We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Need to extract content from posting.
Let's parse the posting:
- Intro: "Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. Count on us. Our 'we-care' culture is more than just a motto; it's a promise. From day one, we prioritize your growth, well-being, and success. You can count on us to support your career journey and help you achieve your professional goals. Join us." This is generic fluff, maybe part of About the role? Could be "About the role" or "About us". But we need to decide headings: "About the role" maybe. However the instruction: "use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Need to extract content from posting.

From day one, we prioritize your growth, well-being, and success. You can count on us to support your career journey and help you achieve your professional goals. Join us." This is generic fluff, maybe part of About the role? Could be "About the role" or "About us". But we need to decide headings: "About the role" maybe. However the instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use those headings if content exists.
We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content for it.
Let's extract sections:
1. About the role / About us: The posting includes description of firm, culture, "we-care", "Our Tax Operations and Innovation team focuses on ensuring the tax department has the technology solutions and processes to fulfill their critical business needs. We align business goals and modern technologies to help tax practitioners create measurable value across a variety of commercial industries including manufacturing & distribution, real estate & construction, business & industrial services, private equity, and wealth management." Also "Your role. Role You can look forward to a broad range of projects that will deepen your knowledge of public accounting and how technology plays a crucial role in serving clients in a diversity of industries." This is about role.
Thus we can have an About the role
with paragraphs summarizing that.
2. Responsibilities: The bullet list after "Your experience may include, but will not be limited to:" includes items: Participate in the development and implementation of a tax technology strategy/roadmap to automate, streamline, and standardize the firm’s tax operations. Assist in developing low to no-code technology solutions for the tax department. Collaborate with Tax Subject Matter Experts to design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain tools and templates leveraged by engagement teams. Work closely with individuals across the tax department to understand their needs and help develop technology solutions. Gain an understanding of the firm's technology stack and usage, along with tax processes. Analyzing technology vendors and their products to help the tax department make informed investment decisions. Participating in strategic research projects on advanced technology.
These are responsibilities. So we can have Responsibilities
with - each.
3. Qualifications: The section "The Qualifications." then list: Detail-oriented leader with problem-solving, communication, and analytical skills. Pursuing a Bachelor’s degree with an emphasis in accounting, accounting information systems; or a Master’s degree in accounting or tax. Academic success (a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0). On track to complete the requisite degree and supporting credits to sit for the CPA exam, and to successfully obtain your CPA license in the state in which you will be working. Intermediate Excel skills preferred. Previous experience with Power BI, Power Automate, APIs, and SQL a plus. This is a non-exempt position and may require work hours that exceed the standard 40-hour work week. This position may require some local or national travel.
We need to separate Qualifications vs Skills maybe. The instruction includes headings: Qualifications, Skills. We could put qualifications (education, GPA, CPA track) under Qualifications, and skills (Excel, Power BI, etc.) under Skills. Also travel and hours maybe under Schedule? Actually schedule: "may require work hours that exceed the standard 40-hour work week." That's schedule info. Also travel maybe not schedule but could be under Responsibilities? It's a condition. Could be under Schedule? The heading Schedule is for work schedule specifics. We have info about exceeding 40-hour work week, maybe also travel. Could put under Schedule.
But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We have Pay: The posting includes compensation range: "The compensation range for this role in CO, IL, OH, and MA is: $33.00 - $36.00". Also earlier: "The compensation range reflects the base salary we reasonably expect to pay for this position across our offices in the following regions: CO, IL, OH, and MA." So we have pay info. So we should include
Pay
with that range.
Benefits: There is a paragraph: "We are pleased to offer eligible staff a robust benefits package. Eligibility and contribution requirements for some of these benefits vary based on the number of hours staff work per week. Highlights include health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance. In addition to this, eligible staff are able to take advantage of our Flexible Time Off and various pre-determined holidays, as well as a 401(k) plan, flexible benefits plans, business-related travel expense, lodging, and meal reimbursement for business-related use. A pension plan is also available for eligible administrative and paraprofessional staff. A discretionary bonus plan is available for eligible staff. Plante Moran also offers some contingent staff positions the option to elect health insurance in addition to limited paid sick time."
That's substantive benefits. So include Benefits
with list.
Schedule: We have "may require work hours that exceed the standard 40-hour work week." Also maybe travel. Could put under Schedule. Also "This position may require some local or national travel." That's not schedule but could be under Responsibilities or a separate heading like Travel? Not in list. Probably include under Schedule as note about hours exceeding standard and travel.
We also have "Plante Moran enjoys a “Workplace for Your Day” model which, simply put, means we strive for flexibility and balance while staying true to our principally in-person model. We believe that face-to-face interactions are paramount for individual and collective development, but also encourage individuals to work with their supervisor and team to determine their optimal working environment each day." That's about work model/flexibility. Could be under Schedule or maybe under Benefits? It's about work arrangement. Could be under Schedule as well.
Thus Schedule section: include that description.
Now we need to remove boilerplate: EEO statements, drug-free workplace, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove navigation/cookie etc. Not present.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. No job title given explicitly; we can ignore.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
- ...
...
Qualifications
- ...
...
Skills
- ...
...
Benefits
- ...
...
Pay
The compensation range for this role in CO, IL, OH, and MA is: $33.00 - $36.00.
Schedule
...
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract each piece precisely.
About the role content: Combine paragraphs:
"Our Tax Operations and Innovation team focuses on ensuring the tax department has the technology solutions and processes to fulfill their critical business needs. We align business goals and modern technologies to help tax practitioners create measurable value across a variety of commercial industries including manufacturing & distribution, real estate & construction, business & industrial services, private equity, and wealth management."
"You can look forward to a broad range of projects that will deepen your knowledge of public accounting and how technology plays a crucial role in serving clients in a diversity of industries."
Also earlier: "Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. Count on us. Our 'we-care' culture is more than just a motto; it's a promise. From day one, we prioritize your growth, well-being, and success. You can count on us to support your career journey and help you achieve your professional goals. Join us."
That's generic fluff but maybe part of About the role. Could include but it's not specific to role. Might be considered boilerplate? It's about culture, but could be considered part of About the role. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not exactly those; it's culture fluff. Might be okay to keep. However we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine into About the role.
Thus About the role paragraph(s) could be:
Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. Count on us. Our "we-care" culture is more than just a motto; it's a promise. From day one, we prioritize your growth, well-being, and success. You can count on us to support your career journey and help you achieve your professional goals. Join us.

You can look forward to a broad range of projects that will deepen your knowledge of public accounting and how technology plays a crucial role in serving clients in a diversity of industries.
That seems fine.
Responsibilities list: we need to capture each bullet exactly.
Let's list:
- Participate in the development and implementation of a tax technology strategy/roadmap to automate, streamline, and standardize the firm’s tax operations.

Note the last two start with gerund "Analyzing" and "Participating". Keep as is.
Qualifications: list:

- Pursuing a Bachelor’s degree with an emphasis in accounting, accounting information systems; or a Master’s degree in accounting or tax.

But note the last two about hours and travel could be moved to Schedule. However they are in Qualifications section originally. We could keep them there but then Schedule would be empty or duplicate. Better to split: Qualifications for education, GPA, CPA track, skills? Actually skills separate.
Let's decide: Qualifications: education, GPA, CPA track. Skills: Excel, Power BI, Power Automate, APIs, SQL
