Director, Washington National Tax Office - Compensation & Benefits
for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not omit details like specific IRC sections, etc.
We need to parse the description.
Let's extract sections.
First paragraph: Description & Requirements Forvis Mazars Washington National Tax Office (WNTO) unlocks... This is about the role. We'll put in About the role.
Then "As a member of WNTO, you will have the opportunity..." also part of description.
Then "Forvis Mazars WNTO is currently seeking an individual with deep knowledge..." also description.
Then "If you demonstrate an uncommon commitment..." also description.
Then "What You Will Do" list of responsibilities.
Then "Minimum Qualifications" list.
Then "Preferred Qualifications" list.
Then "About Forvis Mazars, LLP" maybe part of About the role? Could be separate but we can include in About the role.
Then "What We Offer" benefits.
Then salary ranges for multiple states.
We need to strip legal notices, EEO, etc.
We must not include duplicated lines.
Let's craft.
About the role: combine paragraphs describing WNTO, mission, opportunity.
Responsibilities: bullet list from "What You Will Do". Items:
- Providing insights and analysis on evolving legislation, guidance and case law to the Firm team and their clients.

(There are stray commas after that line but ignore.)
Skills: Could extract from requirements like strong critical thinking, etc. But we already have those in Requirements. Could create a Skills section for things like "Strong critical thinking and reasoning skills", "Extensive knowledge...", "Uncommon ability...", "Aptitude for identifying...", "Excellent verbal and written communication skills", "Love of continuous learning", "Passion for serving...". However we might avoid duplication. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Skills into Requirements or Qualifications. But we need to include a Skills section only if there is real specific content. We have skill statements; we could put them under Skills. But then Requirements would be just education/experience/licenses. However the Minimum Qualifications already includes skills. Might be okay to keep them in Requirements. The instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. It doesn't forbid overlapping content. But we should not create thin sections. Perhaps better to have: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (includes education, experience, licenses, skills), Preferred Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. That's 6 sections.
We need to ensure we don't include Schedule.
Now Benefits: combine "What We Offer" and benefits list.
What We Offer: "Our robust total rewards program and flexible work environment reflect our commitment to people, careers, and well-being-empowering our team to grow and thrive while delivering exceptional service."
Benefits list: "Benefits are eligibility-based and could include group health plan benefits, 401(K), profit-sharing contributions, flexible time off, and parental leave."
We can combine into a Benefits section with prose and list.
Pay: Provide salary ranges for multiple states. Should we list each state? Yes preserve all substantive info. So we can list:
- Massachusetts: $157,200 – $326,600
- Minnesota: $142,900 – $296,900
- Illinois: $157,200 – $326,600
- Virginia: $171,500 – $356,300
We should format as list.
Now ensure we removed boilerplate: Legal Notice, EEO, etc. Also removed duplicated lines like "Forvis Mazars reserves the right to make changes to the salary range based on business needs." That appears multiple times; we should keep only once? The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we should include that statement only once. It appears after each state block. We'll include a single note: "Forvis Mazars reserves the right to make changes to the salary range based on business needs."
Also remove "Massachusetts Wage Transparency..." etc. We'll keep the salary ranges but drop the preamble sentences? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The preamble sentences like "Pursuant to the Massachusetts' Wage Transparency Act, the salary range displayed is for the Massachusetts market." That is substantive? It explains the range is for that market. Might be considered substantive. However we could keep it as part of the pay section. But we need to avoid duplication. Each state has similar sentence. We could combine: "Salary ranges are provided per state wage transparency laws." But that would be summarizing. Might be considered summarizing away detail. Better to keep each state's specific sentence? But that repeats similar phrasing. The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate identical lines. The sentences are not identical because they reference different state acts. They are similar but not identical. Might be okay to keep each. However they are quite similar; but they differ in state name and act. Not exact duplicates. So we can keep each.
But we also have the line "The salary for this role will be based on the experience, education, and skill set of the individual for the position." That repeats for each state. That is duplicated line. We should keep only once.
Similarly "Positions that are non-exempt will be eligible for overtime pay compensable at a rate of one and a half times the hourly rate for any hours worked over 40 in a work week." Also duplicated.
"Benefits are eligibility-based and could include group health plan benefits, 401(K), profit-sharing contributions, flexible time off, and parental leave." Also duplicated.
"Forvis Mazars reserves the right to make changes to the salary range based on business needs." duplicated.
Thus we need to keep each unique line only once.
Let's extract unique substantive lines:
- Massachusetts Wage Transparency Pursuant to the Massachusetts' Wage Transparency Act, the salary range displayed is for the Massachusetts market.
- Minnesota Wage Transparency Pursuant to the Minnesota's Wage Transparency Act, the salary range displayed is for the Minnesota market.
- Illinois Wage Transparency Pursuant to Illinois' Equal Pay Act, the salary range displayed is for the Illinois market.
- Virginia Wage Transparency Pursuant to Virginia's Equal Pay Law, the salary range displayed is for the Virginia market.
These are not identical; they differ.
- The salary for this role will be based on the experience, education, and skill set of the individual for the position. (duplicate across states) keep once.
- Positions that are non-exempt will be eligible for overtime pay compensable at a rate of one and a half times the hourly rate for any hours worked over 40 in a work week. (duplicate) keep once.
- Benefits are eligibility-based and could include group health plan benefits, 401(K), profit-sharing contributions, flexible time off, and parental leave. (duplicate) keep once.
- Forvis Mazars reserves the right to make changes to the salary range based on business needs. (duplicate) keep once.
Now also we have "MA Minimum Salary (USD) $ 157200 MA Maximum Salary (USD) $ 326600" etc. Those are unique per state.
We also have "MN Minimum Salary (USD) $ 142900 MN Maximum Salary (USD) $ 296900" etc.
IL and VA similarly.
We should present them clearly.
Now also there is a line "For more information on benefits, please visit https://resourcecenter.forvismazars.us/." That's under Illinois section. That's a substantive link; we should keep.
Also there is a line "Forvis Mazars, LLP is an independent member of Forvis Mazars Global, a leading global professional services network. Ranked among the largest public accounting firms in the United States, our 7,000+ team members deliver assurance, tax, and consulting services to clients in all 50 states and internationally. With a legacy spanning more than 100 years, we're building something different. We are guided by a shared promise: Together, we create extraordinary experiences. That means delivering an Unmatched Client Experience® while creating a workplace where relationships matter, learning fuels growth, and every person feels valued and supported to thrive." This is about the firm; we can include in About the role or maybe a separate section but we can incorporate.
Also "What We Offer Our robust total rewards program and flexible work environment reflect our commitment to people, careers, and well-being-empowering our team to grow and thrive while delivering exceptional service. To explore what makes working at Forvis Mazars special, visit www.forvismazars.us/careers." That's benefits.
