Senior Associate, SALT Asset Management ( remote option)

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro paragraph describing KPMG, then "KPMG is currently seeking a Senior Associate to join our State and Local Tax (SALT) practice." That's like about the role. Then Responsibilities list bullet points. Then Qualifications list bullet points. Then Benefits: they mention comprehensive benefits package, list medical/dental, vision, disability, life insurance, 401(k), personal well-being benefits, PTO, holidays, breaks. Also they mention salary range: California Salary Range: $77330 - $157665. Also they mention Pay transparency link but we should not include application instructions. We can include Pay section with the salary range. Also Schedule: they mention standard work hours? Not specific. They mention "Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year." That's more about benefits, not schedule. No explicit schedule like full-time, etc. So we may not include Schedule section unless explicit. Benefits we have details. Pay we have salary range. Also they mention "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." That's generic. We'll include Pay with the salary range. Benefits with list. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove the link to salary ranges by city outside of CA? That's maybe considered application instruction? It's a link for salary ranges; but it's not application instruction. However it's a link; we might keep? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The link to salary ranges is not exactly application instruction, but it's a link for pay transparency. Might be considered legal? It's about pay transparency. Might be okay to keep? But we already have salary range; we could omit the link. Safer to omit. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep the intro paragraph about KPMG culture, network, Ignition Centers, diverse team, etc. That's substantive. We'll put that under About the role (or maybe a generic section like Overview). Use

for section headings. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also "Overview" but we can use About the role. We must not create sections with filler text. Ensure each heading has substantive content. Let's extract substantive content: Intro paragraph: "At KPMG, you can become an integral part of a dynamic team at one of the worlds top tax firms. Enjoy a collaborative, future-forward culture that empowers your success. Work with KPMGs extensive network of specialists; enjoy access to our Ignition Centers, where deep industry knowledge merges with cutting-edge technologies to create innovative tax solutions. Join a diverse team helping high-profile clients understand, analyze, and respond to complex business opportunities and challenges. Develop your career through a range of multifaceted engagements, formal training, and informal mentoring. At KPMG, we believe nothing is more important than investing in our culture because it is an investment in our people, our future, and what we stand for as a firm." Then: "KPMG is currently seeking a Senior Associate to join our State and Local Tax (SALT) practice." Could be part of About the role. Responsibilities bullet list: - Participate in multi-state alternative investment firms (hedge fund, fund to funds, private equity, real estate) with state and local tax issues including compliance, advising, planning, and controversies - Participate in multi-state companies with state and local tax controversies which includes preparing clients for discussions with auditors, representing the client at hearings and appeal meetings, and preparing protests - Work as part of a multi-disciplinary team helping to provide subject matter/alternative investment industry knowledge and experience - Review information presented on state income tax returns before, during and after preparation - Build and manage client relationships, and supervise, mentor, and develop staff - Research and draft technical memoranda regarding income, franchise, and sales and use tax questions Qualifications bullet list: - A minimum of two years of experience performing tax research and preparing state income tax returns for pass-through and corporate entities, performing tax research, providing technical advice on multi-state tax issues - Bachelor's degree, J.D., LL.M. in Taxation, and/or Master's in Taxation (MST) from an accredited college/university - Experience providing services to pass-through entities and a solid knowledge of relevant state tax concepts - Ability to foster relationships both internally as well as with clients - Ability and desire to perform in a high-energy team environment - Excellent writing, compliance, communication, and tax research skills Benefits: They mention comprehensive, competitive benefits package. List: 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 (depending on job classification, standard work hours, years of service). Calendar of holidays, two breaks each year where employees will not be required to use PTO (year end and around July 4th). Additional details at Benefits & How We Work. Pay: California Salary Range: $77330 - $157665. Also mention KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package (but we already have benefits). Also mention KPMG LLP and its affiliates comply with local/state regulations regarding displaying salary ranges. That's legal boilerplate; we may drop. We should not include the link to salary ranges by city outside of CA. Also not include the statement about "Any offered salary is determined based on relevant factors..." That's somewhat generic but could be considered part of Pay? It's more about determination; but it's somewhat boilerplate. Might be okay to keep? The instruction: remove duplicated lines, legal/EEO boilerplate. That statement is about salary determination; it's somewhat generic but not exactly boilerplate. However it's a bit generic; but we could keep as part of Pay section to preserve substantive info? It's not specific numbers but explains how salary determined. Might be considered substantive? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." It's okay to include a short paragraph about salary determination. But we must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". This statement is not filler; it's about factors. I'd include it. Thus Pay section: paragraph: "KPMG LLP and its affiliates and subsidiaries (“KPMG”) complies with all local/state regulations regarding displaying salary ranges. If required, the ranges displayed below or via the URL below are specifically for those potential hires who will work in the location(s) listed. Any offered salary is determined based on relevant factors such as applicant's skills, job responsibilities, prior relevant experience, certain degrees and certifications and market considerations." Then we give the California Salary Range: $77330 - $157665. Also mention "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." But that's more benefits. We should avoid duplication: we already have benefits section; we can mention compensation package in Pay. Now produce HTML:

California Salary Range: $77,330 – $157,665

We need to ensure numbers formatted with commas as in original: $77330 - $157665 (no commas). We can keep as original. Use en dash? We'll keep hyphen. We must not include markdown fences. Just raw HTML. Check for any duplicated lines: we have not repeated. Check for any boilerplate: we removed EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, application instructions, "No phone calls or agencies please", "KPMG recruits on a rolling basis", etc. Also removed the Los Angeles County specifics about criminal history etc. That's legal/EEO? It's about Fair Chance Act; could be considered legal boilerplate; we should remove. Indeed we removed that. We also removed the link to salary ranges by city outside of CA. Good. We kept the Pay transparency statement; it's somewhat legal but maybe okay. It's not exactly EEO; it's about pay transparency. Might be okay. Check that we didn't include any placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now output only HTML
