Accounting Manager, Oil & Gas

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like 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. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Company: Whitley Penn - Role: Accounting Manager (but we don't repeat title) - Description: work closely with Energy practice leader to develop tools, systems, processes for Oil & Gas Upstream accounting clients. Oversee operations of Oil and Gas Consulting Group in Dallas, design org structure, etc. - Expectations: Hybrid; M/T/TH In-Office and W/F WFH (Schedule? Actually schedule info: Hybrid; M/T/TH In-Office and W/F WFH). That's schedule. - Location: Houston Office - Classification: Full-time; Exempt - Department: CAAS - Energy Accounting & Consulting - Position Details: classification, department, location, expectations. - Responsibilities: many bullet points under "What You Will Do". We'll list as

• . - Requirements/Qualifications: "What You Need To Get Here": list of experience, education, skills. - Benefits: list under "Why Whitley Penn": Firm Paid Medical Insurance (Free Employee Only Coverage on 2 of 3 plans), Voluntary Dental and Vision Insurance, 17 Annual Firm holidays, with extended break around July 4th and year end, 25 days PTO, Paid Maternity and Parental Leave, 401(k) with Profit Sharing, Discretionary Bonus Program, Firm Paid Becker CPA Review Course & Reimbursement for Exam Fees, Health & Wellness Program, Pet Insurance. - Pay: Not mentioned. So we should NOT create Pay section. - Schedule: we have Hybrid; M/T/TH In-Office and W/F WFH. That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section. - Also maybe "About the role" could be a summary paragraph. We can include an About the role section with prose summarizing the role. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we can start with

  About the role

  then a

  summarizing. We need to preserve all substantive info: include location, classification, department, expectations (maybe schedule). Could put those details in About the role or separate sections? The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put location/classification/etc in About the role or maybe a separate "Position Details" but not a prescribed heading. Better to include them in About the role paragraph. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, E-Verify, etc. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:

We have content that includes experience, education, skills. We could separate: Requirements (experience, education), Qualifications (maybe certifications like APA preferred), Skills (technical skills). But we need to avoid thin sections.

  Schedule:

  Schedule

  Hybrid schedule: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday in‑office; Wednesday and Friday remote (work‑from‑home).

  We should not include Pay section. We should not repeat job title. We should not include any boilerplate like EEO, E-Verify, etc. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: location, classification, department included in About the role. Also we mentioned "Hybrid; M/T/TH In-Office and W/F WFH". Good. We also need to include "Department: CAAS - Energy Accounting & Consulting". Already in About. We also need to include "Classification: Full-time; Exempt". Already. We also need to include "Location: Houston Office". Already. We also need to include "Expectations: Hybrid; M/T/TH In-Office and W/F WFH". Already in schedule. Now check if any other substantive info: "Whitley Penn has become one of the fastest growing public accounting firms..." that's fluff but maybe considered boilerplate? It's about firm culture; could be included in About the role? Might be considered boilerplate but it's descriptive of firm. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. That statement about firm growth is not boilerplate; it's substantive about firm. Could include in About the role
