We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro about KPMG, but we can treat that as About the role? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to decide which sections to include.
Content:
- Intro paragraph about KPMG being great place to work, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About KPMG". The instruction says we can use About the role as a heading. So we can put that intro in
under
About the role
.
- Responsibilities: bullet list of responsibilities. We'll use - .
- Qualifications: bullet list of qualifications. Could be under
Qualifications
.
- Skills? The qualifications include skills like proficiency in software, interpersonal skills, etc. Could be separate Skills section, but we can combine with Qualifications. However instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section.
- Benefits: The posting mentions benefits: "comprehensive, competitive benefits package", "Total Rewards package includes a variety of medical and dental plans, vision coverage, disability and life insurance, 401(k) plans, and a robust suite of personal well-being benefits". Also mentions Personal Time Off, holidays, breaks. That's substantive. So we can include Benefits section.
- Pay: The posting includes California Salary Range: $75240 - $175950 and mention of pay transparency link. That's specific salary range. So we can include Pay section.
- Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's mention of standard work hours, years of service, but not specific schedule. So we should not create Schedule section.
- Requirements: Might be covered under Qualifications. Could have Requirements separate but we can combine.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, visa sponsorship details? The visa sponsorship statement is substantive: "Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship now or in the future; KPMG LLP will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work visa status for this opportunity (no sponsorship is available for H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, F-1, J-1, OPT, CPT or any other employment-based visa)". That's a requirement. Should we include that? It's a requirement about work authorization. Could be placed under Qualifications or Requirements. Since we have Qualifications section, we can add a bullet.
Also the California Fair Chance Act etc is legal boilerplate; we should remove that as per instruction: remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The Fair Chance Act is legal; likely considered boilerplate. We'll drop that.
Also the link to salary ranges by city outside of CA: we can keep as part of Pay section maybe as a link.
We must not include application instructions like "No phone calls or agencies please", "KPMG recruits on a rolling basis", etc. Those are application instructions; remove.
Also remove duplicated lines.
Now construct HTML.
We'll have:

We should ensure no extra boilerplate. Also we removed the line about "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." Already covered.
We also removed the line about "KPMG LLP and its subsidiaries (“KPMG”) complies with all local/state regulations regarding displaying salary ranges." That's somewhat boilerplate but it's about pay transparency; we could keep as part of Pay section? It's somewhat generic but maybe we can keep as a short sentence. However instruction: remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That line is about compliance with local/state regulations regarding displaying salary ranges. Might be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to drop it.
We also removed the line about "KPMG is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. That's EEO boilerplate; drop.
We also removed the line about "The attached link contains further information regarding KPMG's compliance with federal, state and local recruitment and hiring laws." drop.
We also removed the line about "No phone calls or agencies please." drop.
We also removed the line about "KPMG recruits on a rolling basis..." drop.
