Comptroller - Tax Auditor I - III Houston West (Katy) Audit Office
- .
- Requirements: There's "Qualifications - External Minimum Qualifications:" with details about education, experience, licenses/certifications. Also "Candidates who meet the minimum requirements..." etc. Also "Salary and the entry level position will be commensurate based on knowledge..." but that's pay info. Also "Important Notes To The Candidate" includes salary contingent, CPA employees lateral transfer, accommodation request, skills demonstration, interview score, background check, etc. Also "MILITARY PREFERENCE" etc. Also "Applications Submitted Through Work In Texas" etc. Also EEO statement (should be removed). Also "Resumes will not be accepted..." etc. Some of that is boilerplate but some is substantive: e.g., "Candidates that applied and were interviewed within the past twelve (12) months, will not be re-interviewed." That's a requirement? Might be considered procedural. We'll keep relevant info: interview score, background check, military preference, supplemental questions via WIT, etc. However we need to avoid EEO boilerplate. The equal opportunity statement is boilerplate; we should remove.
- Skills: Not explicitly listed but could infer from responsibilities: e.g., "dependable, sets and meets deadlines, produces high-quality work", "receptive to constructive feedback", "responsive to inquiries", etc. Might be considered skills. But we should only create Skills section if there is explicit list of skills. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading. However we could extract from responsibilities bullet list some skill-like statements. But instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." If we don't have explicit skills, maybe we omit Skills section.
- Benefits: The posting mentions "We offer flexible scheduling that helps employees maintain a healthy work-life balance." Also "Personal development opportunities are strongly encouraged through available workshops, teambuilding exercises, and on the job training." Also "Travel reimbursement is provided for business needs." Also "All auditors are required to attend yearly audit training, which has been approved by the Texas CPA Association and counts towards Continuing Professional Education Credit for those who are Certified Public Accountants." Also maybe "Teleworking is permitted after the initial six months of training". So we have benefits: flexible scheduling, personal development opportunities, travel reimbursement, continuing education credit, telework after six months. Also maybe "We value our employees". We'll create Benefits section with those.
- Pay: The posting includes salary ranges: "Texas: $5,416.67 - $6,562.50 Tax Auditor I - $5,416.67 Tax Auditor II - $5,958.33 Tax Auditor III - $6,562.50". Also "Salary is contingent upon qualifications." Also "Salary and the entry level position will be commensurate based on knowledge of Texas tax law and tax compliance auditing experience on a case-by-case basis." So we have specific numbers. We'll include Pay section with those numbers.
- Schedule: The posting mentions "In-office work is required for the first six months while you complete Basic Audit Training... Teleworking is permitted after the initial six months of training, per Audit Division's policies." Also "We offer flexible scheduling that helps employees maintain a healthy work-life balance." So we have schedule info. We'll include Schedule section.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings
for each section. Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting that are substantive, not just summary. We need to be careful to not omit any substantive info. Let's extract all substantive content. First, agency info paragraph: "We endeavor to maintain timely communication with all applicants by updating application statuses as promptly as possible. For the most accurate and up-to-date information about your application, please log in to the CAPPS application portal regularly to monitor status changes or updates. Please note that this job posting can be closed without notice and earlier than the closing date indicated in the posting if a suitable candidate is found. We encourage applicants to submit and complete the application promptly. Are you ready to grow, make a positive impact? If you are seeking to gain knowledge, build your career, and network among goal-oriented professionals, this is the place for you! Innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to excellence best describes the culture here at the Comptroller's Office. We take pride in the work we do serving as Texas' accountant, tax collector, treasurer, and much more! The Comptroller's office serves virtually every citizen in the state. As Texas' chief tax collector, accountant, revenue estimator, treasurer and purchasing manager, the agency is responsible for writing the checks and keeping the books for the multi-billion-dollar business of state government. Our agency workforce is as diverse as the people of Texas we serve. We value our employees and take very seriously our collective commitment to public service. Personal development opportunities are strongly encouraged through available workshops, teambuilding exercises, and on the job training. We offer flexible scheduling that helps employees maintain a healthy work-life balance. Click here to see an inside look at the Texas Comptroller's office" We need to keep that but remove any navigation/link text like "Click here to see an inside look at the Texas Comptroller's office" maybe it's a link; but it's still substantive? It's a call to action; maybe we can keep as prose but it's not essential. However instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Click here..." is maybe a navigation link; but it's not clearly boilerplate. Might be considered navigation. Safer to remove it? It's not essential info about job. I'd remove it. Now About The Division: "The Audit Division employs Tax Auditors nationwide. Tax Compliance is the Audit Division's primary focus. We strive to increase tax reporting accuracy and to promote greater voluntary compliance for the state of Texas. As a Tax Auditor for the Comptroller's office, you'll join a bright, forward-thinking agency where a strong work ethic affects and enriches Texans' lives every single day.

All auditors are required to attend yearly audit training, which has been approved by the Texas CPA Association and counts towards Continuing Professional Education Credit for those who are Certified Public Accountants. Candidates who meet the minimum requirements, or who will meet the requirements by the start date, may apply for a Tax Auditor I position. Candidates who have experience in full-time tax auditing with private, state, or other local government agencies may also apply. Salary and the entry level position will be commensurate based on knowledge of Texas tax law and tax compliance auditing experience on a case-by-case basis. Texas: $5,416.67 - $6,562.50 Tax Auditor I - $5,416.67 Tax Auditor II - $5,958.33 Tax Auditor III - $6,562.50" Note: Some of this overlaps with Pay and Schedule etc. We'll need to avoid duplication but preserve all info. We'll split into sections. Now Qualifications - External Minimum Qualifications: "Tax Auditor I Graduation from an accredited college or university with a bachelor's or master's degree in accounting; a finance bachelor's or master's degree in business administration with at least 12 hours in accounting courses; or a bachelor's or master's degree in any other field with a total of 24 semester hours of accounting.
