We need to output HTML fragment only, with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph about NOVEC mission etc. That's about the organization; could be "About the role" or maybe "Overview". The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections apply. We have: Overview: "Manages the day-to-day operations of the Accounting Department by planning, organizing, and directing staff, to ensure the accuracy, integrity, and continuity of financial data and reporting. Provides timely, reliable accounting information that supports management decision-making and the organization’s overall financial stewardship." That's like a summary of role. Could go under "About the role". Then "DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:" with a list of duties. Many bullet-like sentences. We need to put them in
  • . Should we split each duty as separate
  • . The text includes many sentences separated by periods. We'll extract each duty as separate bullet. List of duties: - Communicates effectively with outside vendors on behalf of the Accounting Department and the organization. - Manage the monthly, quarterly, and annual accounting close process. - Review of financial statements and management reports. - Ensure transactions are recorded accurately and in accordance with GAAP and company policies. - Establish and maintain effective accounting procedures and internal controls. Identify opportunities to improve. - Support system enhancements and implementations. - Directs capital credit allocations and retirements. - Monitors, reviews, and participates in annual external audits. - Performs financial analyses and prepares custom reports to address management inquiries and financial information needs. - Pursues ongoing professional development to remain current on accounting and tax procedures and practices. - Performs other related duties as assigned to support effective department operations. - Maintains the integrity and confidentiality of highly sensitive human resources and management records. - Overseas and directs department activities to ensure the accurate and timely preparation of financial management reports, including internal and external monthly financial statements, and annual audits. - Establishes, administers, and continuously improves accounting procedures and internal controls to ensure accurate transaction processing, financial reporting, and compliance. - Provides departmental leadership to support staffing, training, coaching, development, work assignments, performance management, goal setting, and compliance with company policies and procedures. Note: Some duplicates: "Performs other related duties as assigned" appears twice. We'll keep one. Also "Other related duties may be assigned." earlier. We'll combine. Now "EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:" This is qualifications/requirements. We'll put under "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The instruction includes both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide which to use. Probably "Requirements" for education/experience, and "Qualifications" for knowledge, skills & abilities? But they also have "KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & ABILITIES:" which is skills. So we can have: - Requirements: Education and Experience. - Qualifications: maybe not needed separate; but we could put Knowledge, Skills & Abilities under "Skills". Or we could have "Qualifications" for knowledge, skills & abilities. However instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Education/Experience and Knowledge, Skills & Abilities into one "Requirements" section? But they ask to use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could have:

    Requirements

    for Education and Experience.

    Skills

    for Knowledge, Skills & Abilities. We might not need Qualifications separate. Now "WHAT WE OFFER:" includes benefits: Competitive pay, Premier health benefits..., Survivor and Disability benefits, 401(k) retirement plan..., Life insurance, Vacation, Sick and Holiday Leave, Educational Assistance, Annual Company Events. We need to include Benefits section if posting actually states them. Yes. So

    Benefits

    with list. Pay: The posting mentions "Competitive pay" but not specific numbers. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Competitive pay" which is a statement about pay, albeit not specific. Is that enough? It says "Competitive pay" is a statement. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Competitive pay". So we can include Pay section with that statement. However they also say: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could we incorporate pay into Benefits? But they have separate headings. Might be okay to include Pay with that line. Schedule: Not mentioned. So we omit Schedule. Now we need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At end: "If you're ready to take the next step towards advancing your career, apply today! NOVEC is an equal opportunity employer and participates in E-Verify. We do not provide sponsorship for this position. The anticipated starting salary within the posted salary range will be determined based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the candidate's education, relevant experience, skills, qualifications, certifications, internal equity, and market considerations." We need to remove application instructions ("apply today!") and EEO statement. Also the line about anticipated starting salary is somewhat generic; but it's still substantive? It's about salary determination. Might be considered part of Pay? But it's generic. The instruction says: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The line about anticipated starting salary is generic but still states something about salary determination. However it's somewhat filler. Might be better to omit it as it's not specific. The posting already said "Competitive pay". That's enough. Thus we will omit the final paragraph about EEO, sponsorship, salary determination. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown fences. We'll structure:

    About the role

    ... overview paragraph(s) ...

    Maybe also include the introductory paragraph about NOVEC mission etc. That is about the organization, not the role. Could be part of About the role? Might be better to have a section "About the role" that includes both the overview and the organization description? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). So we can put the NOVEC mission description under About the role as context. Thus About the role paragraph: combine the introductory paragraph about NOVEC mission and the overview of role. We need to preserve all substantive information: The intro includes mission, location, service stats, reliability, tech. That's substantive about the company. Should we keep it? Yes, preserve all substantive information. So include that in About the role. Thus About the role

    will contain multiple sentences. Could be multiple

    tags? The instruction: use

    for prose. Could have multiple

    paragraphs. We'll split logically: first paragraph about NOVEC mission and service; second paragraph about role overview. Now Responsibilities:

    Responsibilities

    • ... each duty ...
    Now Requirements:

    Requirements

    Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field is required, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Certified Public Accountant (CPA) licensure is preferred. Requires 7-10 years of experience, including leadership of programs and staff, in GAAP and financial reporting operations, with demonstrated expertise in financial statement preparation, journal entries, payroll, accounts payable, billing, account analysis, business operations analysis, cash flow management, multi-level financial reporting, asset accounting, and business tax matters.

    Now Skills:

    Skills

    • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, multi-task environment and collaboratively as part of a team.
    • Demonstrated knowledge of company policies and procedures and applicable federal, state, and local laws.
    • Knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles and strong mathematical skills.
    • Demonstrated accounting expertise to develop and enforce internal controls and procedures that ensure accurate, reliable accounting system operations, transaction processing, and reporting.
    • Proficiency in general computer operations, Microsoft Office applications, and accounting systems.
    • Ability to anticipate and respond to changing customer and business needs by quickly realigning strategic and operational priorities.
    • Demonstrated ability to lead teams, achieve results through others, develop and motivate staff, and manage multiple priorities effectively.
    • Ability to think ahead and plan with both short-term and long-term focus.
    • Knowledge of human resources administration to manage employee work, conduct performance reviews, develop goals and objectives, and ensure compliance with policies and procedures.
    • Demonstrated organizational, detail-oriented, and analytical problem-solving skills, with the ability to apply theoretical and technical concepts in practical decision-making.
    Now Benefits:

    Benefits

    • Competitive pay
    • Premier health benefits, including an onsite wellness center
    • Survivor and Disability benefits
    • 401(k) retirement plan with a 4% base salary match and an additional match of your contribution at a rate of 50% up to the first 12%
    • Life insurance
    • Vacation, Sick and Holiday Leave
    • Educational Assistance
    • Annual Company Events
    Now Pay: Could we omit Pay because we already have Competitive pay in Benefits? But the instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They list Pay as a possible heading. If we put Competitive pay in Benefits, we might be duplicating. However we could keep Pay section with just "Competitive pay". But then Benefits would not include that line. To avoid duplication, we could put Competitive pay under Pay section, and Benefits section includes the other benefits. That seems more accurate: Pay section for compensation, Benefits for other perks. Thus:

    Pay

    Competitive pay

    Benefits

    • Premier health benefits, including an onsite wellness center
    • Survivor and Disability benefits
    • 401(k) retirement plan with a 4% base salary match and an additional match of your contribution at a rate of 50% up to the first 12%
    • Life insurance
    • Vacation, Sick and Holiday Leave
    • Educational Assistance
    • Annual Company Events
    Now we need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The line "Other related duties may be assigned." appears earlier; we included "Performs other related duties as assigned to support effective department operations." (similar). Also "Other related duties may be assigned." is generic; we can ignore duplicate. Also "Reasonable accommodation may be available to enable individuals with
