Accounting Specialist (Corporate Shared Services)
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. 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. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit 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 posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.

- Then "To Be Successful In This Role, You Should Have Three to five years' experience in accounting.Accounting degree preferred.Experience in architecture/engineering/construction environment preferred."
- Then "Essential Duties And Responsibilities Include The Following Prepares monthly invoice and related reports.Assists Project Managers with client invoicing questions and collection.Researches cash receipts, coding, and posting of receipts.Prepares remote bank deposit.Assists Project Managers with project coordination to include system setup, project maintenance, and document management.Review monthly financial project reporting to ensure accuracy for revenue recognition and client invoicing.Provide back-up assistance to other accounting technicians.Assist with audit preparation.Other duties may be assigned."

- Then "Physical Demands and Work Environment The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. While performing the duties of this position, the employee is regularly required to sit. The employee is required to talk and hear. The employee is regularly required to stand, walk, and use hands. The employee must occasionally lift and/or move up to 25 pounds. Specific vision abilities required by this position include close vision and ability to adjust focus."
- Then "Background and Credit Check As part of our commitment to maintaining a safe and trustworthy workplace, all offers of employment are contingent upon the successful completion of a background check and a credit check. All information will be handled in accordance with applicable laws and regulations."
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Background and Credit Check" is maybe legal but it's part of job posting; not sure if considered boilerplate. It's a condition of employment; maybe keep? The instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Background check could be considered legal but it's a typical condition; not sure. Might keep as it's substantive? However they said remove legal boilerplate. I'd consider background check as legal condition; maybe remove. But we need to preserve all substantive information; background check is substantive? It's a condition; but maybe it's considered boilerplate. I'd lean to remove it to follow instruction.
Also "For more details and eligibility please visit Careers - DOWL." is like a link; maybe remove as application instruction? It's not exactly instruction to apply but a reference; could be removed.
We need to decide sections.
We have content about company overview (Why DOWL) - could be "About the role" or "About the company". The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings.
We have:
- About the role/company: description of DOWL, finance department, summary.
- Responsibilities: essential duties and responsibilities list.
- Requirements/Qualifications: "To Be Successful In This Role, You Should Have..." plus maybe "Job Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" could be Skills.
- Benefits: detailed benefits list.
- Pay: not explicitly stated; no salary range. So we should NOT create Pay section.
- Schedule: not stated; no mention of work schedule; so no Schedule.
- Skills: we have Job Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities.
Thus we can have sections: About the role (or About DOWL), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits.
We need to avoid thin sections; maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits.
We need to use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract prose and lists.
