Staff Accountant
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
First paragraph: "Staff Accountants work closely with others in the firm to assist our clients, management, owners and/or others charged with governance of privately held businesses, not for profit organizations, governmental entities, employee benefit plans and individuals. The Staff Accountant provides basic accounting, auditing, tax and/or other consulting services to clients within established firm and accounting guidelines. Completes routine accounting and tax related assignments with supervision. Other reasonable duties as assigned."
That's description of role. Could be "About the role" or maybe "Responsibilities". The posting includes "Essential Functions" with percentages.
Essential Functions: "In general, approximately 80% - 85% of your time will be associated with these assigned tasks to include but are not limited to: Perform fieldwork procedures in accounting and auditing engagements (including client inquiry, analytics and testing). Preparation of financial statements Prepare federal and state income tax returns for corporate, individual, partnership, fiduciary, trusts, estates and non-profits. Prepare any other governmental filing as necessary Perform basic accounting functions including bookkeeping, and reconciliations Build communication skills with internal teams, management and clients In-house special projects"
Then: "The remaining 15% - 20% of your time will likely be devoted to the following: Participate in firm directed CPE and on the job training. Networking; development of personal marketing plan In-house projects (committees, working groups, etc.) Outside of your normal job responsibilities if necessary you will devote significant efforts towards obtaining a CPA certificate."
That's responsibilities.
Then "Minimum Requirements Candidates must have a B.S. in Accounting or a closely related degree. MST, MSA or other industry related graduate degree is preferred. 150 relevant Credit Hours (As required for the CPA Exam) and should be on the CPA career track with basic knowledge of accounting concepts. Candidates must also have strong computer, communication and interpersonal skills, be organized, detail-oriented, energetic, and have a desire to learn. Must be able to excel in deadline-driven environment. Integrity, with an ability to handle confidential information is critical to this role. In addition, client contact is required, and this individual should be able to communicate effectively with client employees and members of a client’s management. Efficient knowledge of Excel is required."
That's requirements/qualifications/skills.
Then: "The Staff Accountant works a standard day shift in an office environment. Role may require travel or alternate work schedule based on client needs."
That's schedule.
Then: "Compensation details: 58500-68000 Yearly Salary PI44fcac893d70-25448-37167720"
That's pay.
We need to include Pay section only if posting actually states it. Yes, salary range given.
Schedule: we have standard day shift, may require travel or alternate work schedule based on client needs. That's schedule info.
Benefits: Not mentioned. So we should not include Benefits section.
Qualifications vs Requirements: The posting lumps them. We could have a "Requirements" section covering education, experience, skills. Could also separate "Qualifications" and "Skills". But we need to avoid thin sections. Probably combine into one "Requirements" section that includes education, credit hours, skills, etc. Or we could have "Requirements" for education and experience, and "Skills" for technical skills. But we need to decide based on content.
The posting includes: Minimum Requirements (education, credit hours, CPA track). Then also strong computer, communication, interpersonal skills, organized, detail-oriented, energetic, desire to learn, deadline-driven, integrity, confidentiality, client contact, communication, Excel knowledge. That's skills.
Thus we could have "Requirements" for education/credit hours, and "Skills" for the skill list. But both are substantive. Could also combine into one "Requirements" section with subpoints. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into one "Requirements" section covering both education and skills. But we also have separate "Pay" and "Schedule". So sections: About the role (maybe intro), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (education + skills), Pay, Schedule.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting.
We need to avoid repeating job title. Not include Job ID etc. The compensation line includes a weird code "PI44fcac893d70-25448-37167720". That seems like a tracking ID; we should drop it as minor metadata. So we just keep salary range.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
Now craft HTML.
First, maybe an

with list items for the essential functions (both 80% and 20% tasks). Should we split into two lists? Could combine but preserve detail. We'll list each bullet.
We need to include the percentages? The posting says "approximately 80% - 85% of your time will be associated with these assigned tasks to include but are not limited to:" then list. Then "The remaining 15% - 20% of your time will likely be devoted to the following:" then list.
We could include those as notes in the list items or as preceding . Better to include as

We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the percentages.
Thus:
Responsibilities
Approximately 80%–85% of time is devoted to:

Now Requirements section: include education, credit hours, CPA track, plus skills list.
We could do:
Requirements
Candidates must have a B.S. in Accounting or a closely related degree. MST, MSA or other industry‑related graduate degree is preferred. 150 relevant credit hours (as required for the CPA Exam) and should be on the CPA career track with basic knowledge of accounting concepts.

We could also split skills into a list. But the instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should list the skills as a list. However we also have education requirements which are not a list but prose. Could combine.
Better: Provide a

Thus:

Now Pay section:

Yearly salary range: $58,500 – $68,000
We need to preserve the exact numbers: 58500-68000 Yearly Salary. We'll format with commas and dollar sign.
Schedule section:
Schedule
Standard day shift in an office environment; may require travel or alternate work schedule based on client needs.
We should not include Benefits section as not mentioned.
Now ensure we didn't repeat job title. Not included.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
Thus final output:
