Controller

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also must not include sections like Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting mentions "ESC offers a competitive compensation package that includes premium health, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with company match, life insurance, short- and long-term disability coverage, and more. We also prioritize work-life balance..." This is benefits info. So we can include a Benefits section. Pay? Not specific numbers, just "competitive compensation package". The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits, but not specific pay amount. So we can include Benefits but not Pay. Schedule? Not mentioned. So no Schedule. We need sections: About the role? Could be intro paragraph. Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: qualifications. Skills? Could be part of qualifications. But we can combine. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose headings that have content. We'll include About the role (intro), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine qualifications), Benefits. Possibly Skills separate if there is distinct content: they mention Strong Microsoft Excel skills, organizational, analytical, problem-solving, communication, discretion. Could be Skills section. But we can also include them under Requirements. To avoid many thin sections, prefer few substantive sections. We could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (includes required and preferred), Benefits. That seems enough. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. Must include all responsibilities, qualifications, etc. Must not drop details like specific contract types, etc. Must keep them. We need to format lists with

• . For prose use

  . Must not include duplicated lines. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, pay transparency nondiscrimination provision, NO THIRD PARTIES, etc. Also remove "PAY TRANSPARENCY NONDISCRIMINATION PROVISION" etc. Also remove "Ideal Candidate" maybe? It's substantive but could be part of About the role? It describes ideal candidate; we could incorporate into About the role or Qualifications. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can rephrase? Not allowed to invent or summarize away detail, but we can condense? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That suggests we should not omit details, but we can combine? Summarizing away detail might be considered removing detail. Safer to keep details as is, maybe as separate paragraphs. However we can keep them as is but under appropriate headings. We need to avoid creating sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Let's extract content: Intro: "Eiden Systems Consulting (ESC) is seeking an experienced, hands-on Controller to oversee the company’s accounting and financial operations. ESC is a growing small business with approximately 40 employees supporting federal government customers and prime contractors. This is a working Controller position for someone who is comfortable managing the full accounting function while also performing detailed day-to-day accounting, payroll, billing, financial reporting, cash management, and government-contract accounting." Then "Costpoint 8.2 Experience Required Direct, hands-on experience using Deltek Costpoint 8.2 is required. Candidates without direct Costpoint 8.2 experience will not be considered. The Controller will serve as ESC’s primary Costpoint user and business-process owner, working directly in Costpoint 8.2 for accounting, billing, payroll, project setup, reporting, and period-end activities." Then "Key Responsibilities" with subheadings: Accounting & Financial Operations, Government Contract Accounting & Billing, Payroll, Financial Planning & Reporting, Costpoint 8.2 Administration & Process Improvement. Under each there are bullet-like sentences. We need to turn those into

  • . Probably each bullet is a sentence. We'll combine them under a single Responsibilities section with nested lists? Simpler: one
    with each responsibility as
    • . Could be long but okay. Then "Required Qualifications" list: Bachelor’s degree..., 7+ years..., Direct hands-on experience..., Experience personally performing..., Government-contract accounting experience..., Experience with cost-reimbursement..., Strong understanding..., Experience with indirect-rate structures..., Experience monitoring contract funding..., Experience supporting DCAA..., Hands-on experience with AP, AR..., Experience with multistate payroll..., Strong Microsoft Excel skills..., Excellent organizational..., Ability to work independently..., Ability to communicate..., High level of discretion... Then "Preferred Qualifications": list items. Then "Ideal Candidate": paragraph. Then "Why ESC?" paragraph about mission, collaborative team, etc. Then "ESC offers a competitive compensation package that includes premium health, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with company match, life insurance, short- and long-term disability coverage, and more. We also prioritize work-life balance, supporting our team in maintaining a healthy blend of professional and personal well-being." Then the boilerplate about PAY TRANSPARENCY NONDISCRIMINATION PROVISION etc which we must remove. Thus final HTML: sections: About the role (intro + Costpoint 8.2 Experience Required + maybe Ideal Candidate?), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe combine required and preferred?), Benefits. But we must not lose Ideal Candidate content. Could include under About the role or Qualifications. Since it's descriptive of ideal candidate, we could put under About the role after intro. That preserves. We must not create sections with headings that have no content. So we will have:

      About the role

      ... intro ...

      ... Costpoint 8.2 Experience Required ...

      ... Ideal Candidate ...

      Then

      Responsibilities

      • ... each bullet ...
      Then

      Qualifications

      We could split into Required and Preferred as subheadings? But only allowed headings from list; we could use

      Required Qualifications

      and

      Preferred Qualifications

      . Those are allowed headings (they are in the list? The list includes Qualifications, Skills, etc. Not exactly Required Qualifications but we can still use

      Required Qualifications

      as a heading; the instruction says use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive. Likely we can use any heading but better to stick to those examples. Using "Required Qualifications" is a variation of Qualifications; still okay. But to be safe, we could have one

      Qualifications

      and inside have two

      paragraphs: one for required, one for preferred. That preserves info. Then

      Benefits

      ... benefits paragraph ...

      We must not include Pay or Schedule. Now ensure we preserve all substantive details: need to include each bullet from responsibilities exactly.
