We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short p or drop it. We need to preserve all substantive info, no invented or summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract content: First paragraph: "We are seeking a detail-oriented Accountant to join a collaborative team of 7–9 finance professionals within a local government setting. Reporting directly to the Controller, you will play a crucial role in managing grant accounting, accounts receivable billing, and financial reporting. This role serves as a primary backup to the accounting staff while ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local grant requirements. Hands-on training will be provided by the Controller and Senior Accountant to help you get up to speed quickly." That's about the role. Next: "The Team You Will be Joining Located in southern New Mexico near the Texas and Mexico border, this area is known for its desert landscapes, agricultural production, and growing communities. It includes Las Cruces, New Mexico State University, and access to major transportation routes like I-10 and I-25. The region supports a mix of public service, education, agriculture, tourism, and cross-border commerce." That's maybe about location/team. Then "Major Duties" list: Grant Accounting & Compliance: Review financial status reports from grant administrators, maintain grant files, monitor project statuses, and assist with meeting grantor requirements. AR & Financial Reporting: Coordinate with Accounts Receivable for grantor billings, prepare journal entries, and ensure accurate, timely preparation and submission of all required fiscal reports. Reconciliation: Reconcile revenues and expenditures using fund accounting principles. Operational Support: Act as a backup for other accounting team members to maintain continuous workflow and assist with internal audits, controls, and process improvements. That's responsibilities. Then "What Are We Looking For?" with subpoints: Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accountancy, Business Administration, or a related field. Experience: Minimum of 1 year of entry-level accounting experience. Technical Skills:Proficiency in MS Office (Excel, Word, Outlook). Working knowledge of Workday, spreadsheets, and Excel pivot tables. Preferred Experience:Background in grant accounting or fund accounting. Prior experience in state, city, or local government finance. Clearances & Compliance:Valid driver’s license with a satisfactory driving record. Ability to pass a background check, driver’s license check, and credit check. That's qualifications/requirements/skills. Then "Exciting Opportunity Details Rate: $22.50/hour Contract: September 2026 - March 2027Worksite Location: Las Cruces, NM 88007Onsite/Hybrid/Remote: 100% OnsiteOther key details: Work Environment & CultureWorkplace: Onsite cubicle environment in a secure government building (200–300 employees) with security staff and swipe-access security.

The Peak Performers Difference Excellent medical health, dental & vision insurance at 60 daysOur employees may choose to participate in a 403(b) retirement planQualified applicants with chronic medical conditions and/or disabilities receive priority placementWe pay weekly through direct depositIn business since 1994 and thousands of job placements All employment offers are contingent on the successful completion of a pre-employment criminal background check, in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws. Applicants for employment with Peak Performers must possess work authorization that does not require sponsorship for a visa now or in the future. Peak Performers is an equal opportunity employer and will consider all applicants without regard to race, marital status, sex, age, color, religion, national origin, veteran status, disability or any other characteristic protected by law. Peak Performers does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies or fee-based recruitment services. Custom Job ID: 27-NM-AL3017 #CHP" We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statements, unsolicited resumes, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove application instructions (none). Also remove legal/contingent background check? Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove EEO statement, legal background check contingent? That might be considered legal boilerplate. However "All employment offers are contingent on the successful completion of a pre-employment criminal background check, in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws." That's legal boilerplate; remove. Also "Applicants for employment with Peak Performers must possess work authorization that does not require sponsorship for a visa now or in the future." Might be considered legal; but maybe keep? It's about work authorization; could be considered requirement. But it's more legal. I'd lean to remove as boilerplate. Also "Peak Performers is an equal opportunity employer..." remove. Also "Peak Performers does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters..." remove. Also "Custom Job ID: 27-NM-AL3017 #CHP" is minor metadata; we should fold into short p or drop. Probably drop. Now we need to decide sections. We have: - About the role: first paragraph plus maybe team location description? Could be "About the role" includes role description and team location? Might be separate "About the team" but we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine location/team into About the role or maybe into Requirements? Better to put location/team in About the role. - Responsibilities: the Major Duties list. - Requirements: Education, Experience, maybe Clearances & Compliance? Could be part of Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe Preferred Experience? Could be Qualifications. - Skills: Technical Skills (Proficiency in MS Office, Workday, etc.) - Benefits: The Peak Performers Difference: medical health, dental & vision insurance at 60 days, 403(b) retirement plan, priority placement for chronic medical conditions/disabilities, weekly direct deposit, in business since 1994 (maybe not benefit). Also maybe "Excellent medical health, dental & vision insurance at 60 days" etc. - Pay: Rate: $22.50/hour - Schedule: Contract: September 2026 - March 2027, Worksite Location: Las Cruces, NM 88007, Onsite/Hybrid/Remote: 100% Onsite. Also maybe work environment details? But schedule section should include contract duration and worksite. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have concrete info. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID as heading. We must output only HTML fragment. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to ensure we don't lose any substantive info. Let's extract each piece. About the role prose: "We are seeking a detail-oriented Accountant to join a collaborative team of 7–9 finance professionals within a local government setting. Reporting directly to the Controller, you will play a crucial role in managing grant accounting, accounts receivable billing, and financial reporting. This role serves as a primary backup to the accounting staff while ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local grant requirements. Hands-on training will be provided by the Controller and Senior Accountant to help you get up to speed quickly." Team location prose: "Located in southern New Mexico near the Texas and Mexico border, this area is known for its desert landscapes, agricultural production, and growing communities. It includes Las Cruces, New Mexico State University, and access to major transportation routes like I-10 and I-25. The region supports a mix of public service, education, agriculture, tourism, and cross-border commerce." We could combine these into About the role section as two paragraphs. Responsibilities list: - Grant Accounting & Compliance: Review financial status reports from grant administrators, maintain grant files, monitor project statuses, and assist with meeting grantor requirements. - AR & Financial Reporting: Coordinate with Accounts Receivable for grantor billings, prepare journal entries, and ensure accurate, timely preparation and submission of all required fiscal reports. - Reconciliation: Reconcile revenues and expenditures using fund accounting principles. - Operational Support: Act as a backup for other accounting team members to maintain continuous workflow and assist with internal audits, controls, and process improvements. We need to put each as

  • . The heading before colon could be bold? Not required; just text. Requirements: Education, Experience, Clearances & Compliance? Let's list: - Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accountancy, Business Administration, or a related field. - Experience: Minimum of 1 year of entry-level accounting experience. - Clearances & Compliance: Valid driver’s license with a satisfactory driving record. Ability to pass a background check, driver’s license check, and credit check. We could treat Clearances & Compliance as part of Requirements. Qualifications: Preferred Experience: - Background in grant accounting or fund accounting. - Prior experience in state, city, or local government finance. Skills: - Proficiency in MS Office (Excel, Word, Outlook). - Working knowledge of Workday, spreadsheets, and Excel pivot tables. Benefits: - Excellent medical, dental & vision insurance effective after 60 days. - Employees may choose to participate in a 403(b) retirement plan. - Qualified applicants with chronic medical conditions and/or disabilities receive priority placement. - Weekly pay via direct deposit. - In business since 1994 and thousands of job placements (maybe not a benefit but could be included; but it's more about company. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not a benefit per se but it's substantive info about employer. Could be included in Benefits? Might be okay but it's not a benefit. Could be omitted? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that info somewhere. Could be placed in About the role or a separate section like "About the employer". But we only have allowed headings; we could put it in Benefits? Might be misrepresent. Could add a paragraph under Benefits? Might be okay but it's not a benefit. Could create a separate section like "About the employer" but not allowed. Could incorporate into About the role as additional prose. Let's add a sentence about the employer in About the role: "Peak Performers has been in business since 1994 and has placed thousands of employees." That's substantive. Pay: Rate: $22.50/hour Schedule: Contract: September 2026 - March 2027; Worksite Location: Las Cruces, NM 88007; Onsite/Hybrid/Remote: 100% Onsite. We could also include work environment details: "Workplace: Onsite cubicle environment in a secure government building (200–300 employees) with security staff and swipe-access security. Team Dynamic: Low-turnover, supportive team structure with direct access to department leadership." That's substantive; could be placed in About the role or maybe a separate section like "Work Environment". Not allowed headings; we could add to About the role as additional prose. We must not create sections with filler. So we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Now we need to ensure we don't include any
