Associate, Trade and Customs | Multiple Locations Summer/Fall 2027
KPMG US · Boston, MA · 1 mo ago
HybridFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro paragraph about KPMG, then "KPMG is currently seeking an Associate to join our Trade and Customs practice." That's like about the role. Then Responsibilities list. Then Qualifications list. Then Benefits? There's mention of benefits package, but no specific details beyond generic. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — 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 posting says: "In addition, KPMG is proud to offer a comprehensive, competitive benefits package, with options designed to help you make the best decisions for yourself, your family, and your lifestyle. Available benefits are based on eligibility. Our Total Rewards package includes a variety of medical and dental plans, vision coverage, disability and life insurance, 401(k) plans, and a robust suite of personal well-being benefits to support your mental health. Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year. Additionally, each year KPMG publishes a calendar of holidays to be observed during the year and provides eligible employees two breaks each year where employees will not be required to use Personal Time Off; one is at year end and the other is around the July 4th holiday."
That is fairly specific: mentions medical/dental plans, vision, disability, life insurance, 401(k), personal well-being benefits, PTO, holidays, two breaks. So we can include a Benefits section with those details.
Pay: they mention salary ranges but not actual numbers; they say "If required, the ranges displayed below or via the URL below are specifically for those potential hires...". No actual numbers given. So we should not create Pay section because no specific salary info.
Schedule: they mention standard work hours, PTO, holidays, breaks. That's somewhat schedule info. But they didn't give explicit schedule like "full-time, 40 hours per week". They mention standard work hours, years of service, PTO. Might be considered schedule info but not explicit. Safer to not create Schedule section unless explicit. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits we have specifics, so include Benefits. Schedule: they mention standard work hours, PTO, holidays, breaks. That's somewhat schedule but not explicit like "Monday-Friday 9-5". Might be considered schedule info but ambiguous. Safer to omit Schedule.
We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. Possibly also Skills? The qualifications include skills; but we can keep Qualifications covering skills. No separate Skills needed.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, legal, scam warning, navigation, cookie, application instructions, etc. Also remove "No phone calls or agencies please." etc. Also remove "KPMG is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "Los Angeles County applicants: Material job duties..." etc. Also remove "Follow this link to obtain salary ranges by city outside of CA: ..."? That's a link for salary ranges; but we are not including Pay section, but maybe we could keep the link as part of Benefits? No, it's about salary. Since we are not including Pay, we should drop that link. Also remove "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." (somewhat redundant). Keep benefits details.
We need to keep the responsibilities list exactly as given (but as
- ). The responsibilities sentences are separated by semicolons? Actually they are separated by line breaks? In text: "Responsibilities: Advise clients on import and export matters in a variety of industriesExamine U.S. and international import and export trade mattersResearch, write and review international trade adviceFormulate ideas and deliver possible trade savings opportunitiesAssist in the delivery of multiple client engagements on time and within budget; maintain active communication with clients in an effort to manage expectations and to help enhance client satisfactionSupport clients with the implementation of global trade automated solutionsBuild capabilities in key technologies that enable tax professionals for client service delivery such as artificial intelligence (AI), Alteryx, Power BI, and more"
We need to split into list items. Likely each sentence before a capital letter? We'll parse:
- Advise clients on import and export matters in a variety of industries
- Examine U.S. and international import and export trade matters
- Research, write and review international trade advice
- Formulate ideas and deliver possible trade savings opportunities
- Assist in the delivery of multiple client engagements on time and within budget; maintain active communication with clients in an effort to manage expectations and to help enhance client satisfaction
- Support clients with the implementation of global trade automated solutions
- Build capabilities in key technologies that enable tax professionals for client service delivery such as artificial intelligence (AI), Alteryx, Power BI, and more
We'll keep as is.
Qualifications: It's a long paragraph with many details. We need to turn into
- items. The qualifications text includes multiple sentences separated by periods. We'll split logically.

We should keep the visa sponsorship note as part of qualifications.
Now Benefits section: We need to extract specifics.
