We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present. No job title heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. Include sections only if real content.
We have description: "The Senior Staff Accountant co-owns Powerhouse's general ledger..." That's description paragraph. Then "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" with bullet-like sentences. Then "Tax compliance" etc. Then "Systems and process improvement". Then "Requirements" with subheadings: "What success looks like in the first 90 days", "Minimum Qualifications", "Technical Skills". Then "Work Environment And Physical Requirements". Then disclaimer (boilerplate) to remove.
We need to format: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map headings accordingly.
We have sections: Description (maybe "About the role"? Not given but we can use "About the role" as heading for description). Then "Responsibilities" for Essential Duties And Responsibilities. Then "Tax compliance" maybe part of responsibilities? Could be separate section but we can include under Responsibilities? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We have content for Tax compliance, Systems and process improvement, Requirements (with subparts). Could make separate sections: "Tax Compliance", "Systems and Process Improvement", "Requirements". Under Requirements we could have subheadings? Not allowed? Only h3 for section headings; we could still have nested? Probably not needed; we can keep Requirements as a section with paragraphs and lists.
We also have "Minimum Qualifications", "Technical Skills", "What success looks like in the first 90 days". Those could be sub-sections under Requirements but we could also make them separate sections if they have content. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine them under Requirements with subheadings using

Let's decide: We'll have sections:
- About the role (description)
- Responsibilities (includes close and general ledger, tax compliance, systems and process improvement)
- Requirements (includes first 90 days goals, minimum qualifications, technical skills)
- Work Environment And Physical Requirements
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to turn duties into list items.
We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like specific tasks.
We'll need to parse the description and produce list items.
Let's extract duties:
From "Essential Duties And Responsibilities":
- Co-own the month-end and year-end close calendar with the other Senior Staff Accountant: split the close checklist between you, prepare, review and post each other's journal entries, and deliver internal financial statements on schedule.
- Reconcile bank, credit card, intercompany and all balance sheet accounts monthly, with documented support and cleared reconciling items.
- Analyze results and trends against budget and prior periods; identify, explain and resolve variances.
- Supervise a Staff Accountant: set priorities, assign and review close checklist items, coach and develop them.
- Support the budget and forecast cycles with clean historical data and variance analysis.
- Prepare and review the monthly work-in-progress schedule and job cost reconciliations; book over/under billing adjustments and retainage.
- Maintain fixed asset records, depreciation and prepaid schedules.

Tax compliance section:
- Work with the Sales Tax Manager and review the preparation and filing of sales and use tax (third-party filer), personal property tax, business and occupation tax, and payroll tax (third-party filer).
- Ensure the multi-state sales tax matrix by state and work type stays current and that gross receipts reporting and exemption and resale certificate support reach operations on time.
- Review monthly tax accruals and tax account reconciliations; assist with federal and state income and franchise tax support documents.
- Lead responses to state sales and property tax audits and support the annual financial audit with schedules and documentation.
Systems and process improvement:
- Partner with the Finance Systems Manager, who owns Microsoft Dynamics GP and the migration to Dynamics 365 Business Central, as the accounting voice on that project: chart of accounts input, data validation, testing and reconciliation of opening balances.
- Build and maintain accounting reporting from GP and SQL data (queries, SmartLists, Excel models) in coordination with the Finance Systems Manager.
- Document accounting procedures and drive automation, efficiency and control improvements.
Requirements:

Minimum Qualifications:
- Active CPA license required.

- Strong working knowledge of GAAP and multi-state sales and use tax.
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or a related field.
- Proven ability to work independently, manage competing deadlines and deliver accurate work without close supervision.

- Advanced Excel: pivot tables, lookups, structured tables, Power Query.
- Strong analytical, documentation and communication skills; comfortable explaining results to non-finance leaders.
