GL Accounting Manager at CBRE LIMITED who handled UK GAAP lease accounting and ASC 606 revenue recognition.

At CBRE LIMITED, I handled UK GAAP lease accounting for local properties, from reviewing lease documents through general ledger postings. I also prepared monthly reporting on bad debts and occupancy costs across regions.

In CBRE LIMITED's revenue recognition work, I advised on consulting and project management invoices and accruals under ASC 606. I reviewed client agreements and supported control documentation and compliance, while coaching a support staff member on revenue recognition processes.

At DIVERGE UMHLANGA, I provided accounting, tax, and advisory services to a portfolio of clients. I also worked with startup businesses in online tourism on financial models, business plans, and pitch decks for ESD funding.
