Senior Indirect Tax Accountant

We need to output only HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting: - Intro: "We are looking for an experienced Senior Accountant with a strong background in sales and use tax. This person will support a complex, high-volume environment with approximately 900 filings per year across 38 states. Manufacturing experience would be helpful due to tax exemptions, and SAP experience is preferred but not required. The role may also have some exposure to fixed assets, banking, and treasury. This position is expected to run through mid-to-late June with the potential to become permanent. The position offers a hybrid schedule, with Mondays and Fridays working from home and Tuesday through Thursday in the office, along with flexible start times between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. A bachelor’s degree is required." - Then "Job Description" paragraph: "The Senior Accountant plays a key role in managing sales and use tax compliance, maintaining accurate general ledger and banking records, and supporting financial close and audit activities. This position ensures that accounting practices align with company policies and GAAP, while also contributing to process improvements and providing backup support for treasury and banking operations." - Then "Responsibilities" list: many bullet points. - Then "Essential Skills" list: bullet points. - Then "Additional Skills & Qualifications" list. - Then "Job Type & Location": "This is a Contract position based out of Kansas City, MO." - Then "Pay And Benefits": pay range $35.00 - $48.00/hr. Then description about compensation factors. Then benefits list. - Then "Workplace Type": "This is a hybrid position in Kansas City,MO." (duplicate of earlier schedule info). We'll incorporate schedule info. - Then "Application Deadline": "This position is anticipated to close on Oct 6, 2026." (We can include as metadata maybe in a short p.) - Then "About Aston Carter": description of company. This is boilerplate? It's about the staffing agency; maybe we can keep as "About the company" but not required. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About Aston Carter" is not exactly boilerplate but it's about the staffing firm; could be considered not essential to the job. Might be okay to keep? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "About Aston Carter" is substantive about the employer but maybe not needed? However it's not about the role. The instruction says remove duplicated lines, but not necessarily remove company description. However typical job postings include company overview; we could keep as a section like "About the Company". But the allowed headings list does not include "About the Company". The allowed headings are: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content to those headings. "About Aston Carter" could go under "About the role"? Not exactly. Maybe we can omit it as it's not required heading. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we can omit sections that don't have content. We have content for About the role (intro), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe essential skills), Qualifications (maybe additional skills), Skills (maybe essential skills?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide mapping. We have: - About the role: intro paragraph describing role, environment, duration, hybrid schedule, bachelor's degree required. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: maybe essential skills (Bachelor's degree, 3 years sales/use tax experience, etc.) Could be "Requirements". - Requirements". - Qualifications: maybe additional skills & qualifications (SAP experience preferred, manufacturing experience preferred, etc.) Could be "Qualifications". - Skills: maybe essential skills list? But we already used essential skills for Requirements. Could combine? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could merge Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section, and maybe have a "Skills" section for technical skills like SAP, manufacturing, etc. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's think: The posting has "Essential Skills" and "Additional Skills & Qualifications". Both are lists. We could treat "Essential Skills" as "Requirements" (must-haves) and "Additional Skills & Qualifications" as "Preferred Qualifications" or "Qualifications". Then we could have a "Skills" section maybe not needed. But we have allowed heading "Skills". Could use it for technical skills like SAP, manufacturing, etc. However we already have those in Additional Skills & Qualifications. Might be okay to put them under "Skills". But we need to follow the instruction: use headings only when posting has real specific content for it. So we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 7 sections. Skills maybe not needed if we incorporate into Requirements/Qualifications. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

Senior Accountant

. Good. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract content. **About the role** (intro): - We are looking for an experienced Senior Accountant with a strong background in sales and use tax. - This person will support a complex, high-volume environment with approximately 900 filings per year across 38 states. - Manufacturing experience would be helpful due to tax exemptions, and SAP experience is preferred but not required. - The role may also have some exposure to fixed assets, banking, and treasury. - This position is expected to run through mid-to-late June with the potential to become permanent. - The position offers a hybrid schedule, with Mondays and Fridays working from home and Tuesday through Thursday in the office, along with flexible start times between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. - A bachelor’s degree is required. We also have later "Workplace Type: This is a hybrid position in Kansas City,MO." and schedule details already covered. Also location: Kansas City, MO. Should we include location? It's substantive. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate line. We'll include location in About the role paragraph. **Job Description** paragraph: Could be part of About the role or separate? The instruction says use

  for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. The Job Description paragraph is prose describing role; we could incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate "About the role" includes both intro and job description. We'll combine. Thus About the role paragraph will include: "We are looking for an experienced Senior Accountant with a strong background in sales and use tax.
