Manager, Transaction Strategy (Finance)
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Remove duplicated lines. The responsibilities list has duplicated lines: "Assist with selling and delivering client engagements for corporate and private equity clients with significant transactions including acquisitions and divestitures with operational focus on the finance & accounting function" appears twice. Also "Assist with selling, and delivering client engagements for corporate and private equity groups with significant transactions including acquisitions and divestitures with operational focus on the finance & accounting function" similar. We need to deduplicate but preserve all substantive info; we can combine similar points but not lose info. Probably we can list unique responsibilities.
Let's extract responsibilities:
- Assist with selling and delivering client engagements for corporate and private equity clients with significant transactions including acquisitions and divestitures with operational focus on the finance & accounting function
- Work with KPMG's M&A Services teams on F&A engagements and/or work streams, focusing on full range of finance and accounting activities at the clients
- Work with KPMG teams including financial due diligence, accounting advisory services, transaction tax, management consulting financial management, enterprise system, risk consulting and treasury services
- Assist with selling, and delivering client engagements for corporate and private equity groups with significant transactions including acquisitions and divestitures with operational focus on the finance & accounting function (duplicate)
- (maybe also) Work with KPMG teams including financial due diligence, accounting advisory services, transaction tax, management consulting financial management, enterprise system, risk consulting and treasury services (already)
- (maybe also) Assist with selling and delivering client engagements for corporate and private equity clients ... (duplicate)
Also maybe "Work with KPMGs M&A Services teams on F&A engagements and/or work streams, focusing on full range of finance and accounting activities at the clients" (already)
Thus unique responsibilities:
1. Assist with selling and delivering client engagements for corporate and private equity clients with significant transactions including acquisitions and divestitures with operational focus on the finance & accounting function.
2. Work with KPMG's M&A Services teams on F&A engagements and/or work streams, focusing on the full range of finance and accounting activities at the client.
3. Collaborate with KPMG teams including financial due diligence, accounting advisory services, transaction tax, management consulting (financial management), enterprise systems, risk consulting, and treasury services.
We could also include "Assist with selling and delivering client engagements for corporate and private equity groups..." but it's same as #1.
Now qualifications:
List:
- Minimum of five years of experience providing accounting and management consulting services to corporate and/or private equity clients as part of a major consulting/advisory firm or applicable or minimum of five years financial reporting and consolidations experience with a Fortune 500 organization; experience to include large project management, supporting business development, and developing and maintaining good client relationships at the Finance functional level

We should keep all that.
Benefits paragraph: "In addition, KPMG is proud to offer a comprehensive, competitive benefits package, with options designed to help you make the best decisions for yourself, your family, and your lifestyle. Available benefits are based on eligibility. Our 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 to support your mental health. 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. Additional details about our benefits can be found towards the bottom of our KPMG US Careers site at Benefits & How We Work."
We can turn that into a Benefits section with a
- list of benefits items. However the paragraph includes prose; we can keep prose and also list items. The rule: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So we should extract list items: medical and dental plans, vision coverage, disability and life insurance, 401(k) plans, robust suite of personal well-being benefits to support mental health, Personal Time Off per fiscal year, calendar of holidays, two breaks each year (year end and around July 4th). Also mention that details can be found at Benefits & How We Work (maybe a link but we can keep as prose). We'll keep prose for the link.
Now About the role: The introductory paragraphs before responsibilities: "The KPMG Advisory practice is at the forefront of transformation, offering excellent opportunities for individuals to advance their careers and expertise with KPMG. Looking ahead, we anticipate continued evolution and success within the practice, fostering both personal and professional development, thereby creating new pathways for growth. 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 help our people continue to grow both professionally and personally. If you're 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 Advisory. KPMG is currently seeking a Manager to join our KPMG Strategy practice."
We can put that as About the role section (maybe heading "About the role").
We must not repeat job title as heading; we are not.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.

Additional details about our benefits can be found towards the bottom of our KPMG US Careers site at Benefits & How We Work.
We should also maybe include note about eligibility: "Available benefits are based on eligibility." Could be a before list.
Now ensure we removed boilerplate: EEO, visa sponsorship details? Actually visa sponsorship is part of qualifications (must be authorized to work in US without sponsorship). That's substantive, keep. The EEO paragraph about equal opportunity employer is boilerplate; remove. Also remove "No phone calls or agencies please." etc. Remove "KPMG recruits on a rolling basis." etc. Remove "Los Angeles County applicants: Material job duties ..." that's specific legal; maybe considered boilerplate? It's location-specific but still legal; likely remove as per instruction to remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The Los Angeles County Fair Chance Act is legal; but it's not exactly EEO; still maybe considered legal boilerplate; safer to remove. Also remove "Follow this link to obtain salary ranges by city outside of CA: ..." That's a link but maybe considered metadata; but it's about salary ranges; we are not making Pay section; but we could keep as a
under Benefits? Actually it's about salary ranges; but we are not making Pay section; we could keep as a short
under Benefits or maybe under a separate "Pay transparency" but we decided not to create Pay section. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could fold the salary link into a short
maybe under Benefits or a separate "Pay transparency" but we said not to create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state salary ranges via link; but not actual numbers. Could we include a short
with the link? The rule: "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')". Since we don't have actual salary numbers, we should not create a Pay section. But we could include the link as a minor metadata
somewhere else, maybe under Benefits or at end. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we just drop the link. It's minor metadata; we can drop it.
Thus final HTML.
Let's craft the About the
for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Remove duplicated lines. The responsibilities list has duplicated lines: "Assist with selling and delivering client engagements for corporate and private equity clients with significant transactions including acquisitions and divestitures with operational focus on the finance & accounting function" appears twice.

We need to deduplicate but preserve all substantive info; we can combine similar points but not lose info. Probably we can list unique responsibilities. Let's extract responsibilities: - Assist with selling and delivering client engagements for corporate and private equity clients with significant transactions including acquisitions and divestitures with operational focus on the finance & accounting function - Work with KPMG's M&A Services teams on F&A engagements and/or work streams, focusing on full range of finance and accounting activities at the clients - Work with KPMG teams including financial due diligence, accounting advisory services, transaction tax, management consulting financial management, enterprise system, risk consulting and treasury services - Assist with selling, and delivering client engagements for corporate and private equity groups with significant transactions including acquisitions and divestitures with operational focus on the finance & accounting function (duplicate) - (maybe also) Work with KPMG teams including financial due diligence, accounting advisory services, transaction tax, management consulting financial management, enterprise system, risk consulting and treasury services (already) - (maybe also) Assist with selling and delivering client engagements for corporate and private equity clients ... (duplicate) Also maybe "Work with KPMGs M&A Services teams on F&A engagements and/or work streams, focusing on full range of finance and accounting activities at the clients" (already) Thus unique responsibilities: 1.
