We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also remove duplicated lines. We need to parse the job description. Key content: - Intro about CohnReznick: description of firm, services, offices, hybrid work, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the firm". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly. We have sections: - "YOUR TEAM." description of team and work. - "WHY COHNREZNICK?" description of mission, benefits, total rewards. - "YOUR ROLE." then "Responsibilities" bullet list. - "Your Experience." bullet list of qualifications. - Salary range: "In New York, the salary range for Assurance Senior Associates is $85,000 - $140,000." - Also mention hybrid schedule: "our professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week." - Also mention "CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices. 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. 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." Thus we have schedule info. Benefits: "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 later: "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, and access to best-in-class learning and development platforms, to name a few." Thus benefits content. Pay: salary range. Schedule: hybrid, average 3 days a week. Requirements/Qualifications: Bachelor's or Master's in Accounting required; CPA designation required; 3+ years' experience in a public accounting firm required; Financial Services industry experience preferred, but not required; Knowledge of audit software ProSystem Fx a plus; Exceptional organizational, communication and presentation (verbal and written) skills. Skills: maybe same as qualifications? But we can separate: Skills: Exceptional organizational, communication and presentation skills; Knowledge of audit software ProSystem Fx a plus. But we must not create thin sections. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe intro about firm/team), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for the job title. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can combine similar info. We must remove boilerplate: EEO statements, accommodation contact, unsolicited resumes, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. Structure:

About the role

... description of firm, team, hybrid work, etc.

Responsibilities

  • Serving as the engagement lead on specific client accounts, taking responsibility for pre-engagement planning, execution, and final deliverables.
  • Develop detailed engagement work plans, illustrating budgets and schedules.
  • Continue to build a thorough understanding of all audits, tax and consulting services provided by the firm, and actively participate in proposals.
  • In managing a team of staff associates, including interns, you will provide regular performance coaching and feedback, while developing individual technical and industry skills.
  • Effective client management, timely and accurate communication, and clear and concise direction and leadership.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's in Accounting required
  • CPA designation is required
  • 3+ years' experience in a public accounting firm required
  • Financial Services industry experience preferred, but not required
  • Knowledge of audit software ProSystem Fx a plus
  • Exceptional organizational, communication and presentation (verbal and written) skills
Maybe also Skills section: but we already included skills in requirements. Could separate but risk thin. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Skills into one section "Requirements and Skills". But headings list includes Skills separate. However we can decide to include Skills only if there is distinct content not covered elsewhere. The skills listed are essentially same as requirements. Could still include Skills but might be thin. Better to combine into Requirements. But we need to follow instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't mandate we must use all; just examples. So we can choose which to include. Thus we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include Benefits: from WHY COHNREZNICK? and total rewards. Benefits content: generous PTO, flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, paid time off to volunteer, discretionary performance bonus, generous paid time off (maybe duplicate), expanded and inclusive parental benefits, access to best-in-class learning and development platforms. We should preserve all details, not summarize away. But we can combine similar items without losing detail. Eg "generous PTO" appears twice; we can mention once. "generous paid time off" same as PTO. We'll include both maybe but avoid duplication. Let's list benefits: - generous PTO / paid time off - flexible work environment - expanded parental leave (expanded and inclusive parental benefits) - extensive learning & development (access to best-in-class learning and development platforms) - paid time off for employees to volunteer - discretionary performance bonus We'll include all. Pay: salary range $85,000 - $140,000 (New York). Also note salary determination varies based on location, qualifications, experience, skills, competencies. Also mention salary is one component of total rewards. Schedule: hybrid, average 3 days a week in office; professionals expected to be thoughtful and intentional about in-person collaboration; cadence determined at team level. Also mention CohnReznick is hybrid firm, most professionals within commutable distance. We'll include schedule details. Now About the role: Should include description of firm, team, hybrid work, location options (NY, NJ, Boston), Financial Sponsors & Financial Services team, work with private equity, venture capital, hedge, real estate, cannabis, private credit, alternative investment funds, capital markets ecosystem, transaction, fund, portfolio company audit, tax, value creation solutions, collaboration with other industry and service line team members, clients deploy billions, etc. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's craft a paragraph that includes all. Potential duplication: Some content appears in "YOUR TEAM." and earlier intro. We'll combine. Let's draft About the role paragraph:

CohnReznick is one of the nation’s top professional services firms, offering advisory, assurance, and tax services through CohnReznick LLP (assurance) and CohnReznick Advisory LLC (advisory and tax). As an independent member of Nexia, the firm serves organizations worldwide from offices nationwide, including New York, New Jersey, Boston, and other financial centers such as Connecticut, California, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Miami, and more. The Assurance Senior Associate position is hybrid, with professionals expected to be thoughtful and intentional about in‑person collaboration; while the exact cadence is set at the team level, the firm encourages an average of three days per week in the office. As part of the Financial Sponsors & Financial Services team, you will work with leading private equity, venture capital, hedge, real estate, cannabis, private credit, and other alternative investment funds, gaining deep knowledge of the capital markets ecosystem to deliver transaction, fund, and portfolio company audit, tax, and value‑creation solutions. You will collaborate with other CohnReznick industry and service line team members to provide outstanding technical and client service to clients who deploy billions of dollars of capital and expect situation‑tested expertise, industry knowledge, access to market intelligence, and timely responses.

That seems to capture. Now Responsibilities as above. Requirements as above. Benefits as list. Pay as paragraph:

In New York, the salary range for Assurance Senior Associates is $85,000 - $140,000. Salary determination varies based on geographical location, qualifications, experience, skills, and competencies, and is one component of CohnReznick’s total rewards package.

Schedule as paragraph:

The role is hybrid; professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average three days a week, with the exact in‑office cadence determined at the team level. CohnReznick notes that most professionals live within a commutable distance of an office.

We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, unsolicited resumes, etc. Also remove duplicated lines like "CohnReznick is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The intro also mentions "CohnReznick helps organizations optimize performance, manage risk, and maximize value through CohnReznick LLP (assurance services) and CohnReznick Advisory LLC (advisory and tax services). Together, the firm provides leaders with deep industry knowledge and relationships, solutions to address clients’ unique business goals and risks, and insight on how emerging market forces can drive opportunity." We included some of that in About the role but maybe missing "optimize performance, manage risk, maximize value". Let's incorporate. Add to About the role: "CohnReznick helps organizations optimize performance, manage risk, and maximize value..." etc. Let's adjust About the role paragraph to include that. Also mention "With offices nationwide, the firm serves organizations around the world as an independent member of Nexia." Already included. Also mention "We currently have an exciting career opportunity for an Assurance Senior Associate to join our Financial Services team in our New York, New Jersey, or Boston offices." Already implied. Also mention "CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices." Already in schedule. Also mention "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. Also mention "YOUR TEAM. As part of the Financial Sponsors & Financial Services team, you’ll work with some of the nation’s leading private equity, venture capital, hedge, real estate, cannabis, private credit, and other alternative investment funds. You’ll gain valuable knowledge of the capital markets ecosystem and use it to deliver the comprehensive transaction, fund, and portfolio company audit, tax, and value creation solutions. As a result of the unique organizational structure of most private investment funds, you’ll
