State & Local Tax Senior- Income Tax & Residency
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to parse the job posting and decide which sections to include.
The posting includes:
- Overview (company description) – could be "About the role"? Actually overview is about Baker Tilly. Could be "About the role" or "About the company". The instructions list possible headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose appropriate headings.
We have:
- Job Description: includes description of role, responsibilities (What You'll Do). That's responsibilities.
- Minimum Qualifications: bullet list.
- Preferred Qualifications: bullet list.
- Pay: "In California: pay rate range is $92,170 to $163,400". So we have Pay section.
- Benefits: Not explicitly listed; they mention "Baker Tilly offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package to eligible employees." That's generic, not specific benefits. According to rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It only says comprehensive package but no specifics. So we should not create Benefits section.
- Schedule: Not mentioned.
- Skills: Could be derived from qualifications but we could combine into Qualifications or Requirements. The instructions allow Qualifications and Skills sections. We could have Qualifications (minimum) and Preferred Qualifications maybe as separate? But we should avoid many thin sections. Perhaps combine Minimum and Preferred into Qualifications (with subheadings? Not allowed). Could use
Qualifications
and then list both minimum and preferred as bullet points? But we need to preserve all info. Could separate into Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as separate headings? Those are not in the list but we could still use them? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive list. Probably we should stick to those headings. So we can map:
- About the role: could include overview of Baker Tilly and role description (maybe a brief paragraph). But we already have responsibilities separate. Could put overview in About the role.
- Responsibilities: the "What You’ll Do" list.
- Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications.
- Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications? Or we could combine both into Qualifications and note which are minimum vs preferred. But we need to preserve all info; we could have two sub-sections under Qualifications using
or
with notes. However instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have:
About the role
(overview of Baker Tilly and role)
Responsibilities
(What You’ll Do)
Requirements
(Minimum Qualifications)
Qualifications
(Preferred Qualifications)
Pay
(pay range)
We should not include Benefits or Schedule.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statements, legal, unsolicited resumes, recruitment agency, etc. Also remove "Please discuss the work location status with your Baker Tilly talent acquisition professional..." etc. Also remove "Visit bakertilly.com or join the conversation on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram." Also remove "Baker Tilly is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer..." etc. Also remove "Any unsolicited resumes..." etc. Also remove "In order to be an authorized recruitment agency..." etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information: company overview, role description, responsibilities, minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, pay range.
Also note location: "Must be located in California near a Baker Tilly office." That's a requirement; could be included in Requirements.
Also note "Eligibility to work in the U.S., without sponsorship, required." That's also a requirement.
Now we need to format.
We'll produce something like:
