So we should remove the paragraphs about brand name, alternative practice structure, licensed CPA firm, equal opportunity employer, etc. Also remove the contact email for accommodation, unsolicited resumes note, etc. Also remove the "#GD" at end. Thus we keep substantive info: intro, firm description, location/hybrid schedule, team details, why CohnReznick, your role, responsibilities, successful candidate requirements, salary/pay, maybe benefits (learning and development platforms). Also schedule: hybrid, average 3 days a week in office. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. - About the role: could be the intro paragraph describing the internship and firm overview. Could also include "YOUR ROLE" paragraph. - Responsibilities: list bullet points from responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe education, GPA, completed intermediate accounting, credit hours, citizenship, etc. - Qualifications: maybe leadership experience, communication skills, critical thinking, fast-paced, change, Excel/PowerPoint, eager to learn new tech. - Skills: maybe advanced skills in Excel, PowerPoint, eager to learn new technologies (could overlap). But we need to avoid duplication. Could put skills separate. - Benefits: learning and development platforms, maybe performance coach, CR friend, modern office, etc. But those are more about team/environment. However we have a section for Benefits only if posting actually states them. The posting mentions "Performance Coach", "CR Friend", "modern office environment", "access to best-in-class learning and development platforms". Those could be considered benefits. Also "total rewards package". So we can include Benefits section with those items. - Pay: salary $33 per hour. - Schedule: hybrid, expected in office average 3 days a week, end date varies, Winter 2027 (~January-March). Also mention that end date varies by office/team. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So only include sections where we have content. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Audit Winter 2027 Internship". Already not. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We need to use
