Accounting$100k–$120k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have "Our Story", "Your Future Team", "What You’ll Do", "What You’ll Bring", "What We Offer", "Compensation Range". Also maybe "Advanced Accounting & Tax", "Client Leadership", etc. But we need to follow rules: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to these headings where appropriate. The posting includes sections: "What You’ll Do" (Responsibilities), "What You’ll Bring" (Requirements/Qualifications/Skills), "What We Offer" (Benefits), "Compensation Range" (Pay). Also there is "Our Story" and "Your Future Team" which are about company; maybe not needed but could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is not present; we could omit if no specific content. 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 should include sections for Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Skills? The "What You’ll Bring" includes skills etc. Could map to Requirements or Qualifications. We'll decide: Use

Responsibilities

for "What You’ll Do". Use

Requirements

for "What You’ll Bring". Use

Benefits

for "What We Offer". Use

Pay

for "Compensation Range". Also maybe "Qualifications" could be separate but we can combine. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we will have four sections. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO, Work Authorization, Applicant Privacy Notice, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines. Also remove "Our Story" and "Your Future Team"? Those are not required headings; but they contain substantive info about company. Should we keep them? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't say we must only include those headings; we can include other headings if they are substantive, but we must use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive list. It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use other headings as long as they are

. But we should avoid creating headings like "Our Story" if not in the list? The list is examples; we could still use "Our Story" as a heading but it's not in the examples. Safer to stick to the given headings. However we need to preserve all substantive information; if we omit "Our Story" and "Your Future Team", we lose substantive info about the company. But maybe that's considered boilerplate? It's about the firm, not the role. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "Our Story" and "Your Future Team" are not those; they are substantive about the firm. Should we keep them? Possibly yes, but we need a heading. Could use

About the firm

but not in examples. However we could use

About the role

and put that info there? That would be inaccurate. Better to include a section like

About Archer Lewis

even if not in examples; the instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exhaustive. So we can use other headings. Thus we can include sections: About Archer Lewis (combining Our Story and Your Future Team), Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is Senior Tax Accountant; we should not put that as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information: include details like "Oversee complex tax and accounting matters, ensuring accuracy and adherence to standards." etc. We need to format lists appropriately. Let's extract content. First, combine "Our Story Archer Lewis is a national accounting and advisory firm established in 2024 from local practice mergers, leveraging over 70 years of legacy. With 40+ offices and over 600+ professionals, we serve 65,000+ clients. Our approach blends small-firm relationships with national capabilities in bookkeeping, tax, advisory, and growth planning. We adapt to client preferences for in-person or online interactions, ensuring they connect with professionals who understand their specific needs." Second, "Your Future Team DTA Accountants is a longstanding tax and financial advisory firm based in Bellevue, Washington, delivering comprehensive services to businesses, individuals, trusts, and estates. With roots dating back to 2009, the firm has been serving clients for 17 years, building a respected reputation for individualized, unbiased financial and tax guidance supported by a skilled team with deep experience in accounting and strategic planning. In 2025, DTA Accountants joined Archer Lewis as part of the organization’s expanding national network, becoming one of several established regional firms integrated into the Archer Lewis alternative practice structure. Through this partnership, DTA Accountants continues to provide their signature relationship driven, client focused service while gaining access to enhanced national resources, advanced tools, and expanded operational support across the Archer Lewis network." We can combine into a paragraph or two. Now Responsibilities: "What You’ll Do As a Senior Tax Accountant, you will take the lead on complex tax and accounting engagements, ensuring the quality, accuracy, and timely delivery of all work products. You will serve as a trusted technical resource for the team, applying your advanced accounting and tax knowledge to resolve challenges, guide decision making, and uphold firm standards. You will mentor and support staff, helping develop their technical skills and professional growth. You will also play a key role in strengthening internal processes, enhancing workflow efficiency, and contributing to leadership initiatives that drive continuous improvement across the firm." Then bullet list under Advanced Accounting & Tax, Client Leadership, Team Leadership & Quality Control, Process Improvement. Each has multiple bullet points. We need to use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert those bullet points into list items. We have headings within responsibilities: "Advanced Accounting & Tax", "Client Leadership", "Team Leadership & Quality Control", "Process Improvement". Should we treat those as subheadings? The instruction only mentions using

      for section headings; we could use

      ? Not allowed? It didn't forbid other heading levels, but we should stick to

      for sections. Could we keep those as or

      ? Probably better to keep them as

      or just bold text within

      . Since not specified, we can use . But we need to preserve the content; we can keep them as part of the list items. Simplify: Under Responsibilities, we can have a

        with each duty as
      • . The subheadings can be included as part of the
      • text. Similarly for Requirements: "What You’ll Bring" includes a list of items: Bachelor's degree..., Minimum of 5 years..., Active CPA or EA license..., Strong and current knowledge..., Advanced proficiency..., Proven leadership skills..., Exceptional analytical..., Strong sense..., Excellent written..., Strong organizational... We can make a
          with each as
        • . Benefits: "What We Offer" includes list: Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance..., Paid Parental Leave, 401(k) Matching Program, Pre-Tax Commuter Benefits, Pet Insurance, Unlimited Flexible Time Off, 7 Company‑Paid Holidays, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Eligible for an annual performance-based bonus of up to 5% of base salary, based on individual and company performance. We need to preserve details like "(Coverage begins on the first of the month following your start date.)" for medical etc. Also note "Unlimited Flexible Time Off". We'll keep as list items. Pay: "Compensation Range $100,000—$120,000 USD". We'll put in

          . Now we need to remove boilerplate: Applicant Privacy Notice, Equal Employment Opportunity, Work Authorization Requirement. Also remove any duplicated lines (none). Also remove any navigation etc. Now produce HTML. Structure:

          • Support leadership on special projects and firm‑wide initiatives aimed at continuous improvement.
          But we need to ensure we didn't miss any duty: The "What You’ll Do" paragraph includes lead on complex tax and accounting engagements, ensuring quality, accuracy, timely delivery; serve as trusted technical resource; mentor and support staff; play key role in strengthening internal processes, enhancing workflow efficiency, contributing to leadership initiatives. Those are covered by the bullet points? The bullet points from subheadings cover many but maybe not the initial paragraph. We could add those as separate list items at top. Let's list all duties from the paragraph: - Take the lead on complex tax and accounting engagements, ensuring the quality, accuracy, and timely delivery of all work products. - Serve as a trusted technical resource for the team, applying your advanced accounting and tax knowledge to resolve challenges, guide decision making, and uphold firm standards. - Mentor and support staff, helping develop their technical skills and professional growth. - Play a key role in strengthening internal processes, enhancing workflow efficiency, and contributing to leadership initiatives that drive continuous improvement across the firm.

Now Requirements: list items: - Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field required. - Minimum of 5 years of progressive accounting and tax experience, with demonstrated growth in responsibilities and expertise. - Active CPA or EA license required. - Strong and current knowledge of
