(CW) Senior Accountant- Fixed Assets

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where content exists. The job posting includes sections: Who We Are (company description), then contract info, then role description, responsibilities (What you will own), How you will work across the business, What success looks like, What you bring (Required, Preferred, Capabilities). Also maybe Benefits, Pay, Schedule not present (except contract - one year -Hybrid role - Tuesdays and Thursdays in San Rafael***). That gives schedule info: Hybrid role, Tuesdays and Thursdays in San Rafael. Also contract one year. So we can include a Schedule section with that info. Pay not present, so omit. Benefits not present. Also maybe "About the role" heading? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to these headings. "About the role" could be the description after contract info. Could use "About the role" heading for the paragraph describing role. Then "Responsibilities" for What you will own list. Then "How you will work across the business" maybe could be under Responsibilities or a separate section like "Collaboration" but not in list; we could treat as part of Responsibilities or maybe a separate section "Working Style". But instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine "How you will work across the business" into Responsibilities or maybe a separate "Collaboration" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are examples, not strict? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely we should use those headings where applicable. So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Required and Preferred), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements?), Skills (maybe capabilities), Benefits (none), Pay (none), Schedule (yes). Also maybe "Requirements" for required qualifications, "Preferred" could be under Requirements as well. Could also have "Qualifications" for education etc. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's decide: - About the role: paragraph describing the role (the contract hybrid etc and the summary). - Responsibilities: list of duties (What you will own + How you will work across the business + What success looks like? Actually success looks like is outcome, maybe could be under Responsibilities or separate but we can include as part of Responsibilities. - Requirements: Required qualifications (Bachelor's, 5+ years, etc) plus Preferred (CPA, etc) maybe as sublist. - Skills: Capabilities that will help you thrive (communication, analytical thinking, etc). - Schedule: Contract one year, Hybrid role - Tuesdays and Thursdays in San Rafael. We should not repeat job title. Also we need to preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove "Note: This description is not intended..." etc. Also remove "PASTE JOB POSTING TEXT HERE". Also remove Ireland Safety Responsibility etc (looks like unrelated). Also remove "Equal Opportunity Employer/Veterans/Disabled" etc. Now craft HTML. We need

headings, then content:

for prose,

• for lists. Let's extract content. About the role: The paragraph after contract info: "BioMarin is seeking an experienced Senior Accountant to support the full lifecycle of fixed asset, CAPEX, and selected OPEX accounting. This role combines hands-on accounting ownership with frequent partnership across project teams, budget owners, FP&A, audit, and other business functions. It is well suited for someone who can translate accounting requirements into clear, practical guidance and build productive working relationships across departments. Collaboration is central to this role. You will proactively communicate status, explain accounting conclusions in business-friendly language, ask effective follow-up questions, and keep stakeholders aligned on deadlines, open items, and decisions." Also earlier we have "Contract- one year -Hybrid role - Tuesdays and Thursdays in San Rafael***." That could be part of About the role or Schedule. We'll put schedule separately. Thus About the role paragraph includes the above. Responsibilities: Combine "What you will own" (list), "How you will work across the business" (list), "What success looks like" (list). We'll make a single list maybe with subheadings? But we can just list all items as
• . Ensure we preserve all items. Let's extract What you will own items: - Manage end-to-end fixed asset accounting, including additions, disposals, transfers, impairments, and depreciation. - Maintain the fixed asset subledger and ensure alignment with the general ledger. - Perform monthly close activities, including journal entries, reconciliations, rollforwards, and variance analysis. - Review asset classifications for consistency with US GAAP and company policy. - Coordinate and support internal and external audit requests related to fixed assets. - Partner with project managers to monitor capital project spend and assess capitalization versus expense treatment. - Monitor Asset Under Construction balances and drive timely project closures and asset placements in service. - Assist with depreciation and CAPEX impact forecasting for FP&A and business partners. - Apply capitalization policies consistently and help improve related processes. - Perform monthly OPEX purchase order reviews for commitments, coding, and alignment with budget expectations. - Prepare and analyze OPEX accruals to support complete and accurate period-end expense recognition. - Work with budget owners to investigate variances and communicate clear insights into key drivers and trends. - Monitor open POs and goods or services receipts to assess expense timing and identify cleanup or closure needs. - Support monthly OPEX reporting, including variance commentary for FP&A and business partners. - Maintain strong internal controls over fixed asset and CAPEX processes. - Support SOX documentation, testing, and remediation activities. - Identify opportunities to streamline workflows, strengthen reporting, and improve data integrity. - Contribute to system enhancements or ERP projects affecting fixed asset accounting. How you will work across the business items: - Build trusted relationships with project managers, budget owners, FP&A, audit, and accounting partners. - Communicate accounting requirements and conclusions clearly to both finance and non-finance audiences. - Proactively surface risks, missing information, and timeline concerns before they affect the close or project milestones. - Lead follow-ups with clear ownership and next steps, while maintaining a responsive and service-oriented approach. - Balance technical accuracy with practical execution in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment. What success looks like items: - Accurate, timely fixed asset, CAPEX, and OPEX accounting with well-supported reconciliations and analyses. - Stakeholders understand what is needed, why it matters, who owns the next step, and when it is due. - Capital projects and AUC balances are actively monitored, with issues escalated early and closures progressed timely. - Audit requests and control activities are organized, responsive, and supported by clear documentation. - Processes become more transparent, efficient, and reliable through practical continuous improvement. Now Requirements: Required: - Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. - 5+ years of relevant accounting experience, including 3+ years focused on fixed assets and/or CAPEX. - Strong understanding of US GAAP, including capitalization rules and depreciation methodologies. - Advanced Excel skills and experience working with large data sets. - Experience with a major ERP system such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or a similar platform. - Demonstrated ability to communicate clearly, collaborate across departments, and drive follow-through on open items. Preferred: - CPA or CPA-eligible. - Experience in biotech, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, or another capital-intensive industry. - Familiarity with SOX controls and audit processes. - Experience with project accounting modules or fixed asset subledger systems. We could combine Required and Preferred under Requirements heading, maybe separate subheadings but not needed. Could just list all as items, maybe mark preferred with (Preferred). But we must preserve all info; we can include both. Skills: Capabilities that will help you thrive: - Clear, concise, and audience-aware communication. - Strong analytical thinking and practical problem-solving. - High attention to detail without losing sight of deadlines and business priorities. - Comfort managing multiple workstreams and coordinating follow-ups across teams. - Proactive ownership, sound judgment, curiosity, and a continuous-improvement mindset. Also maybe "It takes a village..." paragraph is fluff; could be omitted as not substantive? It's somewhat generic; maybe we can drop as it's not specific to role. It's more about company culture; but we already have Who Are earlier. Might be considered boilerplate; but it's not EEO. It's describing general admin teams. Could be considered not essential. I'd drop it. Schedule: Contract one year, Hybrid role - Tuesdays and Thursdays in San Rafael. We need to output HTML fragment only. Let's construct:
