Manager, Economic and Valuation Services (Intangible Assets Valuation)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include About the role if there is real specific content. The intro paragraphs describe the role, culture, etc. That's substantive. So we can have About the role. We should not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Manager". Also no Job ID. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "No phone calls or agencies please." etc. Also remove "KPMG is an equal opportunity employer." etc. Also remove "Los Angeles County applicants: Material job duties..." that's maybe specific to location but it's still part of posting; but it's about criminal history. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a specific legal notice. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is a legal notice about Fair Chance Act. Likely considered legal boilerplate; we should remove it. Also remove the link to salary ranges? That's not boilerplate; it's pay transparency link. But we are not including Pay section, but we could keep the link in About the role? Probably not needed. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The link to salary ranges is substantive? It's a pointer to ranges. Since we are not making Pay section, maybe we can include a short paragraph under About the role referencing that salary ranges are available via link. But that might be considered Pay info. However we are not to create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state that ranges are displayed via URL. That's still pay info but not specific numbers. Might be okay to mention in About the role as a note. But safer to omit? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." If we omit Pay, we lose that info. But maybe it's okay because it's not specific numbers. However they explicitly mention the link; it's part of posting. I'd include a short paragraph under About the role: "Salary ranges are available via the provided link." But that is somewhat thin. Could also include a Pay section with just the link? The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state that salary ranges are displayed via URL. So we could create Pay section with a
containing the link. That would be specific content (the link). That seems acceptable. Let's include Pay section with the link. Similarly, Benefits section we have details. Schedule section we have PTO, holidays, breaks. Now we need to format lists: Responsibilities and Qualifications as
- . Also maybe Skills? Not separate; qualifications include skills. We'll just have Responsibilities and Qualifications.
We need to ensure we don't include headings with filler. So we will have:
About the role
... (combined intro paragraphs)
Responsibilities
- ... ...
Qualifications
- ... ...
Benefits
- Medical and dental plans
- Vision coverage
- Disability and life insurance
- 401(k) plans
- Personal well‑being benefits supporting mental health
Personal Time Off is provided per fiscal year based on job classification, years of service, and standard work hours.
KPMG publishes an annual holiday calendar and provides two additional breaks each year (year‑end and around July 4th) where eligible employees are not required to use PTO.
Schedule
Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year. Additionally, each year KPMG publishes a calendar of holidays to be observed during the year and provides eligible employees two breaks each year where employees will not be required to use Personal Time Off; one is at year end and the other is around the July 4th holiday.
But note we already included PTO details in Benefits; maybe we should avoid duplication. Better to keep Benefits focusing on medical/dental etc, and Schedule focusing on PTO, holidays, breaks. So Benefits: medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, 401(k), personal well‑being benefits. Schedule: PTO, holidays, breaks. Pay section: include link. Let's extract the link: "https://kpmg.com/us/en/how-we-work/pay-transparency.html/?id=M302B_3_26". We'll include as Salary ranges by city (outside of CA). Now we need to clean up the intro paragraphs for About the role. Combine the relevant sentences: "In this ever-changing market environment, our professionals must be adaptable and thrive in a collaborative, team-driven culture. At KPMG, our people are our number one priority. With a wealth of learning and career development opportunities, a world-class training facility and leading market tools, we make sure our people continue to grow both professionally and personally. If you are looking for a firm with a strong team connection where you can be your whole self, have an impact, advance your skills, deepen your experiences, and have the flexibility and access to constantly find new areas of inspiration and expand your capabilities, then consider a career in Valuation. Valuation professionals at KPMG provide clients robust and informed guidance on valuation matters across multiple sectors, deal stages and business needs. We determine fair (market) value of equity shares, assets or complex financial instruments for mergers and acquisitions, financial reporting, tax and other regulatory standards. Our engagements include providing pre and post deal Purchase Price Allocations (PPA), Impairment Testing, employee or management incentive scheme valuations, and recurring fund valuations. As a member of our diverse team, you will help high-profile clients understand, analyze, and respond to complex business opportunities and challenges. You have the opportunity to develop your career through a range of multifaceted engagements, formal training, as well as informal mentoring. At KPMG, we put our culture and values front and center. There is nothing more important than investing in our culture because it is an investment in our people, our future, in who we are, and what we stand for. KPMG is currently seeking a Manager to join our Valuations practice." We should not repeat the job title as heading, but we can mention it in paragraph. That's fine. Now we need to strip out boilerplate: The paragraphs about "KPMG LLP and its affiliates and subsidiaries (“KPMG”) complies with all local/state regulations regarding displaying salary ranges..." we will use for Pay section. The rest about benefits we already captured. The equal opportunity employer lines we remove. The "No phone calls or agencies please." remove. The "KPMG recruits on a rolling basis..." remove (application instructions). The Los Angeles County applicants legal notice remove. The attached link about compliance remove. Also remove "Follow this link to obtain salary ranges by city outside of CA: https://kpmg.com/us/en/how-we-work/pay-transparency.html/?id=M302B_3_26" we already used for Pay. Now craft Responsibilities list: The posting after "Responsibilities:" includes a long sentence with multiple items separated by commas and maybe line breaks. Let's extract each duty: - Manage and deliver business and intangible valuations for mergers and acquisitions, financial reporting, tax, and regulatory compliance, restructuring and reorganization, corporate services and management planning purposes - Design the scope of work for engagements, oversee day-to-day activities, assume responsibility for quality control and accuracy of client deliverables, and effectively manage risk associated with engagements - Build, maintain, and enhance client relationships - Perform reviews of third-party appraisals for audit support purposes - Supervise and mentor staff; provide timely and effective performance feedback and training - Assist in business development efforts and collaborate with other KPMG practices to build cross-functional responsibilities We need to split into separate - items. Ensure we keep all details. Qualifications list: after "Qualifications:" we have a paragraph with multiple items separated by line breaks or semicolons. Let's parse: - Minimum five years of recent financial advisory and valuation experience within a business valuation firm or valuation practice of an audit, tax, and advisory firm with a strong finance and/or accounting background - Bachelor's degree from an accredited college/university in accounting, finance, economics, or business - Licensed ABV, in addition to others on KPMG's approved credential listing; any individual who does not possess at least one of the approved designations/credentials when their employment commences, has one year from their date of hire to obtain at least one of the approved designations/credentials; should you like to see the complete list of currently approved designations/credentials for the hiring practice/service line, your recruiter can provide you with that list - Significant experience with valuations of business entities and intangible assets, purchase price allocations, analyzing goodwill and long-lived asset impairment, supporting a company's value for bidding, or asking price plans, litigation support, and financial analysis and research - Excellent written and verbal communication skills; solid analytical and financial modeling skills; able to work well in a team environment and a commitment to mentoring and developing staff - Demonstrated ability to oversee multiple valuation engagements and manage client relationships - Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based work sponsorship now or in the future; KPMG LLP will not sponsor applicants for U.X. work visa status for this opportunity (no sponsorship is available for H-1, L-1, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B
