Senior Advanced Financial Specialist

We need to output HTML fragment only, with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections. First part: "Basic Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business or equivalent combination of education and relevant work experience is required plus a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience; or Master's degree plus a minimum of 6 years of relevant experience Due to the nature of work performed within our facilities, U.S. citizenship is required." That's qualifications/requirements. Could be under "Qualifications" or "Requirements". We'll decide. Then "Responsibilities For This Position ..." includes a lot of prose. Then bullet list: "We encourage you to apply if you have any of these skills or experiences:" then list items. Then "What you’ll experience" list of duties. Then "What sets you apart" list. Then "Our Commitment to You:" includes benefits and schedule info. Then "Workplace Options: ..." includes schedule details. Then "Target salary range: USD $120,000.00/Yr. - USD $130,000.00/Yr." That's pay. Then "This job posting will remain open until the position is filled." That's boilerplate maybe remove. Then "Company Overview ..." maybe could be "About the role" or "About the company". The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role (company overview). Responsibilities. Requirements. Qualifications. Skills. Benefits. Pay. Schedule. We need to decide which content goes where. Let's extract substantive content: - About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph after responsibilities? Actually "Responsibilities For This Position The responsibility is career-defining..." That's more about role. Could be About the role. But we also have Responsibilities section later. Better: Use About the role for company overview/mission. Responsibilities for duties. Requirements for basic qualifications (education, experience, citizenship). Qualifications maybe for preferred qualifications? But we have both basic and preferred similar. Could combine. Skills: list of skills/experience. Benefits: list from "Our Commitment to You:" includes flexible schedules, competitive benefits, 401(k) matching, flex time off, paid parental leave, healthcare benefits, health and wellness programs, employee resource and social groups, etc. Pay: target salary range. Schedule: "Flexible schedules with every other Friday off, if desired, through a 9/80 schedule." Also "Workplace Options: This position is on-site in Manassas VA with the option to flex moving forward. We are / are not offering a relocation package at this time. You will be required to be in the office 3 days per week." That's schedule/location. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title. Not include Job ID. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, navigation, cookie, legal. At end there is "Equal Opportunity Employer / Individuals with Disabilities / Protected Veterans" - remove. Also "Company Overview ..." maybe we keep as About the role. Let's craft sections:

That's from company overview.

Responsibilities

We need to combine the responsibilities paragraphs and the "What you’ll experience" list. Responsibilities paragraph: "The responsibility is career-defining. So is the opportunity. At General Dynamics Mission Systems, we invent the technologies, products and services, that help our nation’s heroes keep our nation safe. The work is so advanced, our teams regularly redefine innovation and excellence for the world. If you’re looking for a challenge, you’ve just found it.

You’ll operate in a gatekeeper capacity to ensure program finance analysts and controllers comply with company policy and procedure, audit requirement, Sarbanes-Oxley, etc. compliance issues. Additionally, this individual will provide consultative, tactical advice to management, based on analysis, to improve outcomes and mitigate losses." Then "What you’ll experience" list: - Lead the development, consolidation, and roll-up of department and cost-pool budgets, capital budgets, strategic business plans, new business funds, and rate-control activities. - Perform month-end close activities and analyze program, department, and cost-pool financial data for budgets, forecasts, pricing, planning, invoicing, and control. - Monitor actual program costs against budgeted costs; investigate variances; and support profitability, cash-flow, and balance-sheet analysis. - Support proposal development, customer negotiations, and fact-finding activities, including pricing-system analysis and rate-application methodologies. - Identifies opportunities to apply AI for continuous improvement and innovation. We'll put these as

• .

  Requirements

  Basic qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business or equivalent combination of education and relevant work experience is required plus a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience; or Master's degree plus a minimum of 6 years of relevant experience. Due to the nature of work performed within our facilities, U.S. citizenship is required. We could also include "We encourage you to apply if you have any of these skills or experiences:" but that's more skills. Maybe Requirements = basic qualifications.

  Qualifications

  Maybe we can include preferred qualifications: Experience with financial planning, forecasting, budgeting, pricing, invoicing, and cost control in a government contracting environment. Knowledge of Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Truth in Negotiations Act requirements, government accounting, and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. Experience with revenue recognition, long-term accounting for government contracts, and Earned Value Management (EVM). Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, as well as Oracle, Hyperion, and Essbase. But those are also skills. Could combine Skills and Qualifications. Better: Use Qualifications for the education/experience (basic) and Skills for the specific technical skills. But we already used Requirements for basic qualifications. Let's think. We have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to avoid duplication. Let's assign: - Requirements: Basic qualifications (education, years, citizenship). - Qualifications: Preferred qualifications (experience with financial planning, CAS/FAR, revenue recognition, EVM, proficiency with tools). - Skills: Maybe the "What sets you apart" list (advanced knowledge of GL Accounting, rates and compliance, cost proposals, AP/AR, fixed assets, travel; experience developing Forward Pricing Rate Proposals; knowledge of corporate financial statement consolidation; experience conducting investment and business-opportunity analyses; experience analyzing complex financial data). That seems like skills. But we also have "We encourage you to apply if you have any of these skills or experiences:" which repeats some of the qualifications. Could merge. Let's decide: Requirements: Basic qualifications (education/experience/citizenship). Qualifications: Preferred qualifications (experience with financial planning, forecasting, budgeting, pricing, invoicing, cost control in gov contracting; knowledge of CAS, FAR, Truth in Negotiations Act, government accounting, Sarbanes-Oxley; experience with revenue recognition, long-term accounting for gov contracts, EVM; proficiency with MS Office, Oracle, Hyperion, Essbase). Skills: Advanced knowledge and experience items (What sets you apart) plus maybe the "Lead the development..." list? Actually that list is responsibilities. We'll keep Skills as the "What sets you apart" list. Benefits: From "Our Commitment to You:" includes flexible schedules (but schedule separate), competitive benefits, 401(k) matching, flex time off, paid parental leave, healthcare benefits, health and wellness programs, employee resource and social groups, etc. Also "Learn more at gdmissionsystems.com/careers/why-work-for-us/benefits." We can include that as a link? Probably just text. Pay: Target salary range. Schedule: Flexible schedules with every other Friday off via 9/80; Workplace Options: on-site in Manassas VA, option to flex moving forward, required to be in office 3 days per week. Also note about relocation package (not offered). We'll include schedule info. Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat same info. Let's craft HTML. We'll need to escape any HTML special characters? Not needed. We'll produce:
