We need to preserve all substantive info: The description includes many bullet-like sentences but not actual bullet list. We need to convert any list of duties/requirements/benefits into - . The posting has sentences separated by line breaks; we can treat each as list item.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statements, "The specific statements shown..." etc. Also remove "Learn more about our benefits and commitment to your success." maybe keep as part of Benefits? But it's a link; we can keep link? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link to benefits maybe not boilerplate; it's part of Benefits section. We can keep it.
Also remove "Stout is required by applicable state and local laws..." that's legal boilerplate; remove. Also remove "Stout is an Equal Employment Opportunity..." remove. Also remove "The specific statements shown..." remove. Also remove "Information about benefits can be found here - https://..." maybe keep? It's duplicate of earlier link; we can keep one.

These could be Requirements or Skills. We'll put under Requirements (or Skills). The instruction: Use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We have Education and/or Training separate. So we can put What You Bring under Requirements (or Skills). Let's decide: Requirements: experience, education, certifications. Skills: technical skills, soft skills. But we have both. Could split: Requirements: Education and/or Training (bullet). Skills: What You Bring. But we also have "Minimum 7-10 years of experience..." etc. That's more like Requirements. Let's create sections:
- About the role (intro + impact)
- Responsibilities (What You'll Do)
- Requirements (Education and/or Training + experience + CPA)
- Skills (What You Bring)
- Benefits (Why Stout? includes benefits, culture, flexible work, etc.)
- Pay (compensation range)
We'll omit Schedule.
Now extract Education and/or Training: "Education and/or Training: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Accounting or related major Minimum 7-10 years of experience in audit and/or financial accounting due diligence (with at least 2 years in due diligence). Big Four experience preferred. Certified Public Accountant (CPA)". We'll put as list items.

We need to keep that as Benefits section. Also there is later duplicate link; we can keep one.
Pay: "A reasonable estimate of the current range is $120,000.00 - $215,000.00 . This role is also anticipated to be eligible to participate in an annual bonus plan." We'll put as Pay section.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "The specific statements shown..." etc. Remove.
Also remove duplicated lines: The benefits link appears twice; we keep one.
