Senior Manager, Tax Accounting

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Basic Qualifications), Skills (Technical & Leadership Skills), Benefits (if present), Pay (if present), Schedule (if present). We must not repeat job title. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove Job ID (R2127092). Also remove "Location:" maybe? It's not a heading; we can fold into a short p. Also "Additional Compensation:" maybe not needed if not specific; it's vague; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "Additional Compensation: KBR may offer bonuses, commissions, or other forms of compensation..." That's vague but still mentions possible compensation. However instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits section: they list benefits: "KBR offers a selection of competitive lifestyle benefits which could include a 401K plan with company match, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, AD&D, flexible spending account, disability, paid time off, or flexible work schedule." That's specific enough to include Benefits section. Pay: they mention Additional Compensation vague but not specific numbers; still it's mention of compensation. Should we include Pay? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state Additional Compensation, but not specific pay. Might be considered stating compensation. Safer to include Pay section with that info? However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The Additional Compensation is vague; maybe we can omit Pay section. Benefits is substantive. Schedule: they mention flexible work schedule as part of benefits; not separate schedule. So no Schedule section. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits. Possibly also Qualifications? They have Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements (Basic) and maybe Preferred as part of Requirements? But we can have Requirements heading covering Basic Qualifications, and maybe Skills heading covering Technical & Leadership Skills. Preferred Qualifications could be included under Requirements as additional notes or maybe under Skills? Better to keep Requirements for Basic Qualifications, and maybe add a separate "Preferred Qualifications" but instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Preferred Qualifications is specific content. Could make a section "Preferred Qualifications". However they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Might combine Basic and Preferred under Requirements with subheadings? But we must use

for section headings only; we cannot have subheadings unless we also use

. Could embed both in same section with paragraphs. Probably acceptable to have Requirements (Basic) and then a separate Preferred Qualifications section. But that adds more sections. Let's see: we have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Basic), Skills, Benefits, Preferred Qualifications. That's 6 sections. Could be okay. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for each section heading. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep details. We'll strip boilerplate: opening paragraphs about KBR, Mission Technology Solutions, Finance, etc. Those are not part of role specifics? They are generic company description. Should we keep? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company overview might be considered boilerplate? It's not directly about the role but is part of posting. However it's not EEO/legal; it's descriptive. Might be considered substantive? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; but also we should focus on role specifics? Usually we keep company overview as it's part of posting. However they said remove duplicated lines; not sure. I'd keep the company overview paragraphs as they provide context. But they are quite long. Might be okay. But we need to output only HTML fragment; we can include

for prose. We'll structure:

About the role

... (the paragraph under About The Role)

Responsibilities

• ... each responsibility

Requirements

Basic Qualifications

• ... each bullet

Maybe we need to separate Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Better:

Requirements

Basic Qualifications

...

Preferred Qualifications

...

Skills

Technical & Leadership Skills

...

Benefits

...

We must not add extra headings like Pay or Schedule. Now extract content. About The Role paragraph: "The Senior Manager, Tax Accounting is responsible for supporting the company’s U.S. tax accounting function, including the preparation and review of income tax provisions, tax-related financial reporting, and compliance with ASC 740 requirements. This role plays an important part in ensuring accurate tax accounting, supporting financial statement disclosures, and maintaining compliance with applicable tax regulations. Partnering closely with Accounting, FP&A, Treasury, Legal, and external advisors, the Manager will contribute to tax planning initiatives, support audits and regulatory inquiries, and help drive continuous improvement across tax processes, controls, and reporting activities." We'll keep that as

. Responsibilities list: each sentence separated by periods? Let's extract bullet points: - Prepare and review quarterly and annual income tax provisions under ASC 740, including effective tax rate analyses, deferred tax calculations, and supporting tax-related financial statement disclosures. - Partner with Corporate Accounting and SEC Reporting teams to ensure accurate reporting of tax balances, tax expense, and related disclosures in financial statements. - Support U.S. federal, state, and local income tax compliance activities by coordinating with internal stakeholders and external service providers to ensure timely and accurate filings. - Research and analyze tax accounting matters, changes in tax regulations, and business transactions to assess financial reporting impacts and support technical accounting conclusions. - Support the maintenance of effective internal controls over tax accounting and reporting processes, including compliance with SOX requirements and documentation standards. - Assist with tax audits, examinations, and information requests from external auditors and tax authorities. - Collaborate with Accounting, Treasury, FP&A, Legal, and other stakeholders to provide tax-related guidance and support business initiatives. - Identify opportunities to enhance tax processes, reporting accuracy, automation, and operational efficiency. - Support the management of relationships with external tax advisors, auditors, and service providers. - Participate in special projects, tax planning initiatives, and other tax-related matters as assigned. We'll put each as

. Requirements Basic Qualifications: - Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Taxation, or a related field. - 8+ years of progressive tax, accounting, financial reporting, or related experience. - Experience supporting income tax accounting under ASC 740. - Experience working with U.S. federal and state income tax compliance processes. - Experience supporting audits, financial reporting, or tax-related compliance activities. - CPA or equivalent professional certification preferred. We'll list as

. Preferred Qualifications: - Public accounting experience, preferably with a Big Four or national accounting firm. - Experience supporting a publicly traded company and SEC reporting requirements. - Experience with SOX compliance and internal controls related to tax accounting and reporting. - Demonstrated success driving process improvements, automation initiatives, or tax technology enhancements.

Benefits: - KBR offers a selection of competitive lifestyle benefits which could include a 401K plan with company match, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, AD&D, flexible spending account, disability, paid time off, or flexible work schedule. - We support career advancement through professional training and development. We could also include "Belong, Connect and Grow at KBR" but that's more fluff; maybe include as part of Benefits? It's about culture. Could be omitted as not benefit. But we could keep as a paragraph under Benefits? Might be considered fluff. I'd keep only the benefits list. Also we might include a short paragraph about Location: "Location: The ideal candidate will be located in the Houston, TX or greater Washington D.C.-Baltimore area. While KBR strives to maintain a global, flexible, diverse, and sustainable work environment for our people, we currently offer flexible working arrangements, including hybrid, remote working, and virtual delivery to help reinforce and strengthen our strong commitment to becoming a more socially sustainable company, allowing us to provide greater work-life balance and flexibility." We could fold that into a

under maybe a heading? Not a heading. Could be placed after Benefits as a paragraph. But instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Location is metadata; we can include a short

after Benefits. Also "Additional Compensation:" maybe we can include as a short

under Benefits or separate? It's vague; maybe we can drop as not specific. Safer to drop. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown. Let's craft. We'll start with maybe a

for company overview? The initial paragraphs about KBR, Mission Technology Solutions, Finance. Might be considered boilerplate but not EEO. I'd include them as a

before About the role? However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The company overview is generic; maybe we can drop it as not specific to role. But they said preserve ALL substantive information; but also remove boilerplate. The company overview might be considered boilerplate. I'd drop it to keep focused. Thus output:
