Forvis Mazars US · Fort Washington, PA · 1 wk ago
HybridFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove application instructions. We need to preserve substantive info.
Let's parse the posting:
- Description & Requirements (title). Then paragraphs about being accounting student, CPA eligibility, full-time opportunity in Audit, etc.
- "How You Will Contribute" list: bullet points (though not bullet but sentences). We'll treat as list.
- "We are looking for people who have Forward Vision and:" then list of attributes: Effective time management, Strong oral and written communication skills, Ability to work well with a team as well as independently, Problem-solving attitude, Willingness to take initiative, Close attention to detail, Ability to work under pressure and against deadlines.
- Minimum Qualifications: bullet list.
- Preferred Qualifications: bullet list.
- About Forvis Mazars, LLP: paragraph.
- What We Offer: paragraph about total rewards program and flexible work environment.
- Legal Notice: boilerplate (EEO etc) to remove.
- Also "Applicants for positions with Forvis Mazars must be legally authorized to work in the United States. Verification of employment eligibility will be required at the time of hire. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position." This is part of Preferred Qualifications? Actually appears after Preferred Qualifications line. It's a requirement: legal authorization, verification, no visa sponsorship. Should be included maybe under Requirements or Qualifications.
- Also "To explore what makes working at Forvis Mazars special, visit www.forvismazars.us/careers." That's like a link; maybe part of What We Offer? It's a call to action; could be considered application instruction? It's not exactly application instruction but a link to careers page. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal/EEO. It's a promotional link. Might keep as part of What We Offer? It says "To explore what makes working at Forvis Mazars special, visit ..." Could be considered a call to action but not application instruction. The instruction says remove application instructions. This is not exactly applying; it's just a link to learn more. Might keep as part of What We Offer.
- Also "Forvis Mazars, LLP is an independent member of Forvis Mazars Global..." That's About Forvis Mazars.
- "Ranked among the largest public accounting firms..." etc.
- "Our robust total rewards program and flexible work environment reflect our commitment..." That's What We Offer.
Now decide sections:
- About the role: Could be the initial description paragraph(s) about role: "Are you an accounting student striving for CPA eligibility and looking for a full-time opportunity in Audit? At Forvis Mazars, you can use your critical thinking abilities to help clients solve problems or apply your social skills to build rewarding business relationships. You will work with clients from a variety of industries as you develop your technical skills and strengthen the foundation on which you will build your career. Whether you choose to start in audit or tax, you will be coached by our experienced staff and management personnel. As your skill set grows, you will assume greater responsibility and actively participate in determining your career path."
That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: The "How You Will Contribute" list: Completing audit testing on financial statement accounts such as cash, accounts payable, or fixed assets; Working with client personnel to reconcile account differences and analyze financial data; Helping to draft management letter comments and the audit report; Participating in client meetings alongside Forvis Mazars partners and managers.
- Requirements: Could combine Minimum Qualifications and maybe legal auth etc. But we have separate sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction says use headings for those categories if content exists. We need to decide what goes where.
We have Minimum Qualifications (associate positions require bachelor's degree, GPA 3.0, grade C or higher in job-relevant coursework, intermediate accounting, CPA eligibility, solid technical accounting knowledge, proficiency in MS Office, reliable transportation). That's qualifications.
Preferred Qualifications: Prior internships in public accounting performing audit work; legal authorization to work in US; verification of employment eligibility; no visa sponsorship.
Skills: The list under "We are looking for people who have Forward Vision and:" includes time management, communication, teamwork, problem-solving, initiative, attention to detail, ability to work under pressure.
Thus we can map:
- Requirements: maybe the Minimum Qualifications? Or we could treat Requirements as the mandatory items (minimum qualifications). Qualifications could be Preferred Qualifications. Skills as the soft skills list.
But the instruction says headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide which content fits each.
We have no explicit Pay or Schedule info. So we should NOT create those sections.
Benefits: We have "What We Offer" paragraph about total rewards program and flexible work environment. That's benefits. So we can create Benefits section with that content.
Thus sections:
- About the role (intro paragraph)
- Responsibilities (How You Will Contribute list)
- Requirements (Minimum Qualifications)
- Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications)
- Skills (Forward Vision attributes)
- Benefits (What We Offer)
We should not include Pay or Schedule.
Now we need to format using

That's substantive.

Benefits: We have "What We Offer" paragraph about total rewards program and flexible work environment. That's benefits. So we can create Benefits section with that content.
Thus sections:
- About the role (intro paragraph)
- Responsibilities (How You Will Contribute list)
- Requirements (Minimum Qualifications)
- Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications)
- Skills (Forward Vision attributes)
- Benefits (What We Offer)
We should not include Pay or Schedule.
Now we need to format using for each section heading, then content:
for prose,
- for lists.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal notice, etc. Must remove duplicated lines.
Check for duplicated lines: The posting includes "Applicants for positions with Forvis Mazars must be legally authorized to work in the United States. Verification of employment eligibility will be required at the time of hire. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position." This appears after Preferred Qualifications line but is not duplicated elsewhere. We'll include it under Qualifications (Preferred) maybe as separate bullet? It is a requirement but not exactly preferred; it's a mandatory eligibility. Could treat as part of Requirements (minimum qualifications) as well. But we already have Minimum Qualifications list; we could add these as additional bullet points under Requirements. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can add them as bullet points under Requirements (maybe as separate bullet). But we need to decide where they fit best.
The Preferred Qualifications bullet list originally: "Prior internships in a public accounting firm performing audit work". Then after that, there is a sentence about legal authorization etc. It might be considered a separate requirement not necessarily preferred. But we can include it under Qualifications as a bullet (maybe not preferred). However the heading "Qualifications" is for preferred qualifications; we could still include mandatory eligibility there but it's okay.
Alternatively we could create a separate section "Requirements" for minimum qualifications and also include the legal auth etc there. Let's see: Minimum Qualifications list includes: Associate positions require a bachelor's degree; Must maintain a minimum cumulative overall GPA of 3.0; Achievement of a minimum grade of C or higher in job-relevant coursework; Achievement of a minimum grade of C or higher in intermediate accounting; Candidates must be eligible to sit for the CPA exam in at least one U.S. State by the start date of the role; Solid technical accounting knowledge; Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite; Must have reliable transportation to and from your assigned office and be able to attend off-site meetings and events in person.
The legal auth etc is not in that list. So we should add it somewhere. Could add under Requirements as additional bullet points (maybe after the list). Or we could add under Qualifications as a bullet (makes sense as a qualification). Since it's about work authorization, it's a requirement but not a qualification per se. However the instruction says we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections; we can put mandatory items in Requirements, preferred in Qualifications. So we should add legal auth etc to Requirements.
Thus Requirements section will have the Minimum Qualifications list plus the legal auth etc bullets.
Now Skills: list of Forward Vision attributes.
Benefits: What We Offer paragraph plus maybe the link to careers page. We'll keep the link as part of the paragraph (maybe as but we are not to add extra tags? The instruction only says use
,
- ,
. It didn't forbid . But to be safe, we can keep the URL as plain text within
. It's okay. Now we must remove boilerplate: Legal Notice (EEO etc). Also "Forvis Mazars, LLP is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer..." etc. Remove that. Also "To explore what makes working at Forvis Mazars special, visit www.forvismazars.us/careers." Keep. Now check for any other boilerplate: "Description & Requirements" heading we ignore as it's not a section heading we output. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:
