Accountant – Partner Accounting
for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro: "We invite you to review our current business services professionals openings to learn about the opportunities available across the firm." This is generic; maybe not needed? It's not a specific section.
- About Us: description of firm.
- The Opportunity: description of role.
- Then bullet list of duties (starting with "Assists with preparing, compiling, analyzing, and reconciling Partner financial information..." etc). Many sentences.
- Qualifications: list of knowledge, skills, abilities.
- Education And Experience Required: Bachelor's degree, preferably in accounting; Minimum of two years related experience.
- Culture & Life at Skadden: description.
- Benefits: list of benefits.
- Salary Details: $75,000 - $85,000.
- EEO Statement etc: boilerplate to remove.
- Also mention "The starting base salary for this position is expected to be within the range listed under Salary Details. Actual salary will be determined based on skills, experience (to the extent relevant) and other-job related factors, consistent with applicable law." This is about Pay.
- Also mention "This position will be based in our White Plains office (hybrid)." That's schedule/location? Could be schedule? Not exactly schedule but location/hybrid. Could be part of "Schedule" maybe? But schedule is about work hours; not given. Could omit schedule section if no specific schedule info. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits are stated. Pay is stated (salary range). Schedule: not explicitly stated; only hybrid location. Could we treat hybrid as schedule? Probably not; schedule would be like full-time, part-time, hours. Not given. So we should not create a Schedule section.
Thus sections we can have:
- About the role (maybe combine About Us and The Opportunity? But heading "About the role" expects description of role. Could put role description there.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: could combine Qualifications and Education & Experience? Or separate Qualifications and Requirements? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose which to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role: could be the "The Opportunity" paragraph plus maybe location/hybrid.
- Responsibilities: bullet list of duties.
- Requirements: maybe Education And Experience Required.
- Qualifications: list of knowledge, skills, abilities.
- Skills: maybe we could split Qualifications into Skills? But Qualifications already includes skills. Could combine Qualifications and Skills? But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we combine Qualifications and Skills into one section called Qualifications (or Skills). But we have both headings available; we need to decide.
We have content: "Knowledge of basic accounting principles. Knowledge of relevant firm computer software programs (e.g., Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint) with the ability to learn new software and operating systems.Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills, with the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a teamExcellent analytical, organizational, and troubleshooting abilities, with strong attention to detail and sound judgmentProven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment while handling sensitive matters with discretion and flexibility"
That's qualifications/skills.
Education And Experience Required: Bachelor's degree, preferably in accounting; Minimum of two years related experience.
Thus we could have:
- Requirements: Education & Experience.
- Qualifications: Knowledge, skills, abilities.
We could also have Skills separate but it's thin; better to keep Qualifications.
Benefits: list.
Pay: salary range.
We should not include About Us? Could be part of About the role? The heading "About the role" expects description of role, not firm. But we could include firm description under About the role? Might be okay but maybe better to have a separate section "About the firm"? Not in allowed headings. So we could incorporate firm description into About the role as context.
Thus:
