Options Accounting Associate

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only when real content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. From posting: - Company Overview (maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be role description. We'll treat "About the role" as role description (the Role Description). We'll include that. - Responsibilities: The role description includes bullet-like sentences: Month-End Close Activities, Reconciliations, Journal Entry Preparation, Supporting Reports, Other Key Procedures. Those are duties. So we can put under

Responsibilities

with

• each. - Requirements: maybe "Skills, Experience, Qualifications And Knowledge Required" includes experience, degree, etc. Could be split into Requirements and Qualifications and Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine into one section "Requirements" containing all. Or separate Qualifications and Skills if content enough. We have: 4+ years experience, Bachelor's degree, Strong accounting technical skills, Experience with Options products required, Ability to research US GAAP independently, Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, Organized and able to manage multiple projects and deadlines, Excellent analytics, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, Advanced in MS Office particularly in Excel, Data Visualization tools are a plus, Nomura Leadership Behaviours (list). That's a mix of qualifications, skills, and leadership behaviours. We could have sections: Requirements (experience, education), Skills (technical skills, leadership behaviours). But we need to avoid filler. Let's decide: Use

  Requirements

  for experience and education.

  Skills

  for technical skills and leadership behaviours. That seems reasonable. - Benefits: The posting mentions total compensation package may include sign-on bonus, RSU, discretionary awards, full range of medical, financial, other benefits (including 401(k) eligibility and various paid time off benefits). Also mentions Aon’s Benefit Index®, Nomura’s benefits rank #1 amongst competitors. So we have benefits info. So we can include

  Benefits

  with list. - Pay: The posting says pay range $80K-$100K/year. Also note base pay may vary etc. So we have pay info. So include

  Pay

  with that range. - Schedule: No explicit schedule info. Not present. So omit. - About the role: Could be company overview and department overview? Actually "About the role" maybe role description. We already used Responsibilities for duties. Could also include a brief overview paragraph under About the role (company overview, department overview). But we already used Responsibilities for duties. The instructions: Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which headings to include based on content. We have content for About the role (maybe company overview and department overview). We have Responsibilities (duties). We have Requirements (experience/education). We have Skills (technical skills/leadership). We have Benefits. We have Pay. We'll omit Qualifications if we covered under Requirements/Skills. But we could also have Qualifications separate (education, experience). However we already have Requirements for experience/education; Skills for technical skills. Qualifications could be redundant. Better to follow typical pattern: Requirements = experience/education; Skills = technical skills; Qualifications maybe not needed. We'll omit Qualifications. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Now we need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove duplicated lines. Also remove cookie/navigation etc. We need to extract substantive content: Company Overview: "Nomura is a financial services group with an integrated global network. By connecting markets East & West, we service the needs of individuals, institutions, corporates and governments through our four business divisions: Wealth Management, Investment Management, Wholesale (Global Markets and Investment Banking) and Banking. Driven by the insights of some 28,000 people worldwide, we put our clients at the center of everything we do, delivering unparalleled access to, from and within Asia. For further information about Nomura, visit www.nomura.com Aon’s Benefit Index®, Nomura’s benefits rank #1 amongst our competitors" Department Overview: "Nomura's Finance department manages the company's financial operations and provides financial guidance to support business decision-making. The team collaborates with senior leadership, business units, and stakeholders to develop effective financial strategies, providing guidance on financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and analysis to align financial operations with business objectives. Nomura's Finance team specializes in financial reporting, accounting, tax, treasury, and capital management, known for providing exceptional service to clients. With a strong track record and commitment to innovation and global reach, Nomura's Finance department is well-positioned to continue driving growth and success in the financial industry." Role Description: list of duties. We need to combine About the role: maybe include company overview and department overview as a paragraph(s). We'll keep them as

  elements. Responsibilities: list each duty as

  . Duties from Role Description: - Month-End Close Activities: Downloading and verifying bank statements, reconciling exchange accruals, managing exchange daily files, and updating payment-for-order-flow (PFOF) accruals. - Reconciliations: Reconciling billing system data with exchange invoices, daily and monthly exchange data, and PFOF actuals across multiple counterparties. - Journal Entry Preparation: Preparing and booking journal entries for accruals, actuals, connectivity fees, and other charges, ensuring compliance with accounting standards and Peoplesoft uploads. - Supporting Reports: Preparing, refreshing, and e-mailing preliminary and final reporting files (P&L, tiers, AOS/Precision, and client billing). - Other Key Procedures: Refreshing kickout files, updating OCC files, uploading rules to billing system, reconciling unclaimed wires, and ensuring alignment with exchange fee schedules and updates. We need to preserve the bullet-like content. We'll put each as

  with the text. Requirements: experience and education. - 4+ years of experience in Financial Services organization in an Accounting role - Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance from accredited college/university Also maybe "US FINANCE ONLY** Applicants f or this position in the Finance Division of NHA must be currently authorized to work f or any employer in the United States. The Finance Division is not sponsoring or taking over sponsorship of employment visas f or this posit ion at this time". That's a requirement (work authorization). Should we include? It's substantive. It's not boilerplate? It's a requirement about work authorization. Probably include under Requirements. Also note "base pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors..." that's more about pay, not requirement. Thus Requirements list: 4+ years experience, Bachelor's degree, authorized to work in US (no sponsorship). We'll include. Skills: technical skills and leadership behaviours. Technical skills list: - Strong accounting technical skills - Experience with Options products is required - Ability to research US GAAP independently - Excellent communication and interpersonal skills - Organized and able to manage multiple projects and deadlines - Excellent analytics, critical thinking and problem-solving skills - Advanced in MS Office particularly in Excel - Data Visualization tools are a plus Leadership behaviours (Nomura Leadership Behaviours) list: - Explore Insights & Vision: Identify the underlying causes of problems faced by you or your team and define a clear vision and direction for the future. - Making Strategic Decisions: Evaluate all the options for resolving the problems and effectively prioritize actions or recommendations. - Inspire Entrepreneurship in People: Inspire team members through effective communication of ideas and motivate them to actively enhance productivity. - Elevate Organizational Capability: Engage proactively in professional development and enhance team productivity through the promotion of knowledge sharing. - Inclusion: Foster a culture of inclusion and psychological safety in the workplace and cultivate a "Risk Culture" (Challenge, Escalate and Respect). We'll include these as

  under Skills. Benefits: from posting: - Aon’s Benefit Index®, Nomura’s benefits rank #1 amongst our competitors - total compensation package may also include other elements, including a sign-on bonus, restricted stock units, and discretionary awards in addition to a full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits (including 401(k) eligibility and various paid time off benefits, such as vacation, sick time, and parental leave) - Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer of employment. We'll list as

  . Pay: "The pay range for this position at commencement of employment is expected to be between $80K and $100K/year* (see below footnote for additional compensation and benefits information)." Also note base pay may vary etc. We'll include the range and note that base pay may vary depending on factors. We'll keep as

  . We must not include footnote or speculative. We'll just state the range. Now produce HTML fragment:
