Message

I handle full month-end close and financial reporting for a Class A office building as a Senior Real Estate Accountant at CBRE, including accruals, reconciliations, management fee calculations, and variance analysis.

I also manage lease administration for accurate tenant billing of base rent and operating/property tax expense shares, run CAM reconciliations, and support tenants with AR inquiries, disputes, and adjustments.

Earlier, I led process improvements and client onboarding while developing new reporting workflows at First Service Residential, trained and mentored junior accountants, and helped implement electronic banking systems to streamline transfers and increase overall efficiency.
