We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for section headings 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 the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the job description. Key sections: - Intro paragraph about CohnReznick, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the firm". 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 based on content. We have: - "YOUR TEAM." This describes team, Affordable Housing Group, etc. Could be "About the role" or "Team". Could be "About the role" maybe. - "WHY COHNREZNICK?" This describes mission, benefits, total rewards, etc. Could be "Benefits" or "Why CohnReznick". But we have a Benefits section allowed. The posting mentions: "We invest in a robust Total Rewards package that includes everything from generous PTO, a flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, and even paid time off for employees to volunteer." Also mentions hybrid work schedule: "our professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week." That's schedule info. - "YOUR ROLE." includes responsibilities list. - "Your Experience." includes qualifications. - Salary range: "In Maryland, the salary range for an Assurance Senior Associate is $80,000 to $120,000." That's Pay. - Also mention hybrid schedule: "While the cadence of in-office presence is determined at the team level, our professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week." That's Schedule. - Benefits: total rewards package details. - Responsibilities: list bullet points. - Requirements/Qualifications: "Your Experience." bullet list: CPA or CPA eligibility, 3+ years assurance experience, preferably affordable housing or real estate, strong technical, analytical, communication skills, proven ability to lead engagements and develop others, knowledge of audit software Caseware a plus. - Skills: maybe mention advanced Excel proficiency. We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Remove duplicated lines, application instructions, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We need to use

    for section headings. Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

      for prose. We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". Could combine some. We must not create a section if content is filler/placeholder. All sections we create must have real specific content. Let's extract content: About the role / team: paragraphs about team, Affordable Housing Group, description of firm, etc. Could be "About the role" or "About the team". We'll use "About the role". Content: multiple paragraphs. Responsibilities: list bullet points under "Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To". We'll extract each bullet. Qualifications: "Your Experience." bullet list. Skills: maybe "Advanced Excel proficiency" etc. Could be part of Qualifications or separate Skills section. Since we have a Skills heading allowed, we could put Excel proficiency there. Benefits: total rewards package: generous PTO, flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, paid time off to volunteer, discretionary performance bonus, etc. Also mention hybrid work? That's schedule. Pay: salary range $80,000 to $120,000. Schedule: hybrid, encouraged to be in office average 3 days a week. We need to avoid duplication: The total rewards also mentions flexible work environment; but schedule is separate. We need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder like "not specified". All good. Now we need to format. We'll produce something like:

      Schedule

      This is a hybrid position; professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week, with the exact cadence determined at the team level.

      We need to ensure we didn't repeat job title as heading. We didn't. We need to preserve all substantive information: Did we miss any? Let's check original text for any other details: - "CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices." This is about location/commutable distance. Could be part of About the role or maybe schedule? It's about location. Could be included in About the role paragraph. - "While the cadence of in-office presence is determined at the team level, our professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week." Already captured. - "This position is considered hybrid which means team members are expected to be thoughtful and intentional in how they create opportunities for in-person collaboration." Could be part of schedule or about role. - "You will work on a team with other Associates, Senior Associates, Managers, Senior Managers, and Partners." Already in team description. - "This team has a passion for what they do and a focus on consistently delivering value to our clients." Could be part of About the role. - "At CohnReznick, we’re united by a common mission to create opportunity, value, and trust for our clients, our people, and our communities." Could be part of Why CohnReznick but we moved to Benefits? Actually that's mission statement; could be part of About the role or a separate "About the firm". But we have limited headings; we could incorporate into About the role paragraph. - "We believe it’s important to balance work with everyday life – and make time for enjoyment and fun." Could be part of Benefits or About the role. - "We invest in a robust Total Rewards package that includes everything from generous PTO, a flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, and even paid time off for employees to volunteer." Already in Benefits. - "Your Role. Join CohnReznick’s Affordable Housing Audit Practice as a Senior Associate. You’ll lead audit engagements, mentor junior staff, and deliver exceptional client service while contributing to firm growth and operational excellence." Could be part of About the role or Responsibilities intro. We could add a paragraph before responsibilities. - "Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To" list. - "Your Experience." list. - "In addition, please take a moment to review our Universal Job Standards." That's boilerplate? Might be considered application instruction? It's encouraging to apply if not meet all qualifications. Could be part of Qualifications? It's more about encouraging applications. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's about encouraging to apply. The instruction says remove application instructions. This is encouraging to apply, maybe considered application instruction. Safer to drop it. - "Studies have shown that we are less likely to apply to jobs unless we meet every single qualification. At CohnReznick, we are dedicated to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we still encourage you to apply." This is also encouraging application; could be considered boilerplate. Might drop. - "To learn more about life at CohnReznick, visit Life at CohnReznick." That's application instruction/link; drop. - "In Maryland, the salary range for an Assurance Senior Associate is $80,000 to $120,000." Already captured. - "Actual compensation within the range will be dependent upon the individual's skills, experience, qualifications and location, and applicable employment laws." Already captured. - "Salary is one component of the CohnReznick total rewards package, which includes a discretionary performance bonus, generous paid time off, expanded and inclusive parental benefits, to name a few." Already in Benefits. - "To learn more about life at CohnReznick, visit Life at Life at CohnReznick" duplicate; drop. - The rest about brand name, alternative practice structure, etc. That's boilerplate/legal; drop. - EEO statements; drop. - Accommodation email; drop. - Third-party recruiter statement; drop. Thus we have kept substantive content. Now we need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive details like "CPA or CPA eligibility", "3+ years of assurance experience, preferably in affordable housing or real estate.", "Strong technical, analytical, and communication skills.", "Proven ability to lead engagements and develop others.", "Knowledge of audit software Caseware a plus". Also "Advanced Excel proficiency to enhance accuracy and efficiency" is under responsibilities list? Actually it's at end of responsibilities list: "Apply advanced Excel proficiency to enhance accuracy and efficiency". That's a responsibility, not a skill. But we could treat as skill. However responsibilities list includes that line. Let's check original responsibilities list: "Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To Manage multiple audit projects and monitor success metrics.Communicate effectively with clients, leadership, and global team members.Ensure compliance with firm standards and promote security awareness.Apply advanced technical knowledge and stay current with industry trends.Deliver high-quality work and oversee risk management.Mentor junior staff and support their development.Identify business opportunities and support cross-selling efforts.Model world-class client service and executive presence.Engage in firm initiatives and promote a culture of inclusion and agility.Apply advanced Excel proficiency to enhance accuracy and efficiency" Thus each bullet is a responsibility. So we should include "Apply advanced Excel proficiency to enhance accuracy and efficiency" as a responsibility bullet, not a skill. So we should not create a separate Skills section unless we have other skill-specific content not covered elsewhere. The only skill mention is "Strong technical, analytical, and communication skills." which is under qualifications. So we could have a Skills section maybe not needed. The instruction says prefer a few
