Manager, Tax Compliance

We need to output only HTML fragment, using

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also we should not include sections with filler/placeholder text. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Position Summary: Sony Corporation of America is seeking a Manager, Tax Compliance for the Global Tax Office located in New York, NY. This role supports federal and state tax compliance, income tax provision reporting, forecasting, and U.S. international tax matters for Sony Interactive Entertainment and other assigned entities. The Manager, Tax compliance partners with accounting, finance, legal, and tax specialty teams, monitors evolving tax requirements, supports audits and special projects, and drives process improvements across tax provision and compliance operations. This position will be on a Hybrid schedule with 3-4 days per week in the New York City office. Thus we have About the role (position summary). Also schedule info: Hybrid schedule with 3-4 days per week in NYC office. So we can have a Schedule section. Responsibilities: list of duties (multiple bullet points). We'll need to capture them. Qualifications: list of qualifications (minimum 6 years experience, bachelor's degree, CPA/Masters preferred, knowledge, etc). Also maybe Skills: proficiency in Microsoft Office, SAP/BPC, CorpTax compliance software, OneSource Tax Provision, etc. Could separate Skills. Benefits: described in detail. Pay: anticipated annual base salary $140,000 to $155,000, plus annual bonus target 13%. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, disability accommodation, scam warning, Right to Work, E-Verify, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We must not include application instructions (like contact email for accommodation, etc). Also remove "To learn more: www.sony.com/en." maybe not needed but it's not boilerplate? It's a link; but it's not substantive for the job. Might be considered navigation? Probably we can drop it as it's not required. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "To learn more: www.sony.com/en." is maybe navigation; we can drop. Also "Position Summary" heading is not needed as we will use About the role. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce sections:

Maybe Skills separate: but we could incorporate skills into Qualifications or separate. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section, but we have separate headings allowed. However we can keep Qualifications and maybe Skills if there is distinct content. Let's see: Qualifications list includes education, experience, CPA, knowledge, IFRS, detail oriented, analytical, prioritize, proficiency in MS Office, SAP/BPC, knowledge of CorpTax compliance software and OneSource Tax Provision, work authorization. That's a mix of qualifications and skills. Could split: Qualifications (education, experience, certifications) and Skills (technical proficiencies). But we have limited sections; we can keep Qualifications and maybe Skills separate if we have enough content. Benefits: we have a detailed list. Pay: we have salary range and bonus target. Schedule: hybrid schedule. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must ensure we don't include empty sections. Now extract content precisely. About the role: combine position summary sentences. "Sony Corporation of America is seeking a Manager, Tax Compliance for the Global Tax Office located in New York, NY. This role supports federal and state tax compliance, income tax provision reporting, forecasting, and U.S. international tax matters for Sony Interactive Entertainment and other assigned entities. The Manager, Tax compliance partners with accounting, finance, legal, and tax specialty teams, monitors evolving tax requirements, supports audits and special projects, and drives process improvements across tax provision and compliance operations. This position will be on a Hybrid schedule with 3-4 days per week in the New York City office." But schedule info maybe better placed in Schedule section; we could keep schedule mention in About the role or move to Schedule. Since we have a Schedule section, we can mention schedule there and maybe not repeat in About the role. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we can keep schedule info in Schedule section and not duplicate. So About the role can exclude schedule sentence. Thus About the role: "Sony Corporation of America is seeking a Manager, Tax Compliance for the Global Tax Office located in New York, NY. This role supports federal and state tax compliance, income tax provision reporting, forecasting, and U.S. international tax matters for Sony Interactive Entertainment and other assigned entities. The Manager, Tax compliance partners with accounting, finance, legal, and tax specialty teams, monitors evolving tax requirements, supports audits and special projects, and drives process improvements across tax provision and compliance operations." Now Responsibilities: list each bullet from the responsibilities section. Let's extract: - Prepare and review supporting tax return workpapers, tax packages, elections, disclosures, and forms for the federal and state corporate income, partnership, and withholding tax returns for Sony Interactive Entertainment and other assigned entities. - Prepare quarterly and annual income tax provision calculation in accordance with IAS 12; computation of book to tax differences; tracking of deferred taxes inventory; tax account analysis and reconciliations; assist with effective tax rate reconciliation and other analysis of income tax amounts including preparation of tax-related journal entries for Sony Interactive Entertainment Segment and other assigned entities - Prepare tax forecast, budget, and cash flow for Sony Interactive Entertainment Segment - Analyze and support on matters related to US international considerations including foreign-source income, FDII, BEAT, foreign tax credits and withholding taxes - Work closely with the accounting, finance, and legal teams at Sony Interactive Entertainment on tax-related matters - Monitor U.S. tax developments and related international rules impacting US filings, including OECD BEPS/Pillar Two to assess impacts on the business and assist with related reporting requirements - Assist with the research and development calculation for Sony Interactive Entertainment - Assist with consolidated/combined Federal/State filing audits; handling of standalone Federal/State audits - Identify and support process improvement initiatives within the tax provision and compliance operations to enhance efficiency through the implementation of innovative solutions, technology enhancements, and collaboration with other tax specialty groups - Proactively manage and maintain provision and compliance deadlines - Assist in special tax projects as needed - Honesty, trustworthiness and ethical conduct are material requirements for the responsibilities outlined above We should keep the last bullet as part of responsibilities? It's more a requirement but we can keep. Now Qualifications: list: - Minimum of 6 years of progressive experience in corporate tax accounting, compliance, and tax provision preparation, preferably in a large multinational company and/or a public accounting firm - Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Tax, or related field is required - CPA and/or Masters in Tax preferred - Comprehensive knowledge and technical competence in book-to-tax accounting, as well as federal and state income tax concepts applicable to multinational organizations, is essential - Knowledge of IFRS a plus - Detail oriented with strong analytical skills and proven capability to prioritize multiple tasks in a deadline-driven dynamic environment - Must be authorized to work unrestricted within the United States Now Skills: maybe: - Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and working knowledge of SAP/BPC - Knowledge of CorpTax compliance software and OneSource Tax Provision required We could also include "Detail oriented with strong analytical skills..." but that's already in Qualifications. We'll keep that there. Now Benefits: list as per benefits section. We need to capture all benefits items: - Comprehensive medical, prescription drug, dental, and vision coverage with coverage for spouses/domestic partners and child dependents, including access to a Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) - Employee assistance plan and comprehensive behavioral health benefits - Fertility benefits, including surrogacy, and adoption assistance programs - Basic and supplemental life insurance for employees as well as supplemental life insurance coverage for their spouses/domestic partners and children - Voluntary benefits such as group legal, identity theft protection, accident, and hospital indemnity insurance - Short-term & long-term disability plans - Up to 12 weeks of paid parental and caregiver leave - 401(k) Plan with pre-tax, Roth, and after-tax options and company match with immediate vesting - Education assistance and student loan programs - Other Programs: Flexible Work Arrangements, including hybrid work schedules - Time off to include vacation, paid holidays, sick leave, Summer Fridays (early release), and a winter break between Christmas and New Year’s Day (based on business needs) - Referral bonuses (subject to eligibility) - Matching gift program - A wide variety of employee business resource groups (EBRGs) - Special discounts on Sony products, offered exclusively to Sony employees - Employee stock purchase plan (Sony covers commissions and fees for your Sony stock purchases made through after-tax payroll deductions) We should also maybe include "In addition to competitive pay and benefits, we offer an environment and culture that promotes Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We are committed to creating an inclusive employee experience for you to thrive as part of Sony’s purpose to “fill the world with emotion through the power of creativity and technology.”" That's more of a statement; could be included in Benefits or maybe omitted as it's fluff but it's substantive? It's not a benefit per se but it's a statement about culture. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that statement. However it's not a benefit; maybe we can include it in About the role or a separate section? There's no specific heading for culture; we could incorporate into About the role or Benefits. Since we have Benefits section, we could add a paragraph about culture. But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could add a paragraph after benefits list. But we need to avoid boilerplate; this is not boilerplate; it's a company statement. We'll keep it as a

under Benefits maybe after the list. Now Pay: we have: - The anticipated annual base salary for this position is $140,000 to $155,000. - In addition to the annual base salary, this role has an annual bonus target of 13%. - This range does not include any other compensation components or other benefits that an individual may be eligible for. - The actual base salary offered depends on a variety of factors, which may include as applicable, the qualifications of the individual applicant for the position, years of relevant experience, specific and unique skills, level of education attained, certifications or other professional licenses held, and the location in which the applicant lives and/or from which they will be performing the job. We'll put that in Pay section as a
