Sales$100k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use ul/li for lists, p for prose. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate etc. Include only sections with real specific content. No filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Benefits only if posting actually states them. The posting includes "Compensation And Benefits" with salary range $100,000 - $100,000 (actually same number). That is a specific range, though it's same low and high. Should we include Pay section? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state compensation and benefits. So we can include Pay (maybe as

Pay

) and Benefits (

Benefits

) or combine? The rules list possible headings: Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can separate. Provide Pay with the range. Benefits: mention competitive benefits package and link to 2026 Benefits. Should we include the link? It's a URL. Probably keep as plain text. Also include Overview? The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Overview maybe not in list but could be considered "About the role". The posting has "Overview" sections (two). We could treat first Overview as "About the role". The second Overview after Qualifications is more about the group. Could combine? Probably better to have "About the role" summarizing the firm description. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We can keep the overview prose as

under About the role. Use the text from "Business Unit: Financial And Valuation Advisory Industry: Transaction Opinions Overview Houlihan Lokey, Inc....". That's a lot. We need to preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include that overview text. Also later there is another Overview about Board & Special Committee Advisory group. That could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "Team Overview". But not in allowed headings. Could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities? Probably better to keep as part of About the role (since it's about the group). However we must not create headings not listed unless needed? The instruction says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can stick to those headings. We'll map content: - About the role: includes Business Unit, Industry, Overview of firm, Financial and Valuation Advisory overview, maybe also the Board & Special Committee Advisory group overview (since it's about the role's context). We'll include all that prose. - Responsibilities: list of duties from "Financial Analysts support engagements and new business development by:" bullet list. - Qualifications: list from Qualifications bullet points. - Skills: maybe combine Qualifications and Skills? The posting has qualifications list includes skills. Could treat Qualifications as heading and include those bullet points. Skills maybe not needed separately if qualifications cover. But we could still have Skills heading if we want to separate soft skills? The qualifications list includes many skill-like items. To avoid thin sections, we can just have Qualifications heading and include all bullet points. No separate Skills. - Benefits: from Compensation And Benefits: "Houlihan Lokey provides a competitive benefits package. Our current benefits offerings can be found here: 2026 Benefits". Also maybe mention "competitive total compensation package". We'll include that. - Pay: from same: "The firm’s good faith and reasonable estimate of the possible salary range for this role at the time of posting is: $100,000 - $100,000". We'll output that. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove that. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie etc. We must not include application instructions. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include the overview text exactly as given? We can keep it as prose, not altering meaning. Should we keep the "Business Unit: Financial And Valuation Advisory Industry: Transaction Opinions Overview" line? That's like a label. Could be part of overview. We'll keep it as a sentence. Let's extract the overview text: "Business Unit: Financial And Valuation Advisory Industry: Transaction Opinions Overview Houlihan Lokey, Inc. (NYSE:HLI) is a leading global investment bank recognized for delivering independent strategic and financial advice to corporations, financial sponsors, and governments. With uniquely deep industry expertise, broad international reach, and a partnership approach rooted in trust, the firm provides innovative, integrated solutions across mergers and acquisitions, capital solutions, financial restructuring, and financial and valuation advisory.

Our stability, integrity, technical leadership, and global capabilities make us a trusted advisor for clients worldwide, across a wide range of services, including the Transaction Opinions, Fund Opinions, Transaction Advisory Services, Corporate Valuation Advisory Services, Portfolio Valuation, Real Estate Valuation and Advisory Services, and Dispute Resolution Consulting practices." Then later there is another Overview: "Overview Our Board & Special Committee Advisory group provides advice to board of directors and special committees in valuing complex businesses and securities, understanding and structuring critical transaction issues, advising on alternatives, and rendering transaction opinions. The group primarily focuses on complex situations, related-party transactions, and other corporate governance issues for board of directors and special committees.

Our dedicated Transaction Opinions group delivers fairness, solvency, and valuation advisory services across a variety of situations including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures/spin-offs, SPACs/PIPEs, recapitalizations, restructurings, and activist shareholder situations." We'll combine both into About the role. Now Responsibilities bullet list: "Analyzing and explaining historical and projected financial information; Performing business and financial due diligence; Conducting industry and sub-sector research; Valuing companies, businesses and securities; Building complex financial models (e.g., to support negotiating/advocacy positions, assess cash flows of a company and/or value specific securities); Assisting with the preparation of board/special committee presentations supporting advice and opinions; Participating in pitches and business development initiatives; and Supporting relationships with current and prospective clients." Note there is a trailing "and" before last bullet; we can keep as list items. Qualifications bullet list: "An undergraduate degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics or a related field, with a graduation date between December 2026 and June 2027 Prior investment banking, valuation or related experience Strong accounting, finance, financial modeling and analytical abilities Strong qualitative and quantitative research skills Excellent oral and written communication skills Be an independent thinker and resourceful problem solver driven to succeed in a fast-paced environment Have a very strong work ethic, organizational skills and ability to multi-task" We'll output as
  • each. Pay: "$100,000 - $100,000". Could note that it's the estimate. Benefits: "Houlihan Lokey provides a competitive benefits package. Our current benefits offerings can be found here: 2026 Benefits". Also maybe mention "competitive total compensation package". We'll include that. Now ensure no extra sections like Schedule. Now output HTML fragment only. Let's craft:
