Tax Associate - Chicago, IL - Class of 2027

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Keep all substantive info. We need to parse the job description. Key parts: - Intro: "As CohnReznick grows..." etc. That's about the firm. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the firm". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role (maybe summarizing firm description), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's extract content: - About the role / firm description: "As CohnReznick grows, so do our exceptional career opportunities. As one of the nation’s top professional services firms, CohnReznick creates rewarding careers in advisory, assurance, and tax with team members who value innovation and collaboration in everything they do! CohnReznick helps organizations optimize performance, manage risk, and maximize value through CohnReznick LLP (assurance services) and CohnReznick Advisory LLC (advisory and tax services). Together, the firm provides leaders with deep industry knowledge and relationships, solutions to address clients’ unique business goals and risks, and insight on how emerging market forces can drive opportunity. With offices nationwide, the firm serves organizations around the world as an independent member of Nexia. We currently have an exciting career opportunity on our Tax teams in our Chicago office for Fall 2027. CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices. This position is considered hybrid, which means team members are expected to be thoughtful and intentional in how they create opportunities for in-person collaboration. While the cadence of in-office presence is determined at the team level, our professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week." That's substantive. Could be placed under "About the role". Also maybe "YOUR TEAM." details: Engagement Team composition, Industries served, Office amenities, Performance Coach, CR Friend. That could be part of About the role or separate sections? The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content accordingly. Responsibilities: "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To As a Tax Associate, you will be responsible for becoming familiar with current tax theories and laws and performing procedures in accordance with firm standards and in an accurate, thorough and timely manner. In addition, you will: Work on a variety of client deliverables including preparation of tax returns, including Individuals, Partnerships and Corporate tax returns. Identify potential tax issues and prepare tax adjusting entries and tax trial balances based on audited or client provided trial balances. Research filing requirements and tax issues using internal revenue code, treasury regulations, and other relevant authorities/guidance. Manage daily client workflow and multiple client projects at any given time. Draft tax technical memorandums." That's responsibilities. Your Experience (requirements/qualifications): "We are looking for highly dedicated professionals with impressive credentials that are driven by new challenges and growth opportunities. We seek team players who believe in providing world-class client service. Successful team members are looking for a work environment that values and promotes camaraderie, collaboration, and giving back to the community. The Successful Candidate Will Have Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Accounting Plan to complete 150 credit hours in order to be CPA licensed Minimum GPA of 3.2 in both your major and overall Leadership positions in extracurricular activities are preferred Prior work or internship experience (experience in accounting is a plus) Exhibit excellent communication skills and demonstrate sharp critical thinking Comfortable navigating fast-paced environments and embracing change Must have advanced skills in Excel, PowerPoint, and eager to learn new technologies Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident" That's qualifications/requirements. Could split into Requirements (education, GPA, citizenship) and Qualifications (leadership, experience) and Skills (Excel, PowerPoint, communication, critical thinking, fast-paced, change). But we need to follow instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have separate sections for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Benefits: "We invest in a robust Total Rewards package that includes everything from generous PTO, a flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, and even paid time off for employees to volunteer." Also earlier: "WHY COHNREZNICK? At CohnReznick, you’ll join a team committed to helping you grow professionally, offering opportunities to build skills, collaborate, and make a meaningful impact throughout your career journey. We believe it’s important to balance work with everyday life – and make time for enjoyment and fun." That's also benefits/culture. Pay: "In Illinois, the salary for a Tax Associate is $79,000. Salary is one component of the CohnReznick total rewards package, which includes a discretionary performance bonus, generous paid time off, expanded, inclusive parental benefits, and access to best-in-class learning and development platforms." Schedule: hybrid info: "CohnReznick is a hybrid firm ... professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week." That's schedule. We need to avoid duplication. Also need to remove boilerplate like "Universal Job Standards", "Life at CohnReznick", EEO statements, etc. We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep specifics like "average 3 days a week", "$79,000", "generous PTO", etc. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. Not present. We must not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add

Tax Associate

. Good. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Thus produce something like:

Schedule

Hybrid position; professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week.

We need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The "YOUR TEAM." section includes Engagement Team composition, Industries served, Office amenities, Performance Coach, CR Friend. That is substantive and not covered elsewhere. Should we include that under About the role? Probably yes, as it's about the role/team. We can incorporate that into About the role paragraph or as a separate subsection? The instruction only allows those headings; we could add a subsection under About the role as a paragraph covering team details. So we need to include that info in About the role. Thus About the role paragraph should include: firm description, hybrid details, team composition, industries served, office amenities, performance coach, CR friend. Let's craft that paragraph. We must not duplicate content already elsewhere. Let's extract team details: "YOUR TEAM. Engagement Team: You will work closely on a team made up of other Interns, Associates, Senior Associates, Managers, Senior Managers, and Partners Industries: We serve a variety of clients across industries, including: Consumer & Industrial, Financial Sponsors & Financial Services, Life Sciences & Healthcare, Public Sector, Real Estate, Renewable Energy, Technology & Media, and Private Client Services (varies by office) Office: Our CohnReznick office comes with amenities and collaborative spaces. Performance Coach: Will meet with you to establish goals, provide feedback and support to guide you along your career path of choice; many of our current Senior Managers and Partners were once CR Associates themselves. CR Friend: Will serve as a familiar face when you join the firm and someone you can always reach out to" We need to include all that. Thus About the role paragraph will be long but okay. Now check for any other substantive info: "WHY COHNREZNICK? At CohnReznick, you’ll join a team committed to helping you grow professionally, offering opportunities to build skills, collaborate, and make a meaningful impact throughout your career journey. We believe it’s important to balance work with everyday life – and make time for enjoyment and fun." That's also benefits/culture; we could incorporate into Benefits section or About the role. Since we already have Benefits section covering tangible benefits, we could add a bullet about "opportunities to build skills, collaborate, and make a meaningful impact" and "balance work with everyday life, enjoyment and fun". But those are more cultural; still could be part of Benefits or About the role. To avoid missing, we can add a bullet under Benefits: "Opportunities to build skills, collaborate, and make a meaningful impact" and "Emphasis on work-life balance, enjoyment, and fun". However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include that info exactly as stated. We can either add a paragraph under Benefits or About the role. Since Benefits section already has a list, we could add those as list items. But we need to be careful not to duplicate. The Benefits section currently includes list items from Total Rewards package. We can add additional items for culture. Alternatively, we could create a separate section "Culture" but not allowed headings. So we must fit into allowed headings. Could add to About the role or Benefits. I'd add to Benefits as additional bullets. Now check Pay section: we have salary $79,000. Also mention that salary is one component of total rewards package which includes discretionary performance bonus, generous PTO, expanded parental benefits, access to best-in-class learning and development platforms. Some of those are already in Benefits; we might duplicate if we list them again. To avoid
