Accounting Associate - Finance - Pittsburgh, PA
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to preserve substantive info.
Let's parse the job description.
First paragraph: "On behalf of VetJobs/MilitarySpouseJobs, thank you for your interest. We are assisting our partnering company, listed below, with this position. It is open to Veterans, Transitioning Military, National Guard Members, Military Spouses, Wounded Warriors, and their Caregivers. If you have the required skill set, education requirements, and experience, please click the submit button and follow for next steps." This is boilerplate/application instructions; we should remove.
Next: "At PNC, our people are our greatest differentiator and competitive advantage in the markets we serve. We are all united in delivering the best experience for our customers. We work together each day to foster an inclusive workplace culture where all of our employees feel respected, valued and have an opportunity to contribute to the company’s success." This is about company culture; could be "About the role" or "About the company". We can put under "About the role" maybe.
Next: "As an Accounting Associate within PNC's Finance organization, you will be based in Pittsburgh, PA. PNC is an in-office company that fosters a supportive culture where employees can thrive and achieve balance. We encourage candidates to connect with their recruiter and hiring manager to understand workplace expectations and ensure the role aligns with their goals. PNC will not provide sponsorship for employment visas or participate in STEM OPT for this position." This includes location, work arrangement, visa note. Could be part of "About the role" or separate "Location" but we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include location under About the role.
Next: "Job Description Supports the organization's accounting activities, including financial record keeping and reporting. Prepares, analyzes, and maintains records of organization's financial activity in accordance with GAAP, organizational standards, and in compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Creates and evaluates reports on financial performance for internal and external use. Interacts with all levels of an organization in determining content and summarizing data for management.

These activities may relate to bank accounting, loans and investments, deposits, and tax, including preparing the appropriate audit work papers for such activities. Supports and assists junior accounting staff in the development of their professional skills." This is responsibilities. So we put under Responsibilities.
Next: "PNC Employees take pride in our reputation and to continue building upon that we expect our employees to be: Customer Focused - Knowledgeable of the values and practices that align customer needs and satisfaction as primary considerations in all business decisions and able to leverage that information in creating customized customer solutions. Managing Risk - Assessing and effectively managing all of the risks associated with their business objectives and activities to ensure they adhere to and support PNC's Enterprise Risk Management Framework." This could be under Qualities/Competencies maybe under Skills or Qualifications. Could be part of "Skills" or "Qualifications". We'll treat as "Skills" maybe.
Next: "Qualifications Successful candidates must demonstrate appropriate knowledge, skills, and abilities for a role. Listed below are skills, competencies, work experience, education, and required certifications/licensures needed to be successful in this position." This is a heading but we will not repeat as heading; we will parse content.
Then: "Preferred Skills Balance Sheets, Decision Making, Finance, Financial Reporting and Analysis, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), Management Reporting, Tax Analysis" This is a list of preferred skills.
Then: "Competencies Accounting, Accuracy and Attention to Detail, Effective Communications, Financial Analysis, Financial And Accounting Systems, Financial Reporting, General Ledger (G-L), Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), Internal Controls" This is competencies.
Then: "Work Experience Roles at this level typically require a university / college degree, with 2+ years of relevant professional experience. In lieu of a degree, a comparable combination of education, job specific certification(s), and experience (including military service) may be considered." This is work experience requirement.
Then: "Education Bachelors" This is education requirement.
Then: "Certifications No Required Certification(s)" etc. Not needed.
Then: "Language Assessments Benefits No Required or Preferred Language Assessments" Not needed.
Then: "PNC offers a comprehensive range of benefits to help meet your needs now and in the future. Depending on your eligibility, options for full-time employees include: medical/prescription drug coverage (with a Health Savings Account feature), dental and vision options; employee and spouse/child life insurance; short and long-term disability protection; 401(k) with PNC match, pension and stock purchase plans; dependent care reimbursement account; back-up child/elder care; adoption, surrogacy, and doula reimbursement; educational assistance, including select programs fully paid; a robust wellness program with financial incentives. In addition, PNC generally provides the following paid time off, depending on your eligibility: maternity and/or parental leave; up to 11 paid holidays each year; 9 occasional absence days each year, unless otherwise required by law; between 15 to 25 vacation days each year, depending on career level; and years of service. To learn more about these and other programs, including benefits for full time and part-time employees, visit pncthrive.com." This is benefits section.
Then: "Disability Accommodations Statement ..." boilerplate; remove.
Then: "Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) ..." remove.
Then: "California Residents ..." remove.
Then: "Auto req ID 484301BR Minimum Education Required Bachelors City* Pittsburgh State* Pennsylvania Job_Category Finance Job Code Banking Banking Affiliate Sponsor PNC" This is metadata; we can drop.
Thus we have sections: About the role (company culture, location, in-office, visa note), Responsibilities (detailed list), Qualifications (maybe combine work experience, education, etc), Skills (preferred skills and competencies), Benefits (benefits and PTO). Pay and Schedule not present, so omit.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for each section heading.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.

We could also include "No required certification(s)" but that's not substantive; we can omit.

We'll include as list.
We must not include boilerplate like "To learn more about these and other programs, including benefits for full time and part-time employees, visit pncthrive.com." That's maybe considered boilerplate but it's substantive info about where to learn more. Might keep as a paragraph.
But instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The benefits link is not exactly boilerplate; it's a reference. Might keep as a paragraph.
We'll include a
