We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Must include Pay section because compensation given. Benefits? Not mentioned. Schedule? Not mentioned. So we may omit Benefits and Schedule. Also maybe include "About The Role" as heading. "What You'll Do" is responsibilities. "How You'll Grow" maybe could be under Qualifications? Actually it's about growth, could be under "Qualifications"? But we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content.
- About the role: The "About The Role" paragraph describing Corporate Finance & Restructuring practice and Real Estate Solutions. That's about the role. Use
About the role
then... content. - Responsibilities: The "What You'll Do" bullet list. Use
- each duty.
- Requirements: Basic Qualifications bullet list? Actually "Basic Qualifications" list: Undergraduate or graduate degree in Accounting, 3+ years of post-graduate work experience, Education in compliance with CPA exam requirements, Experience in partnership or individual taxation, This role may require travel to clients and FTI offices, Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis; the employer will not sponsor applicants for work visas. That's requirements.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list: Experience in Public Accounting is a plus, Strong analytical skills and accounting or audit knowledge, Requisite education and working toward CPA certification, Knowledge of Excel, MS-Word; familiarity with tax preparation software (GO System preferred), Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Skills: Could be derived from responsibilities? But we have separate Skills section; maybe we can include skills from responsibilities like tax compliance, research, etc. But we must not invent. Could we leave Skills empty? We should only include section if posting has real specific content for it. The posting does not have a distinct "Skills" heading; but we could extract skills from responsibilities and qualifications. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be okay to omit Skills if not explicitly present. But we have Qualifications and Requirements already. Could combine? But we need to follow given headings; we can omit Skills if no specific content. However we have content that could be considered skills: e.g., "Excellent interpersonal skills", "Strong analytical skills", "Knowledge of Excel, MS-Word", etc. Those are in Preferred Qualifications. Might be better to put those under Skills section. But then Qualifications would be just education/experience. Let's decide: We'll treat Requirements as basic qualifications (education, experience, authorization). Qualifications as preferred qualifications (public accounting, analytical skills, CPA progress, software, communication). Skills could be derived from responsibilities like tax compliance, research, client relationship, training, technology use, etc. But that may be thin. However we have enough to make a Skills section: list of skills like tax compliance, financial statement analysis, tax research, client communication, team leadership, technology utilization, proposal assistance, etc. Those are explicitly mentioned in responsibilities. So we can create Skills section with those.
- Benefits: Not mentioned, omit.
- Pay: Include compensation range.
- Schedule: Not mentioned, omit.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay.
Now need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Must not include duplicated lines. Must not include navigation etc.
We need to extract exact sentences? We can paraphrase but must preserve meaning. Safer to copy sentences as is, but ensure no extra fluff.
Let's gather content.
About the role: Two paragraphs: "FTI Consulting’s Corporate Finance & Restructuring practice focuses on our clients’ strategic, operational, financial and capital needs by addressing the full spectrum of financial and transactional challenges faced by corporations, boards, private equity sponsors, creditor constituencies and other stakeholders.

We can keep as is.
Responsibilities: The "What You'll Do" section includes many sentences. Let's list them as bullet points.

We need to break into bullet points; each bullet can be a sentence or phrase. Must not lose detail. We'll create
- each distinct responsibility.
We'll need to ensure we don't duplicate. Let's list:
- Play a significant role on a major client-service team as a tax professional.
- Oversee day-to-day workflow management.
- Ensure responsiveness to client deadlines for tax returns and special projects/consulting.
- Possess strong compliance skills (management of the tax return preparation process) and ability to grow technically.
- Demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills for this team-oriented position.
- Grow with high visibility clients.
- Manage other real estate clients, including REITs and private equity real estate funds.
- Operate in a challenging, fast-paced, results-oriented environment focused on collaboration and professional/career growth.
- Review Corporate, Partnership, Individual, Trust, Nonprofit, and Gift tax returns.
- Highlight tax issues or unusual relationships from basic analysis of financial statements and tax documents.
- Clearly and accurately document tax compliance forms as defined in planning.

- Assist in developing potential opportunities and contacts for Real Estate Solutions.
- Assist in the proposal process.

That seems comprehensive.
Now Requirements (Basic Qualifications):
- Undergraduate or graduate degree in Accounting.
- 3+ years of post-graduate work experience.
- Education in compliance with CPA exam requirements.
- Experience in partnership or individual taxation.
- Role may require travel to clients and FTI offices.
- Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis; employer will not sponsor applicants for work visas.
Now Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications):
- Experience in Public Accounting is a plus.
- Strong analytical skills and accounting or audit knowledge.
- Requisite education and working toward CPA certification.
- Knowledge of Excel, MS-Word; familiarity with tax preparation software (GO System preferred).
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Now Skills: We could extract from responsibilities and maybe some from qualifications. But to avoid duplication, we can list skills not already covered. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can include skills even if also mentioned elsewhere? Might be duplication but okay as long as we don't invent. But better to avoid duplication. However we already have many responsibilities that are essentially skills. Could we treat Skills as a summary of abilities like tax compliance, financial statement analysis, tax research, client communication, team leadership, technology utilization, proposal development, etc. But that may be summarizing. Might be better to omit Skills section entirely, as we already have Responsibilities and Qualifications covering skills. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could omit Skills if not explicitly present. However the posting does have a "Skills" implied but not a heading. The instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Since there is no explicit Skills heading, we could omit Skills section. But we have to decide if we should include it based on content we can extract. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So better to have fewer sections. We have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay. That's five sections. That's good.
Thus we will output those sections.
Now Pay: Include compensation range.
From text: "Compensation Minimum Pay: $78,500 Maximum Pay: $163,000 Compensation Disclosure: The compensation range reflects potential base salary for the role. Actual compensation is determined based on a wide array of relevant factors including market considerations, business needs, and an individual’s location, skills, level of experience, and qualifications."
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we can put that as a
under Pay heading. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed that. Now output HTML fragment: use
for each section heading. Then content:
for prose,
- for lists. We need to ensure we don't include any extra text outside HTML. Let's craft. About the role:
- each distinct responsibility.
