State and Local Tax - Income and Franchise Manager
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the job description.
Key parts:
- Job title: Income/Franchise Tax Manager (not to be repeated as heading).
- Job description paragraphs: "As the Income/Franchise Tax Manager, you’ll deliver a full range of tax planning, consulting, and compliance services for your multiple clients – all with the resources, environment, and support to help you excel.

From day one, you’ll be empowered by high quality tools and resources to thrive in your role to meet client needs and help you achieve more, confidently. Your day-to-day may include: ..."
Then bullet list after "Your day-to-day may include:" includes multiple items separated by semicolons? Actually they list:
- Manage, direct, and monitor multiple client services teams on client engagements; plan, execute, direct, and complete tax projects in a wide variety of industries; provide tax planning, consulting, and compliance expertise to clients; and manage budget

At Grant Thornton, compensation decisions are dependent upon the facts and circumstances of each position and candidate."
Then "#SALT" maybe tag.
Then "About Us" section: description of firm.
Then "About The Team": description of work location, hybrid model, etc.
Then "Benefits:" paragraph: "We understand that your needs, responsibilities and experiences are different, and we think that’s a good thing. That’s why we support you with personalized and comprehensive benefits that recognize and empower all the identities, roles and aspirations that make you, well, you. For an overview of our benefit offerings, please visit: https://www.grantthornton.com/careers/rewards-and-benefits"
Then details about internship/seasonal benefits etc. Then bonus eligibility.
Then Additional Details: EEO etc. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO/equal-opportunity, legal, scam-warning, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to keep substantive info: description of role, responsibilities, qualifications, skills, pay range, benefits overview, schedule (hybrid work model: in-person attendance at least three days per week). Also maybe "About Us" and "About The Team" could be considered as "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is about firm, not role. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings.
We have:
- About the role: could be the introductory paragraph describing the role (the first paragraph(s) before responsibilities). That is substantive.
- Responsibilities: the list of day-to-day duties.
- Requirements: maybe the "You have the following technical skills and qualifications:" list? Actually that includes qualifications and skills. We could separate Requirements (education, experience, licensure) and Skills (communication, project management, etc.). But we can combine if needed. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have Requirements (including education, experience, licensure) and Skills (communication, project management, business development, computer skills, travel). Or we could have Qualifications (education, experience, licensure) and Skills (others). But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which to include based on content.
We have:
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting (education)
- Minimum six years of progressive tax compliance and/or tax consulting (experience)
- Active CPA license, JD with active law license in good standing, or Certified Member of the Institute for Professionals in Taxation (licensure/certification)
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills (skill)
- Managers are required to manage various project tasks, at the same time (skill)
- Project managers will be ultimately responsible for the overall project and deliverable (skill)
- Support business development activities, such as identification, proposal development, and other pursuit activities at clients (skill)
- Strong computer skills (skill)
- Can travel as needed (skill/requirement)
Thus we could have:
- Requirements: education, experience, licensure.
- Skills: communication, project management, business development, computer skills, travel.
Qualifications maybe redundant with Requirements; but we could skip Qualifications if not needed. 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 can omit Qualifications if we think it's covered by Requirements. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings available; we can choose to include Requirements and Skills, and maybe Benefits, Pay, Schedule, About the role, Responsibilities.
We also have About Us and About The Team; these could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is more about the position itself, not the firm. The "About Us" and "About The Team" are about firm culture, work model, benefits, etc. Some of that could go under Benefits (benefits overview) and Schedule (hybrid work model). The "About The Team" includes schedule: "Consistent with the firm's hybrid work model, this position will require in-person attendance at least three days per week, either at a GT office or client site." That's schedule.
Also "About Us" includes description of firm, maybe not needed as a separate heading; we could incorporate into About the role? But the instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should have an About the role section summarizing the role description (the introductory paragraphs). The "About Us" and "About The Team" could be considered part of About the role? Or we could treat them as separate sections but not in the list; but we should only use those headings. So we should not create a heading like "About Us". Instead we can incorporate relevant info into About the role or Benefits or Schedule.
Thus:
- About the role: combine the introductory paragraph(s) describing the role, plus maybe the firm description? But better to keep it focused on role: "As the Income/Franchise Tax Manager, you’ll deliver a full range of tax planning, consulting, and compliance services for your multiple clients – all with the resources, environment, and support to help you excel. You’ll collaborate with the Income/Franchise team and lead staff on various tax matters, on all phases of project and engagement management, because together is how we succeed. From day one, you’ll be empowered by high quality tools and resources to thrive in your role to meet client needs and help you achieve more, confidently."
That seems good.
- Responsibilities: the bullet list of duties.
- Requirements: education, experience, licensure.
- Skills: communication, project management, business development, computer skills, travel.
- Benefits: the paragraph about personalized benefits and link to overview; also mention bonus eligibility? The bonus paragraph: "Grant Thornton employees may be eligible for a discretionary, annual bonus based on individual and firm performance, subject to the terms, conditions and eligibility criteria of the applicable bonus plan or program." That's a benefit. Also intern/seasonal specifics not relevant to this role (manager). So we can include the benefits paragraph and bonus eligibility.
- Pay: the base salary range $138,000-$172,500 and note about placement.
- Schedule: hybrid work model requiring in-person attendance at least three days per week.
We should also maybe include "About The Team" content about work-life integration, flexible schedule, etc. That could go under Schedule or Benefits? It mentions work location, weekly schedule, flex time off, empower you to work the way that best serves clients and life. That's schedule/flexibility. Could be part of Schedule.
Thus Schedule section: mention hybrid work model, in-person attendance at least three days per week, flexible schedule, flex time off, work-life integration options.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Also remove the "Additional Details:" EEO stuff, also remove the "For Los Angeles Applicants only:" etc. Also remove the "#SALT" line. Also remove the "Benefits for internship positions:" etc. Also remove the "Benefits for seasonal employee positions:" etc. Also remove the "See how at www.gt.com/careers" etc. Also remove the "Here’s what you can expect next:" etc. Also remove the "About Us" and "About The Team" paragraphs that are boilerplate? But we need to keep some content about hybrid work model etc. That is in About The Team. We'll extract the relevant bits.
Let's extract relevant bits from About The Team:
"The team you’re about to join is ready to help you thrive. Here’s how: Whether it's your work location, weekly schedule, or flex time off, we empower you with the options to work the way that it best serves your clients and your life. Consistent with the firm's hybrid work model, this position will require in-person attendance at least three days per week, either at a GT office or client site. Here, you are supported to prioritize your overall well-being through work-life integration options that work best for you and those in your household. We understand that your needs, responsibilities and experiences are different — and we think that’s a good thing. That’s why we support you with personalized and comprehensive benefits that recognize and empower all the identities, roles and aspirations that make you, well, you. See how at www.gt.com/careers"
We can keep the first two sentences about work location, weekly schedule, flex time off, hybrid work model, in-person attendance three days per week, work-life integration options. The later sentence about personalized benefits repeats benefits section; we can skip duplicate.
Thus Schedule section: combine that.
Now Benefits section: we have the paragraph: "We understand that your needs, responsibilities and experiences are different, and we think that’s a good thing. That’s why we support you with personalized and comprehensive benefits that
