Financial Planning Analyst - Accounting Officer Principal

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the job posting. First, we have Working Title: Financial Planning Analyst. Not to repeat as heading. We have Job ID etc. We should fold minor metadata into short

or drop. So we can include a short paragraph with location, telework, full-time, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information, but remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. We need to include sections only if there is real content. Let's extract content: - About the role: The paragraph starting "The work you'll do is more than just a job..." up to maybe before "Minimum Qualifications". That's description of role. So we can put that in

About the role

with

containing that description. - Responsibilities: The description includes many duties: provides budget and financial support during biennial budget, capital budget and legislative session including budgets, change items, federal funds summary, grants funding detail, departmental earnings, and fiscal notes development. Develops and maintains DEED accounting structure and works with program areas to develop and enter budget information into SWIFT throughout fiscal year. Assists with development of annual operational budgets for assigned program areas and in generation of financial budget to actual variance reporting and other federal reporting. Provides high-level technical expertise and oversight to program areas for credible and consistent financial management for DEED. This expertise includes cost allocations, knowledge of state and federal financial requirements affecting the program areas, and as a resource for uniform guidance on administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements as it relates to DEED. Also provides financial oversight and information/outcomes about grants/programs, and qualitative/quantitative performance indicators/outcomes. This position will be based out of the St. Paul office. This position is telework eligible. Staff are provided with the tools and equipment to be successful in a virtual work environment. Please note, the telework policy could change with notice based on business needs. This posting may be used to fill multiple positions. We could put responsibilities in a

• list. - Minimum Qualifications: list of qualifications: Three (3) years* of experience in State, Federal, County or City accounting or finance within the last ten (10) years. Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or other closely related field as determined by the agency may substitute one (1) year of experience; master's degree substitutes for eighteen (18) months of experience; PhD substitutes for twenty-four (24) months of experience. Applicants that meet the above minimum qualification will be further evaluated on the following: Experience using a large, complex Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system such as SWIFT or Anaplan. Experience with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and Practices (GAAP) for government. Experience interpreting finance related state and federal laws and regulations. Experience in creating, analyzing, and presenting detailed financial reports, to varied audiences. Skills in communication to interact and build partnerships with all levels of agency management, staff, and customers. Experience with Microsoft Office products such as Word and Excel. We could treat these as Requirements (maybe "Requirements" heading). The posting also has "Preferred Qualifications" and "Additional Requirements". We need to decide sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Pay: Salary Range: $32.97 - $48.60 / hourly; $68,841 - $101,476 / annually. So we can include Pay section. Schedule: Work Shift/Work Hours: Day Shift, 8:00AM to 4:30PM; Days of Work: Monday - Friday. So schedule. Benefits: There's a Benefits section later: "Benefits As an employee, you'll have access to one of the most affordable health insurance plans in Minnesota, along with other benefits to help you and your family be well. Your benefits may include: Paid vacation and sick leave 12 paid holidays each year Low-cost medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug plans Fertility care, including IVF Diabetes care Dental and orthodontic care for adults and children 6 weeks paid leave for parents of newborn or newly adopted children Pension plan that provides income when you retire (after working at least three years) Employer paid life insurance to provide support for your family in the event of death Short-term and long-term disability insurance that can provide income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury Tax-free expense accounts for health, dental, and dependent care Resources that provide support and promote physical, emotional, social, and financial well-being Support to help you reach your career goals: Training, classes, and professional development Federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (Some positions may qualify for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.

We can include Benefits section with list. Qualifications: Could include Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). So we need to decide which sections to include. We have content for: - About the role (description) - Responsibilities (list of duties) - Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications) - Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications) - Skills (maybe communication, Microsoft Office, etc.) But we already have skills in Minimum Qualifications; maybe we can combine. But we should avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But instructions say we can include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have both Minimum and Preferred qualifications; we could put Minimum under "Requirements" and Preferred under "Qualifications". Skills could be extracted from Minimum Qualifications (communication, Microsoft Office) and maybe also from Preferred Qualifications (advanced Excel). Could create a Skills section. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's think: Minimum Qualifications includes experience, education, and then "Applicants that meet the above minimum qualification will be further evaluated on the following:" which includes experience with ERP, GAAP, interpreting laws, creating reports, communication skills, MS Office. Those are basically skills/requirements. So we could treat those as Skills. Preferred Qualifications list: experience with state systems, financial planning, budget development, forecasting, indirect cost plans, high volume fast paced, advanced Excel features. We could put those under "Preferred Qualifications" but we don't have that heading in allowed list; we have Qualifications. So we could put Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications heading. Thus sections: - About the role (description paragraph) - Responsibilities (list of duties) - Requirements (Minimum Qualifications: years experience, degree substitution) - Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications list) - Skills (maybe the "further evaluated on the following" items: ERP, GAAP, interpreting laws, creating reports, communication, MS Office) - Benefits (list) - Pay (salary range) - Schedule (work shift/hours, days) We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have real content. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use

  for headings. Use

  • for lists. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must include all details from the posting that are substantive, but we can condense into lists but must keep the info. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Also remove "Working Title:", "Job Class:", "Principal Agency:", "Job ID:", "Location:", "Telework Eligible:", "Full/Part Time:", "Regular/Temporary:", "Who May Apply:", "Date Posted:", "Closing Date:", "Hiring Agency/Seniority Unit:", "Division/Unit:", "Work Shift/Work Hours:", "Days of Work:", "Travel Required:", "Salary Range:", "Classified Status:", "Bargaining Unit/Union:", "FLSA Status:", "Designated in Connect 700 Program for Applicants with Disabilities:", etc. Those are metadata; we can fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph at top with location, telework, full-time, etc. But we also have schedule and pay sections later; we might not need to duplicate. Better: include a short

    with location and telework eligibility and full-time. Then later schedule and pay sections will have details. But we must preserve all substantive information; location is substantive; telework eligibility; full-time; etc. We'll include them in a short paragraph. Now let's extract the role description paragraph: "The work you'll do is more than just a job. At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities. The Financial Planning Analyst (FPA) provides budget and financial support during biennial budget, capital budget and legislative session including budgets, change items, federal funds summary, grants funding detail, departmental earnings, and fiscal notes development. The position develops and maintains DEED accounting structure and works with program areas to develop and enter budget information into the Statewide Integrated Financial Tool (SWIFT) throughout the fiscal year. The FPA assists with the development of annual operational budgets for assigned program areas and in the generation of financial budget to actual variance reporting and other federal reporting. The FPA provides high-level technical expertise and oversight to the program areas for credible and consistent financial management for DEED. This expertise includes cost allocations, knowledge of state and federal financial requirements affecting the program areas, and as a resource for uniform guidance on administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements as it relates to DEED. This position also provides financial oversight and information/outcomes about grants/programs, and qualitative/quantitative performance indicators/outcomes. This position will be based out of the St. Paul office. This position is telework eligible. Staff are provided with the tools and equipment to be successful in a virtual work environment. Please note, the telework policy could change with notice based on business needs. This posting may be used to fill multiple positions." We can keep that as About the role. Now Responsibilities: Could be same as above but maybe we separate duties into list. However we already included many duties in About the role. To avoid duplication, we could keep About the role as a brief overview, and Responsibilities as a list of specific duties. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can split. Better: About the role: first two sentences about purpose and commitment. Then Responsibilities: list of duties. Let's craft: About the role: "The work you'll do is more than just a job. At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities."
