We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description, but we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's parse content: - Intro: "As CohnReznick grows, so do our career opportunities..." etc. This is about the firm, maybe "About the role" or "About the firm". Could be "About the role" but it's more about firm. Could be "About the role" as heading. - "YOUR TEAM." This is about team: Government and Public Sector Advisory practice. Could be part of About the role. - "WHY COHNREZNICK?" This is about benefits/culture. Could be Benefits or maybe "Benefits" heading. - "YOUR ROLE." Then "Responsibilities" heading appears in text: "Responsibilities Responsibilities include but not limited to:" Actually they wrote "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities Responsibilities include but not limited to:" So we have responsibilities list. - Then "Your Experience." Then list: BA/BS degree, CPA license or eligible, ability to obtain Secret clearance or higher. Also mention Universal Job Standards etc. That's qualifications/requirements. - Then they talk about salary range: "In Maryland, the salary range for a Advisory Associate is $71,000 to $95,000. 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, generous paid time off, expanded and inclusive parental benefits, to name a few." Thus we have Pay section. - Benefits: they mention generous PTO, flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, paid time off for volunteers. Also discretionary performance bonus etc. So we can have Benefits. - Schedule: they mention hybrid, expected in office average 3 days a week. So we have Schedule. - Skills: maybe not explicit; we could omit if not specific. - Qualifications: we have degree, CPA eligibility, Secret clearance. Could be Qualifications. - Requirements: maybe same as qualifications. But we need to avoid duplication. Could combine. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove those paragraphs. We must preserve all substantive info: need to keep description of firm, team, why CohnReznick, responsibilities, experience, salary, benefits, schedule. We must not invent or summarize away detail. Let's extract substantive paragraphs: Intro paragraph: "As CohnReznick grows, so do our career opportunities. As one of the nation’s top professional services firms, CohnReznick creates rewarding careers in advisory, assurance, and tax with team members who value innovation and collaboration in everything they do! CohnReznick helps organizations optimize performance, manage risk, and maximize value through CohnReznick LLP (assurance services) and CohnReznick Advisory LLC (advisory and tax services). Together, the firm provides leaders with deep industry knowledge and relationships, solutions to address clients’ unique business goals and risks, and insight on how emerging market forces can drive opportunity. With offices nationwide, the firm serves organizations around the world as an independent member of Nexia. We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Federal Staff Auditor to join the team in our Bethesda office. 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." That's a lot; could be split into About the role (firm overview) and Schedule (hybrid). But schedule already covered later. We could have sections: - About the role (firm overview, location, hybrid nature) - Responsibilities (list) - Qualifications (education, CPA eligibility, clearance) - Benefits (PTO, flexible work, parental leave, learning & development, volunteer time, performance bonus) - Pay (salary range) - Schedule (hybrid, expected 3 days in office) We need to ensure we don't repeat info. Let's extract each. About the role: Could combine intro up to "We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Federal Staff Auditor to join the team in our Bethesda office." plus maybe the hybrid description? But schedule separate. Better: About the role: description of firm, role, location. Responsibilities: list bullet points. Qualifications: BA/BS degree in accounting or related discipline; CPA license or eligible to sit for CPA exam; Ability to obtain a Secret clearance or higher. Benefits: generous PTO, flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, paid time off for employees to volunteer, discretionary performance bonus. Pay: salary range $71,000 to $95,000 for Advisory Associate in Maryland; actual compensation dependent on skills, experience, qualifications, location, applicable employment laws; salary is one component of total rewards package which includes discretionary performance bonus, generous paid time off, expanded and inclusive parental benefits. Schedule: hybrid position; professionals encouraged to be in office/together in person on average 3 days a week; cadence determined at team level; thoughtful and intentional in-person collaboration. We also have "YOUR TEAM." description: Government and Public Sector Advisory practice, highly experienced, specialized, passionate about helping government and public sector clients overcome challenges and build stronger communities, positions for driven professionals who share passion to make a difference. Could be part of About the role or a separate section like "Team". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Could incorporate team description into About the role. Also "WHY COHNREZNICK?" includes mission, work-life balance, fun, volunteering, etc. That could be part of Benefits or About the role. Since Benefits already covers PTO etc, we could add mission etc to About the role or maybe a separate "About the role" includes why. We must not create sections with filler. So we will include sections that have real content. Let's craft HTML:

    About the role

    As one of the nation’s top professional services firms, CohnReznick creates rewarding careers in advisory, assurance, and tax with team members who value innovation and collaboration. The firm helps organizations optimize performance, manage risk, and maximize value through CohnReznick LLP (assurance services) and CohnReznick Advisory LLC (advisory and tax services). With offices nationwide, it serves organizations around the world as an independent member of Nexia. This position is for a Federal Staff Auditor in the Bethesda office, supporting the Government and Public Sector Advisory practice, which is highly experienced and specially trained in the operations, processes, regulations, and reporting requirements of public entities. The team is passionate about helping government and public sector clients overcome challenges and build stronger communities.

    • Generous paid time off (PTO)

    • Extensive learning & development opportunities

    Pay

    In Maryland, the salary range for this Advisory Associate position is $71,000 to $95,000. 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 also includes a discretionary performance bonus, generous paid time off, and expanded and inclusive parental benefits.

    Schedule

    This is a hybrid position. Professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average three days a week, with the exact cadence determined at the team level. The firm expects team members to be thoughtful and intentional in creating opportunities for in‑person collaboration.

    Check we didn't repeat job title. No mention of Job ID. Removed boilerplate. All substantive info preserved? We omitted some sentences like "CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices." That's covered in schedule/hybrid. Also omitted "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." That's in schedule. We omitted "Join us for an opportunity to be a part of something greater." That's fluff but maybe substantive? It's a motivational sentence; could be considered filler but not boilerplate. Might be okay to omit? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. That sentence is somewhat generic but still part of posting. Could be considered filler but not explicitly listed as prohibited. Safer to include maybe in About the role paragraph. Add: "Join us for an opportunity to be a part of something greater." Also omitted "At CohnReznick, we’re united by a common mission to create opportunity, value, and trust for our clients, our people, and our communities. Whether it’s working alongside your peers to solve a client challenge, or volunteering together at the local food bank, there are so many ways to find your “why” at the firm. We believe it’s important to balance work with everyday life – and make time for enjoyment and fun." This is substantive about culture; could be included in About the role or Benefits. Since we have Benefits covering PTO etc, we could add a paragraph about mission and culture in About the role. Let's incorporate that into About the role after firm description. Thus About the role paragraph will be longer. Let's rewrite About the role:
