We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Overview: description of firm (maybe "About the role"? Actually "Overview" could be "About the role" or "About Baker Tilly". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map content accordingly.
We have:
- Overview (firm description) -> could be "About the role" or maybe "About Baker Tilly". But we need to decide. The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use those exact headings if content matches.
We have:
- Job Description paragraph: "Baker Tilly, one of the fastest growing CPA advisory firms...". That's about the role. Could be "About the role".
- "What You’ll Do" list -> Responsibilities.
- Minimum Qualifications -> Requirements? Or Qualifications? There's both Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says we can have sections Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide mapping.
We have Minimum Qualifications (4-year degree, 3 years experience, license eligible for CPA, CMI, Law License/JD). Preferred Qualifications (Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or related field required; Masters or advanced degree preferred. 3+ years experience in SALT, individual taxation, tax controversy, etc. Experience advising HNW individuals, etc. Strong working knowledge... Experience with state tax audits... Strong analytical, research, written, verbal communication skills... Ability to collaborate... Experience reviewing work of associates... Eligibility to work in US without sponsorship required.)
We also have "What You’ll Do" which is responsibilities.
We have Pay: "In California: pay rate range is $92,170 to $163,400". So we need a Pay section.
We have Benefits? Not explicitly mentioned besides "Baker Tilly offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package to eligible employees." That's vague but mentions benefits package. However instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state "offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package". That's a statement about benefits but not specific. Is that enough? It says "comprehensive compensation and benefits package". That's somewhat generic but still states benefits exist. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state benefits package, albeit not detailed. I'd include a Benefits section with that statement.
Schedule: Not mentioned. So omit Schedule.
We also have location: "Must be located in California near a Baker Tilly office." That could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate section? Not in list. Could be included in Requirements.
We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include location requirement.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, unsolicited resumes, recruitment agency, etc. Remove those.
We also need to remove duplicated lines.
Now craft HTML.

We'll have:
About the role
... overview of firm and role description ...
ThenResponsibilities
- ... each bullet from "What You’ll Do"
Requirements
... maybe combine Minimum Qualifications and location eligibility? Actually Minimum Qualifications are requirements. We'll put them in Requirements. Then
Qualifications
... Preferred Qualifications ...
ThenSkills
Maybe we can extract skills from Preferred Qualifications: strong analytical, research, written, verbal communication skills, judgment, discretion, responsiveness, interpersonal skills, ability to collaborate, experience reviewing work of associates, etc. But we already have them in Qualifications. Could combine. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can put skills within Qualifications. However instruction says we can have Skills section if there is real specific content. We could pull out the skills list. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to preserve all substantive info. If we put skills in Qualifications, we still preserve them. Having a separate Skills section may be okay if we extract them. But we need to ensure we don't lose any info. Let's see: Preferred Qualifications includes many items: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance or related field required; Masters or advanced degree preferred. Three (3)+ year(s) experience in state and local tax, individual taxation, tax controversy, or a related area; professional services firm experience preferred. Experience advising high-net-worth individuals, business owners, executives, family offices, or similar private clients strongly preferred. Strong working knowledge of state individual income tax principles, particularly residency and domicile, statutory residency, income sourcing, and credits for taxes paid to other states. Experience with state tax audits and controversy matters, particularly residency or individual income tax examinations, is strongly preferred. Strong analytical, research, written, and verbal communication skills, with the judgment, discretion, responsiveness, and interpersonal skills necessary to advise high-net-worth clients and their advisors on complex and sensitive matters. Ability to collaborate effectively across State & Local Tax, Private Wealth, and other specialty tax and advisory practices while leading teams and managing multiple consulting and controversy engagements, competing priorities, and deadlines. Experience reviewing the work of associates and/or senior associates and providing coaching and technical guidance. Eligibility to work in the U.S., without sponsorship, required. We could split: Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (4-year degree, 3 years experience, license eligible for CPA, CMI, Law License/JD). Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (education, experience, etc). Skills: maybe the analytical, research, communication, collaboration, coaching abilities. But that would duplicate some content (experience, etc). Better to keep Qualifications include all preferred qualifications, and maybe Skills not needed. However we need to follow instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine Preferred Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section. That seems fine. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits. We must not include Schedule. Now craft content. About the role: combine overview paragraph and job description paragraph.
