Metzger Lamy
@metzgerlamy
CPA-licensed finance and tax advisor with 20+ years in accounting, audits, internal controls, and treasury for nonprofits and business.
What I'm looking for
I’m a CPA-licensed Finance & Tax Advisor and Audit professional, providing remote advice on demand as Associate Partner at GROUPEX since 2016. With more than 20 years of experience across the commercial and Non-Profit sectors, I focus on accurate reporting, strong internal controls, and practical financial guidance that helps teams move faster with confidence.
In my most recent senior leadership role as Chief Accountant at TVB S.A. Port-au-Prince Terminal SA, I managed the accounting department, oversaw daily transactions, and handled bilan sheet reconciliations and inter-company reconciliations. I also owned treasury management (cash flow, investments, liquidity planning), budget control, fixed assets management, payroll operations, and tax and legal compliance.
Earlier, I led finance strategy and compliance as Finance Director at PROFAMIL, managing budgets aligned with donor requirements, supervising the accounting team, coordinating procurement & logistics, and supporting internal/external audits to ensure transparency. I also strengthened reporting discipline through donor reporting for stakeholders and ensured proper asset tracking and utilization.
My background includes Internal Auditor work at Action Aid and Finance/Compliance leadership at GOAL Haiti, where I ensured accurate donor and internal financial reporting, tax compliance, and proper asset management for multi-project programs. I’m analytical and calm under pressure, committed to continuous professional development (IFRS, ISAs, and Ethics Code), and I keep improving my systems skills through ongoing bookkeeping, QuickBooks, and Excel training.
