On-siteAccounting$85k–$120k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "A bit about us:" and "Why join us?" and "Job Details" with Responsibilities, Qualifications, Compensation & Benefits, What Success Looks Like. Also Salary earlier: $85,000 - $120,000 per year, but later Compensation & Benefits gives base salary $75k-$100k plus bonus etc. We need to preserve all substantive info. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: navigation, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines like "Want to learn more about this role and Jobot? Click our Jobot logo and follow our LinkedIn page!" appears twice; remove. Also remove application instructions like "Easy Apply now by clicking the "Easy Apply" button". Also remove EEO etc. Also remove legal privacy etc.
We need sections only when there is real specific content. Use . It's okay.
- Annual Bonus: $10,000-$20,000
- 100% employer-paid medical insurance for employees
- 50% employer-paid dental and vision
- 5% 401(k) company match
- Company-paid life and disability insurance
- Paid CPA/EA licensing and continuing education
- Ability to bank overtime for additional paid time off
- Summer Fridays from mid-April through Labor Day
- Generous PTO package
Also earlier Salary: $85,000 - $120,000 per year (maybe overall range). There's a discrepancy: earlier Salary: $85,000 - $120,000 per year; later base salary $75k-$100k plus bonus $10k-$20k making total $85k-$120k. We should preserve both? The earlier Salary statement is substantive; we should include it. Could combine: base salary range plus bonus leads to total compensation. We'll include both: mention base salary and bonus, and also note overall salary range $85k-$120k per year.
Schedule: Summer Fridays off from mid-April through Labor Day. Also ability to bank overtime for additional paid time off after tax season (maybe schedule). We'll put under Schedule.
Now produce HTML:
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we need to map content to appropriate headings. The posting includes "A bit about us:" maybe "About the role" or "About the firm". Could use "About the role". "Why join us?" could be "Benefits"? But we have separate Benefits heading. Could treat "Why join us?" as Benefits or as a section about culture. But we have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real content. We have Responsibilities (list). Qualifications (list). Compensation & Benefits includes base salary, bonus, insurance, retirement match, etc. That's Benefits and Pay. Could split: Pay section for salary and bonus; Benefits section for insurance, retirement, PTO, Summer Fridays, etc. Schedule: Summer Fridays off from mid-April through Labor Day (that's schedule). Also ability to bank overtime for additional PTO after tax season (maybe schedule). So we can include Schedule heading. Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; but we have "Strong tax planning experience", "Excellent client communication and relationship management skills", "Collaborative, team-oriented personality". Could put under Skills or Qualifications. Since we have Qualifications heading, we can put those there. Skills heading maybe not needed if no specific skills list. Better to omit Skills if no specific content. Requirements: maybe same as Qualifications? The posting has Qualifications section. Could treat Requirements as same; but we should not duplicate. We can put qualifications under Qualifications heading. Requirements maybe not needed. Thus we will output sections: About the role (from "A bit about us:" and "Why join us?" maybe combine), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. But we can include base salary range; that's specific. Bonus range specific. Benefits specifics. We need to preserve all substantive info: include details about firm, responsibilities list, qualifications list, compensation details, benefits details, schedule details. We must not include application instructions, EEO, legal, navigation, duplicated lines. Let's extract content: "A bit about us:" paragraph: "We are partnering with a well-established, independently owned public accounting firm that has built its reputation on trusted client relationships, technical excellence, and personalized service. Rather than simply preparing tax returns, the team serves as year-round advisors to closely held businesses, high-net-worth individuals, trusts, estates, and nonprofit organizations, helping clients make informed financial decisions and plan for the future. Unlike many firms that have been acquired or consolidated in recent years, this organization has remained locally owned and intentionally independent, allowing leadership to make decisions that prioritize employees, clients, and long-term relationships over corporate mandates. The firm has experienced continued organic growth through client referrals and expanding business, creating an opportunity to add another experienced tax professional to the team. If you're looking for a collaborative environment where your expertise is valued, your voice is heard, and your work directly impacts clients, this is an excellent opportunity." "Why join us?" bullet list (actually sentences separated by periods): "Independently owned accounting firm with local decision-making and long-term stability. Opportunity to immediately sign tax returns and serve as a trusted advisor to clients. Collaborative, close-knit team with exceptional employee retention and a true family-first culture. Diverse tax work including individuals, partnerships, corporations, trusts, estates, and nonprofit organizations. Significant tax planning and client advisory exposure, not just compliance work. Generous annual bonus program tied to individual and firm performance. Ability to bank overtime for additional paid time off after tax season. Summer Fridays off from mid-April through Labor Day. Strong benefits package including employer-paid medical insurance, retirement match, and paid professional development. Leadership team that values collaboration, technical excellence, and long-term career growth." We can combine these into About the role section. Responsibilities list: bullet points after "Job Details Responsibilities:" list: - Prepare, review, and sign a wide variety of federal, state, and local tax returns. - Prepare individual, partnership, S-Corporation, C-Corporation, trust, estate, and nonprofit tax returns. - Provide proactive tax planning and consulting services for clients. - Review work prepared by staff and provide technical guidance as needed. - Build and maintain trusted client relationships through responsive, consultative service. - Assist with tax research and resolution of complex tax matters. - Prepare financial statement reviews and compilations. - Support bookkeeping and accounting engagements when appropriate. - Maintain organized workpapers while managing multiple deadlines throughout the year. - Participate in continuing education and contribute to a collaborative team environment. Qualifications list after "Qualifications:": - CPA strongly preferred; Enrolled Agent (EA) will also be considered. - 5–10 years of public accounting tax experience. - Ability to prepare and sign tax returns independently. - Strong tax planning experience. - Excellent client communication and relationship management skills. - Collaborative, team-oriented personality with a low-ego approach. - High level of professionalism, integrity, and technical competence. - Experience preparing a variety of tax returns including: Individual Partnership S-Corporation C-Corporation Trust & Estate Nonprofit (Note: the last line seems a list but we can keep as bullet.) Compensation & Benefits section: - Base Salary: $75,000-$100,000 (commensurate with experience) – but "commensurate with experience" is filler? It's a phrase but we can keep the range; the phrase may be considered filler but it's part of the sentence. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It says not to emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. That refers to headings with filler text, not necessarily to include the phrase inside content. It's okay to have "commensurate with experience" inside the content? Probably okay but better to avoid that phrase if possible. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot invent or summarize away detail. The phrase "commensurate with experience" is part of the salary description; removing it would lose nuance but maybe it's considered filler. The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") – that is about headings, not content. So we can keep the phrase inside
