Renewable Energy Client Accounting - Manager
or drop it. We need to preserve all substantive information; remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's identify sections: - About the role: Could be the introductory description: "As CohnReznick grows... We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Manager to join the Renewable Energy team in our Client Accounting Advisory practice." Also description of hybrid firm, remote position, etc. Also "YOUR TEAM." and "WHY COHNREZNICK?" maybe part of About the role or separate sections? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings. We have: - Responsibilities: The "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To" list. - Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The "Your Experience." section lists qualifications, experience, skills. Could split into Requirements (education, experience) and Skills (technical). But we can combine if needed. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (including experience and skills), Benefits (if any). Pay and Schedule only if stated. Check for Pay: Not mentioned. Schedule: mentions hybrid/remote, but not specific schedule. It says "CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices. This position is considered remote which means it does not require job duties be performed within proximity of a CohnReznick office location. However, as a remote employee, you may be required to be present at a CohnReznick office with scheduled notice for client work, team meetings, or trainings." That's schedule info? It's about remote/hybrid but not explicit schedule like full-time, hours. Might be considered schedule? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state remote/hybrid nature, which could be considered schedule? But "Schedule" heading likely expects something like "Full-time, 40 hours per week" etc. Not present. Safer to omit Schedule. Benefits: The "WHY COHNREZNICK?" section mentions Total Rewards package: generous PTO, flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, paid time off for volunteering. That's benefits. So we can include Benefits section. Also there is mention of "Total Rewards package". So Benefits section appropriate. Now we need to strip boilerplate: EEO statements, accommodation, unsolicited resumes, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information: So we need to keep the description about the firm, team, role, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics like list of responsibilities, qualifications, skills, etc. We need to format with
for each section heading, then content:
for prose,
- for lists.
We must not include / or markdown fences.
Let's extract content.
First, About the role: Could combine the introductory paragraphs up to "YOUR TEAM."? Actually "YOUR TEAM." is a subheading but we can incorporate into About the role.
Let's gather:
Intro: "As CohnReznick grows, so do our career opportunities. As one of the nation’s top professional services firms, CohnReznick creates rewarding careers in advisory, assurance, and tax with team members who value innovation and collaboration in everything they do! CohnReznick helps organizations optimize performance, manage risk, and maximize value through CohnReznick LLP (assurance services) and CohnReznick Advisory LLC (advisory and tax services). Together, the firm provides leaders with deep industry knowledge and relationships, solutions to address clients’ unique business goals and risks, and insight on how emerging market forces can drive opportunity. With offices nationwide, the firm serves organizations around the world as an independent member of Nexia. We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Manager to join the Renewable Energy team in our Client Accounting Advisory practice. CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices. This position is considered remote which means it does not require job duties be performed within proximity of a CohnReznick office location. However, as a remote employee, you may be required to be present at a CohnReznick office with scheduled notice for client work, team meetings, or trainings."
Then "YOUR TEAM. The Client Accounting Advisory Team is a rapidly growing division of CohnReznick, where we partner with our clients to perform accounting, advisory and technology services. Our goal is to leverage the best staff, cutting edge technology, and efficient processes to exceed our clients’ expectations. Our services include maintaining of books and records, financial statement close management reporting, assistance with state and local tax filings, virtual controller/CFO services, as well as accounting technology solution development."
Then "WHY COHNREZNICK? At CohnReznick, we’re united by a common mission to create opportunity, value, and trust for our clients, our people, and our communities. Whether it’s working alongside your peers to solve a client challenge, or volunteering together at the local food bank, there are so many ways to find your “why” at the firm. We believe it’s important to balance work with everyday life – and make time for enjoyment and fun. We invest in a robust Total Rewards package that includes everything from generous PTO, a flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, and even paid time off for employees to volunteer."
That's benefits.
Now Responsibilities: list after "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To". Then bullet list.
We need to capture each responsibility line.
Let's extract them:
- Support the Renewable Energy accounting team.
- Responsible for client execution and timely delivery of client’s work product
- Demonstrates ability to independently perform accounting services for client, including but not limited to timely complete duties associated with managing teams.
- Ensuring team is meeting goals and benchmarks for performance and execution of client work, such as delivering monthly financials, developing skills for career growth, working within budget and time parameters, etc.
- Performs thorough self-review of all work prior to submission for final review

- Positively represents and actively promotes the Firm
- Participates in mentoring, recruiting, retention and team-building activities directly related to job responsibilities
- Proactively seeks knowledge, new tasks, and responsibilities
- Follows regulations and professional ethics of the AICPA and the state society
Now Qualifications/Experience: "Your Experience. The successful candidate will have:" then list.
Let's extract:
- Bachelors Degree, CPA preferred but not required
- Experience leading CAS/CAAS engagements in a public accounting firm
- Proven ability to drive and lead month-end close processes, including ownership of deadlines, reviews of and accuracy of work performed by other team members, corporate accounting processes and procedures such as cash management, AR/AP, payroll and benefits.

- Minimum Intermediate proficiency in Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUP, SUMIFS, etc.)

- Strong project and time management skills
- Accuracy and attention to detail.
- Action-oriented (self-starter, team player, detail-oriented).
- Aptitude for numbers and quantitative skills.
- Must be able to handle multiple priorities and effectively meet critical deadlines
- Significant knowledge of accounting and finance processes and functions.
- Strong understanding of financial statement preparation and analysis
Then after that there is a paragraph about Universal Job Standards and encouragement to apply, plus EEO etc. That's boilerplate to remove.
Also there is a description of the firm structure (CohnReznick LLP etc.) and equal opportunity employer statement. Remove.
Thus we have sections: About the role (intro + team + why?), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe combine experience and skills), Benefits.
We could also have Skills section separate but we can combine into Qualifications.
But the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits.
We need to ensure we don't include empty sections.
Now we need to output HTML.
Let's craft:
