Accountant 3 - Senior Accountant
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Keep substantive info. We need to parse posting. Key info: - Agency: Oregon Youth Authority - Position Title: Accountant 3 - Senior Accountant (but we don't repeat as heading) - Location: Salem, Oregon - Equitable Building - Financial Services Division - Salary Range: $6,276 - $9,644 (monthly? likely monthly). Also note PERS increase etc. We can include Pay section if salary range is given. Yes we have salary range. So include Pay section. - Initial Posting Date and Application Deadline: maybe we can include as metadata in a short p, not heading. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a paragraph with posting date and deadline. - Job Description: includes overview. - "Your Role As a Senior Accountant:" bullet list of duties. - "About OYA": description. - "Our Amazing Benefits Include:" list. - Minimum Qualifications: detailed. - Desired Attributes: list. - Additional info: hybrid work info, etc. Could be included maybe under Requirements or Skills? Hybrid work info maybe under Schedule? Not exactly schedule. Could be under Benefits? Not really. Could be under Requirements? Might be considered "Work Arrangement". But we only have set headings; we could include Schedule if there is schedule info. Not given. Hybrid work info maybe not needed. Could drop. - Also mention "This position receives annual increases on anniversary date until the maximum of the salary range is reached." That's pay detail. - Represented by SEIU. - "IN-STATE HYBRID WORK INFORMATION:" details. We need to decide sections. Potential sections: - About the role (maybe combine overview and Your Role). Could have
About the role
with paragraphs. - Responsibilities: could be the bullet list under "Your Role As a Senior Accountant:" (overseeing GL, preparing statements, special assignments, training, design systems). That's responsibilities. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe Desired Attributes? Or Skills. Could combine Desired Attributes as Skills. - Benefits: list from "Our Amazing Benefits Include:". - Pay: salary range and note about PERS increase, annual increases. - Schedule: maybe hybrid work info? Not exactly schedule but could be considered work arrangement. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Hybrid work info is specific. Could treat as Schedule? Might be better as "Work Arrangement" but not allowed heading. Could we put under Benefits? Not appropriate. Could we put under Requirements? Not really. Could we drop it? Might be okay to drop as not required headings. But we could include under "Schedule" if we interpret hybrid work info as schedule (days in office). It says "Be able to report to the office location listed in the job posting 4-5 days a month." That's schedule expectation. So we can include Schedule section with that info. Also note "IN-STATE HYBRID WORK INFORMATION: Candidates may be approved for hybrid work. Hybrid work suitability is evaluated based upon business needs at the time of hire. Hybrid work approval can be revoked at any time. Candidates are expected to: Be able to report to the office location listed in the job posting 4-5 days a month. (no travel reimbursement will be offered for this requirement) Demonstrate access to a broadband internet connection that meets or exceeds the minimum acceptable requirements; Click Here to view the minimum acceptable requirements. OYA IT Services will provide the necessary hardware to employees who are approved for remote work. Have a private workspace. Maintain good standing (i.e., no performance or attendance issues)." We can include that as Schedule. Now we need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions (How To Apply, Click on Apply, etc.), also "Helpful Links & Resources", "Additional Information: Our goal is to be a diverse workforce..." etc. Also remove "If you want senior-level accounting work..." maybe keep as part of About the role? It's substantive. Keep. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from sections we include. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not haveAccountant 3 - Senior Accountant
. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. Structure:Initial Posting Date: 09/16/2026 | Application Deadline: 09/30/2026
About the role
... paragraphs summarizing overview and maybe mission.
But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can keep original sentences. We can combine overview and "Your Role As a Senior Accountant:" into About the role and Responsibilities sections. Better: About the role: overview of OYA and purpose. Responsibilities: bullet list from "Your Role As a Senior Accountant:". Requirements: Minimum Qualifications. Qualifications/Skills: Desired Attributes. Benefits: list. Pay: salary range and details. Schedule: hybrid work info. Let's extract exact text. About the role overview: The posting starts: "OREGON YOUTH AUTHORITY Accountant 3 - Senior Accountant SALEM, OREGON - Equitable Building - Financial Services Division The Oregon Youth Authority (OYA) seeks an experienced Senior Accountant (Accountant 3) to lead complex accounting functions serving Oregon's youth and communities. Reporting to the Budget & Fiscal Manager within OYA's Financial Services Division, this position provides expert direction to accounting staff across general ledger operations, statewide financial reporting, and internal control design. The Senior Accountant resolves the agency's most complex accounting problems, designs and improves financial systems and interfaces, and develops the policies and procedures that keep OYA's accounting practices compliant with GAAP, the Oregon Accounting Manual, and state and federal law. This recruitment is open only to current State of Oregon employees, reflecting the institutional knowledge of statewide financial systems the role requires. If you want senior-level accounting work with statewide visibility and the chance to strengthen the financial backbone of an agency dedicated to youth reformation, we encourage you to apply." We can keep that as paragraph(s). Might be long but okay. Then "Your Role As a Senior Accountant:" followed by sentences: "Provide expert leadership and direction to OYA's accounting team — overseeing general ledger operations, journal entries, and internal accounting controls.Oversee preparation of the agency's annual financial statements and statewide accounting reports, using automation to improve accuracy and efficiency.Lead special assignments and studies as needed, including work that advances an inclusive, equitable, and diverse workplace.Train accounting staff and agency employees on financial systems, reports, and accounting procedures.Design, maintain, and improve OYA's accounting systems, and develop the policies and procedures that guide agency-wide accounting operations." We need to split into list items. Now About OYA paragraph: "The Oregon Youth Authority (OYA) is a national leader in the juvenile justice field, pioneering the implementation of a positive human development framework for its work with staff and youth, and using data to match the right youth with the right services. We seek to foster cultural competence and pursue equitable solutions to support youth under our care. Our agency mission is to protect the public and reduce crime by holding youth accountable and providing opportunities for reformation in safe environments.

People of color, women and other members of historically underserved communities are strongly encouraged to apply! For more information please visit www.oregon.gov/oya." We can keep that as paragraph under About the role maybe separate? Could be part of About the role. But we already have About the role section; we could include both overview and OYA description there. Now Benefits list: "Our Amazing Benefits Include: Comprehensive Health Coverage: Low-cost medical, vision, and dental plans for you and your family. Additional benefits include life insurance, short- and long-term disability, deferred compensation savings plans, and flexible spending accounts for health and childcare.

Commuting: Access to Get There - Oregon’s carpool matching tool and trip planner. Student Loan Forgiveness: Potential eligibility for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. Live, work, and play in Salem, Oregon." We need to turn each benefit into- each bullet? The text is dense with OR conditions. We'll keep as paragraphs maybe but better as list items for each option. We need to preserve exactly the content, not summarize. We'll replicate the text as is, maybe break into separate
- for each option. Minimum Qualifications text: "Possession of a Certified Public Accountant or Certified Government Financial Manager certificate AND three years of accounting experience equivalent to Accountant 2 work to include designing and modifying accounting systems that require frequent changes in requirements to meet specific business objectives, consulting with program managers or external organizations, and assuring the proper functioning and accountability of fiscal operations; ORA Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or in any discipline that includes or is supplemented by 32 quarter (21 semester) credit hours from an accredited institution in Accounting AND three years of related accounting experience equivalent to Accountant 2 work to include designing and modifying accounting systems that require frequent changes in requirements to meet specific business objectives, consulting with program managers or external organizations, and ensuring the proper functioning and accountability of fiscal operations; OR32 quarter (21 semester) credit hours from an accredited institution in Accounting AND five years of related accounting experience to include a) classifying, analyzing, and reconciling complex financial data and records; b) designing, recommending, and installing modifications of accounting methods, procedures, forms, and records; c) preparing audited financial statements and reports; d) analyzing and interpreting laws, regulations, codes,
