Chief Accounting Officer

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job description. Key content: - Intro about firm: "As CohnReznick grows..." etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the firm". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "About the role" heading for introductory paragraph(s). Not repeat job title. - Responsibilities: list bullet points under "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To". Those are responsibilities. - Requirements/Qualifications: "Your Experience." includes required qualifications: CPA required, Big 4 audit training, 12-18+ years experience, etc. Also "In addition, please take a moment to review our Universal Job Standards." That's more about encouraging to apply; not a qualification. Also mention salary range later. - Skills: maybe not separate; but we could embed under Qualifications. - Benefits: 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 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." So we have benefits. - Pay: Salary range: "In New York, the salary range for a Chief Accounting Officer is $278,000 to $350,000." Also mention discretionary performance bonus. - Schedule: hybrid: "CohnReznick is a hybrid firm... expected to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week." So schedule info. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove "Universal Job Standards" encouragement? That's not boilerplate but maybe considered application instructions? It's encouraging to apply; might be considered application instruction. Safer to remove that paragraph. Also remove the brand name explanation, equal opportunity employer, etc. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Structure:

About the role

... intro paragraph(s) ...

Responsibilities

Qualifications

Maybe also

Skills

but we can combine with Qualifications. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (which includes experience, requirements, skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Check each for real specific content. About the role: we have introductory paragraphs describing firm and role. Must preserve all substantive info; we can combine into one

maybe multiple sentences. Responsibilities: list bullet points from "Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To". Need to capture each bullet. Let's extract them: - Financial close and reporting. Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process end to end. Accuracy, speed, and a control environment that holds up to scrutiny from auditors, lenders, and equity investors. - Technical accounting. Serve as the firm's authority on complex and judgment-heavy areas. Revenue recognition, business combinations, partnership/equity accounting, and PE-specific structures. - External audit and compliance. Be the primary relationship owner with external auditors; manage the annual audit to a clean, efficient outcome with no surprises for the CFO or the Board. - Controls and process. Build and continuously improve a control environment appropriate for a PE-backed platform, with an eye toward future transaction readiness (refinancing, add-on M&A, eventual exit). - M&A and integration accounting. Lead purchase accounting, opening balance sheets, and post-close integration for acquisitions. - Team leadership. Recruit, develop, and retain a high-caliber accounting team. - Systems and scalability. Partner with FP&A and IT on ERP and close-automation investments that let the accounting function scale without linearly scaling headcount. - Partner to the CFO. Be a direct, candid, load-bearing counterpart to the CFO on anything requiring technical accounting judgment, audit strategy, or Board/Audit Committee materials. We should keep each as a

. Ensure we keep the detail. Qualifications: from "Your Experience." bullet list: - CPA, required. - Big 4 or top national firm audit training as a foundation — ideally with time spent in a technical accounting or National Office capacity. - 12–18+ years of progressive experience, including prior service as a Controller, CAO, or similar at a PE-backed or PE-sponsor-adjacent organization. - Has run a real close. Can speak fluently about days-to-close reduction, control remediation, and what actually breaks during a fast month-end. - Deep technical fluency in ASC 606, ASC 805 (business combinations), equity/partnership accounting, and the accounting specifics of professional services and partnership-adjacent structures. - Audit committee-ready communicator. Can walk into a Board or Audit Committee meeting and explain a technical accounting position in plain English, defend it under questioning, and know exactly when to flag something proactively versus handle it quietly. - M&A mindset. Has been through multiple acquisitions or add-ons from the accounting side (due diligence, opening balance sheet, first close post-acquisition, integration) - A builder, not just an operator. Has stood up or meaningfully rebuilt a control environment, an ERP migration, or a close-automation initiative, and can point to the before-and-after. - Talent magnet. Has built and retained strong accounting teams before and can attract a strong team - Low ego, high standards. Comfortable being the person who says "no, that's not how we're going to book this" to someone more senior, and does it in a way that builds trust rather than friction. - PE fluency beyond accounting — understands the nuances of PE controlled businesses and their reporting standards (for both equity and debt holders) Also maybe include "In addition, please take a moment to review our Universal Job Standards." but that's not a qualification; we can drop as it's encouraging to apply. Also maybe include "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." That's also encouragement; we can drop. Benefits: from "We believe it’s important to balance work with everyday life – and make time for enjoyment and fun. 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." We can combine into a bullet list. Pay: Salary range: "In New York, the salary range for a Chief Accounting Officer is $278,000 to $350,000. Actual compensation within the range will be dependent upon the individual's skills, experience, qualifications and location, and applicable employment laws. Salary is one component of the CohnReznick total rewards package, which includes a discretionary performance bonus..." We can include that as

maybe. Schedule: hybrid: "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." We can put that as

. Now ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We'll not. We must not include any markdown fences. Now produce HTML. Let's craft:

But note schedule info also appears later; we might duplicate. Better to keep schedule separate. However the About the role paragraph includes schedule mention; we could keep it there but then schedule section would be duplicate. To avoid duplication, we could keep About the role without schedule details, and schedule section separate. But we must preserve all substantive info; we can keep schedule info in schedule section and not repeat in About the role. So we need to edit About the role to exclude schedule specifics. Let's rewrite About the role without schedule mention. About the role: talk about firm growth, role description, hybrid nature maybe mention hybrid but not specifics. But we can keep generic mention that it's hybrid but not detail days. However the schedule specifics are important; we will put them in Schedule section. Thus About the role: include firm description, role opportunity, hybrid nature generic. Let's craft:

Now Responsibilities section as above. Qualifications section as bullet list. Benefits section: bullet list of benefits. Pay section: paragraph with salary range and bonus. Schedule section: paragraph with hybrid expectation 3 days a week. Check for any duplicated content: we have hybrid mention in About the role generic; schedule section specific.
