Assurance Manager or Director
CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen) · Shelton, CT · 1 mo ago
AccountingFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of firm and role. We need headings for sections present: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". We must include only sections with real specific content. Let's parse.
Content:
- Intro about CLA: firm description. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About CLA". But instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "About the role" for firm overview and role context.
- Then "How you’ll create opportunities in this Audit Director or Manager role:" list of duties. That's responsibilities. So we can put under
Responsibilities
with- each duty.
- Then "What You Will Need": list of requirements: Bachelor's degree, 6 years experience, CPA license, etc. Also personal attributes: help others, lead team, solving issues, work with clients. Those could be under Requirements or Qualifications or Skills. We need to decide.
We have "What You Will Need" includes both qualifications (education, experience, certification) and skills/attributes. Could split: Requirements (education, experience, CPA) and Skills (leadership, problem solving, client focus). But we must not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. Could combine into one section "Requirements and Qualifications". But headings list includes Requirements and Qualifications separate. We could use "Requirements" for education/experience/CPA, and "Skills" for personal attributes. That seems reasonable.
- Then after that there is "Equal Opportunity Employer..." which is boilerplate to remove.
- Then "Wellness at CLA" describing benefits: health, dental, vision, 401k and much more. That's benefits. So we can have
Benefits
with- health, dental, vision, 401k, etc. Also mention comprehensive benefit options.
- No explicit Pay or Schedule info. So we should NOT create those sections.
- Also location info: "in-office position based out of one of our Pittsburgh or Connecticut office locations: Pittsburgh, PA, Shelton, CT, and West Hartford, CT." That's location detail; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not in headings list. Could fold into About the role paragraph.
- Also mention "This is an in-office position". Could be in About the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Audit & Assurance Director or Manager.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all duties listed, all requirements, all benefits.
Let's extract duties list:
From "How you’ll create opportunities in this Audit Director or Manager role:" after colon, sentences:
1. Assume responsibility for planning, supervising, and controlling all phases of the Firm’s Nonprofit and at times, other regulated industry clients as delegated by Principals.
2. Assume in-charge responsibility; plan the timing, staffing and execution of assurance engagements to promote the most efficient operation and deliver value to our clients.
3. Lead the decision-making process for assigned engagements/clients; keep the Engagement Principal fully informed of major decisions and the engagement progress.
4. Develop a responsible and trained team through assistance in recruiting, planning assignments, resolving problems, providing direct consultation to staff, evaluating staff performance, and acting as an instructor or discussion leader in professional development programs.
5. Supervise preparation of the engagement letter for approval by the Engagement Principal, discuss the nature and terms of the assignment with the client, estimate fees, and ensure client signs and returns the engagement letter prior to the start of the engagement.
6. Evaluate internal controls and audit programs prepared by staff, revise as necessary, and present to the Engagement Principal for approval.
7. Follow the engagement progress through monitoring time budgets and deadlines for adherence; communicate important developments to the Engagement Principal along with facts, conclusions, and recommendations; provide ongoing attention to Client management; and prepare final client meetings.
Note: there is a typo "provide ongoing attention toClient management;" but we keep as is.
Now requirements list from "What You Will Need":
- You have a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
- You have a minimum of 6 years of public accounting experience with emphasis in financial statement preparation and audits.
- CPA license certification is required.
- You jump at the chance to help others and you’re ready to lead a team of high-performing people.
- You have a knack for solving issues and can confidently bring solutions to the table.
- You love to work with clients’ to help their businesses succeed strategically.
We could separate first three as Requirements (education, experience, CPA). The last three as Skills (help others, lead team, solving issues, client focus). Could also include "lead a team" as skill.
Now benefits: "Wellness at CLA To support our CLA family members, we focus on their physical, financial, social, and emotional well-being and offer comprehensive benefit options that include health, dental, vision, 401k and much more. To view a complete list of benefits, click here."
We need to preserve all substantive information: mention physical, financial, social, emotional well-being; comprehensive benefit options include health, dental, vision, 401k and much more. Also note "To view a complete list of benefits, click here." That's a link instruction; but we are to remove application instructions? This is not application instruction; it's a link to benefits list. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a reference to click here for more details. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not exactly those; it's a benefits link. Might keep as part of benefits description. But we could keep the sentence as is, maybe without the "click here" link? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The phrase "To view a complete list of benefits, click here." is substantive? It's a directive to click; maybe considered navigation? It's like a link. Might be considered navigation. Safer to omit that sentence? But it's not exactly navigation; it's a call to action for benefits. However, the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not exactly those; it's a benefits link. I'd keep it but maybe as plain text without link. Since we cannot include actual link (no href). We could keep the sentence but remove the "click here" as it's a link instruction. But that would be summarizing away detail? Might be okay. I'd keep the sentence: "To view a complete list of benefits, click here." as plain text.
Now location: "This is an in-office position based out of one of our Pittsburgh or Connecticut office locations: Pittsburgh, PA, Shelton, CT, and West Hartford, CT." We'll include in About the role paragraph.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown.

We need to ensure no extra sections like Pay or Schedule. Check for any duplicated lines: none. Check for boilerplate removed: Equal Opportunity Employer line removed. Check for preserving all substantive info: we kept firm description, location, responsibilities, requirements, skills, benefits. Did we miss anything? The phrase "Even with more than 8,500 people, 130 U.S. locations, and a global reach, we promise to know you and help you." included. Good. We kept "Assume in-charge responsibility; plan the timing, staffing and execution of assurance engagements to promote the most efficient operation and deliver value to our clients." Good. We kept "Develop a responsible and trained team through assistance in recruiting, planning assignments, resolving problems, providing direct consultation to staff, evaluating staff performance, and acting as an instructor or discussion leader in professional development programs."

We kept "Follow the engagement progress through monitoring time budgets and deadlines for adherence; communicate important developments to the Engagement Principal along with facts, conclusions, and recommendations; provide ongoing attention to Client management; and prepare final client meetings." Good. We kept requirements exactly. We kept skills: we rephrased slightly but kept meaning. Need to ensure we didn't summarize away detail. Original:
- health, dental, vision, 401k, etc. Also mention comprehensive benefit options.
- No explicit Pay or Schedule info. So we should NOT create those sections.
- Also location info: "in-office position based out of one of our Pittsburgh or Connecticut office locations: Pittsburgh, PA, Shelton, CT, and West Hartford, CT." That's location detail; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not in headings list. Could fold into About the role paragraph.
