That's about the role / overview. Could be "About the role". We'll include that as About the role
with paragraphs.
Then "Responsibilities:" list bullet points.
Responsibilities bullet list:
- Provide tax compliance services to partnerships for Asset Management clients
- Deliver exceptional client service to multi-state companies with state and local tax issues including compliance, advisory services, planning, technology, and controversies

- Supervise, mentor, and develop staff members and teams
- Additional responsibilities for Senior Manager: Assist multi-state companies with analyzing state tax considerations/impacts related to business restructuring projects and intercompany transactions
- Develop cross-functional relationships within the firm
We can combine as list items.
Then "Qualifications:" bullet list.
Qualifications bullet list:
- Minimum five years of recent experience performing tax research and providing technical advice on multi-state tax issues
- Bachelor's degree from an accredited college/university
- Licensed CPA, EA, JD/LLM or MTX, in addition to others on KPMG's approved credential listing; any individual who does not possess at least one of the approved designations/credentials when their employment commences, has one year from their date of hire to obtain at least one of the approved designations/credentials; should you like to see the complete list of currently approved designations/credentials for the hiring practice/service line, your recruiter can provide you with that list
- Able to develop business and foster client relationships
- Ability and desire to perform in a high-energy team environment, and excellent writing, communication, and tax research skills
- Prior experience in Partnership and/or Asset Management
- Additional qualifications for Senior Manager: Minimum eight years of recent experience in providing tax research and technical advice on multi-state issues
- Strong knowledge of the development, planning, and execution of client delivery
- Experience with various other state and local taxes
We need to decide sections: Qualifications vs Requirements vs Skills. The posting uses "Qualifications". Could treat that as Qualifications. Also there is "Additional qualifications for Senior Manager". Could be part of Qualifications.
We could also have a "Skills" section for abilities like develop business, foster client relationships, high-energy team environment, writing, communication, tax research skills. But we can keep them under Qualifications.
We also have Pay and Benefits sections.
Pay: The posting includes salary range info: "California Salary Range: $113145 - $270020". Also mention "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." Also link to salary ranges by city outside of CA. So we have specific pay info: California Salary Range. So we should include a Pay section with that info.
Benefits: The posting includes description of benefits: "In addition, KPMG is proud to offer a comprehensive, competitive benefits package, with options designed to help you make the best decisions for yourself, your family, and your lifestyle. Available benefits are based on eligibility. Our Total Rewards package includes a variety of medical and dental plans, vision coverage, disability and life insurance, 401(k) plans, and a robust suite of personal well-being benefits to support your mental health. Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year. Additionally, each year KPMG publishes a calendar of holidays to be observed during the year and provides eligible employees two breaks each year where employees will not be required to use Personal Time Off; one is at year end and the other is around the July 4th holiday. Additional details about our benefits can be found towards the bottom of our KPMG US Careers site at Benefits & How We Work."
Thus we have Benefits section.
Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. There's mention of standard work hours, personal time off, holidays, breaks. Could infer schedule but not explicit. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. For Schedule, we have mention of standard work hours, personal time off, holidays, breaks. That's somewhat schedule-related. But is it explicit enough? It says "Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year." That's about PTO, not schedule. It also mentions holidays and breaks. Might be considered schedule info. However, the instruction says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state standard work hours, holidays, breaks. So we could include a Schedule section with that info. But we need to see if we have enough specific content: "Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year. Additionally, each year KPMG publishes a calendar of holidays to be observed during the year and provides eligible employees two breaks each year where employees will not be required to use Personal Time Off; one is at year end and the other is around the July 4th holiday." That's schedule-related. We'll include Schedule section.
But we must avoid filler like "not specified". This is specific enough.
Now we need to remove boilerplate: EEO statements, legal, navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove lines like "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." That's somewhat boilerplate but also includes pay info. We need to preserve substantive info: the salary range and link. The rest is generic. We can keep the salary range and link, but discard the explanatory sentences that are generic. However, we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. The generic sentences about how salary is determined may be considered boilerplate but also part of posting. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The salary determination explanation might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed. However, it's not EEO or legal; it's about compensation. Might be considered part of the posting but could be considered boilerplate. Safer to keep it? The instruction says remove boilerplate, but not define exactly. The salary determination explanation is generic but still part of posting. I'd lean to keep it as it's substantive about how salary is determined. However, the instruction also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine pay info into a short paragraph.
We also have "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." That's generic but we already have benefits.
We also have "Follow this link to obtain salary ranges by city outside of CA: https://kpmg.com/us/en/how-we-work/pay-transparency.html/?id=M315U_2_26". Keep that.
We also have "California Salary Range: $113145 - $270020". Keep.
Now benefits section: we have description.
Schedule section: we have standard work hours, PTO, holidays, breaks.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll structure:
