We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro paragraphs about KPMG culture etc. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove visa sponsorship statements? That's part of qualifications maybe. We need to keep qualifications etc. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: Intro: "At KPMG, you can become an integral part of a dynamic team at one of the top tax firms in the world. Enjoy a collaborative, future-forward culture that empowers your success. Work with KPMGs extensive network of specialists and enjoy access to our Ignition Centers, where deep industry knowledge merges with cutting-edge technologies to create innovative tax solutions. Join a diverse team helping high-profile clients understand, analyze and respond to complex business opportunities and challenges. Develop your career through a range of multifaceted engagements, formal training and informal mentoring. At KPMG, we put our culture and values front and center. KPMG is currently seeking a Tax Associate to join our State & Local Tax practice." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". We'll put that in

About the role

then

with that content. Responsibilities: list after "Responsibilities:" then a long sentence with many items separated by maybe line breaks? The text: "Assist multi-state companies with state and local tax issues (income/franchise, sales/use, excise and property tax) including compliance, consulting, planning and controversiesAssist clients with business tax planning transactions and mergers and acquisitions including identifying and developing state and local tax issues and savings opportunities that arise from legal entity changes/transactions and in designing specific plans to help a business address its state and local tax mattersResearch and draft state and local tax technical memorandaAssist with M&A transactions involving acquisitions and dispositions of equity interests (e.g., corporate stock, LLC membership interests, etc.) and/or business assetsSupervising the work of shared services team members and interns; assist in handling notices including coordination of shared resources Analyze, prepare and review tax workpapers and returns, estimated payments and extensions; stay current on state and local tax legislative, judicial and administrative developmentsBuild capabilities in key technologies that enable tax professionals for client service delivery such as artificial intelligence (AI), Alteryx, Power BI and moreWork as part of a multi-disciplinary team to develop and sustain excellent client relationships" We need to split into list items. Likely each sentence is a responsibility. We'll create

  • for each. Qualifications: after "Qualifications:" then a block. We'll need to separate maybe into Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We have both "Qualifications:" and also "Preferred GPA" etc. Might treat everything under Qualifications. Could also split into Requirements (must be pursuing degree etc) and Skills (technical aptitude etc). But we need to follow instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple sections: Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We need to decide what content belongs where. The posting includes: "Qualifications:" then bullet-like sentences: Must be pursuing and have obtained by the start date or have completed the following degrees/majors... Preferred: Degrees and/or areas of study: Accounting and Taxation... Must be pursuing the state-specific education requirements to be a licensed CPA... Preferred GPA of 3.0 or above... Coursework or minor in information systems... Strong tax research skills... Strong in technical, business acumen, critical thinking and agility skills... Demonstrated ability to excel... Demonstrated quality service mindset... Excellent communication, time management and leadership skills... Must reside within a reasonably commutable distance... Ability to travel and/or work on-site... Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship... Then later: "In addition, KPMG is proud to offer a comprehensive, competitive benefits package..." then details about benefits. Then "California Salary Range: $76000 - $100000". Also "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." Also "Additional details about our benefits can be found towards the bottom of our KPMG US Careers site at Benefits & How We Work." Also "Follow this link to obtain salary ranges by city outside of CA: https://kpmg.com/us/en/how-we-work/pay-transparency.html/?id=UTASLN_6_24". Also "California Salary Range: $76000 - $100000". Also "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." Also "KPMG is an equal opportunity employer..." etc (boilerplate to remove). Also "No phone calls or agencies please." etc (application instructions to remove). Also "Los Angeles County applicants: Material job duties for this position are listed above..." etc (legal boilerplate to remove). Also "Pursuant to the California Fair Chance Act..." etc (legal to remove). Also "KPMG recruits on a rolling basis..." etc (application instructions to remove). Also "Candidates are considered as they apply..." etc (remove). Also "Candidates are encouraged to apply expeditiously..." (remove). Also "Los Angeles County applicants: Material job duties..." (remove). Also "Pursuant to the California Fair Chance Act..." (remove). Also "KPMG LLP and its affiliates..." (visa sponsorship) maybe keep as part of qualifications? It's about work authorization; could be considered qualification. We'll keep that as part of Qualifications. We need to remove duplicated lines: there is duplicate "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." appears twice? Actually appears once near benefits and again later. We'll keep only one. We need to keep salary range info: California Salary Range: $76000 - $100000 and link for other cities. That's Pay section. Benefits: we have description of benefits: medical/dental plans, vision, disability, life insurance, 401(k), personal well-being, PTO, holidays, breaks. We'll put that under Benefits. Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. There's no schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section. Skills: Could extract technical skills: AI, Alteryx, Power BI, MS Office, etc. Also "Strong tax research skills", "Strong in technical, business acumen, critical thinking and agility skills", "Excellent communication, time management and leadership skills". Could put under Skills. Requirements: maybe the degree requirements, CPA pursuit, GPA, residency, work authorization. Could be Requirements. Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications like degree in Accounting/Taxation, coursework minor, etc. But the instruction says we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. We'll split. Let's decide: - Requirements: Must be pursuing and have obtained by start date or have completed Bachelors/Masters in listed fields; Must be pursuing state-specific education requirements to be a licensed CPA in principal place of business, with completion of required academic credits prior to start date; Must reside within reasonably commutable distance; Ability to travel/work on-site as needed; Must be authorized to work in US without need for employment-based visa sponsorship (no sponsorship). Also Preferred GPA of 3.0 or above? Could be requirement or preferred. We'll put GPA as preferred maybe under Qualifications. - Qualifications (Preferred): Preferred GPA 3.0 or above; Coursework or minor in information systems, software engineering, computer science or data and analytics preferred; Preferred degrees/areas of study: Accounting and Taxation; Strong tax research skills; Strong in technical, business acumen, critical thinking and agility skills; Demonstrated ability to excel and drive strategic outcomes, coupled with professional demeanor and collaborative leadership approach; Demonstrated quality service mindset; Excellent communication, time management and leadership skills, feedback oriented, resourceful; Ability to learn and navigate technologies such as AI, Alteryx and Power BI, MS Office Applications including Excel, PowerPoint, Word and Outlook and apply emerging technologies to enhance tax processes and insights. But some of those overlap with Skills. We'll maybe put technical skills under Skills. Skills: Strong tax research skills; Strong in technical, business acumen, critical thinking and agility skills; Demonstrated ability to excel and drive strategic outcomes...; Demonstrated quality service mindset; Excellent communication, time management and leadership skills; Ability to learn and navigate technologies such as AI, Alteryx and Power BI, MS Office Applications; Apply emerging technologies to enhance tax processes and insights. But we need to avoid duplication. We'll keep Skills separate. Let's extract responsibilities list items clearly: 1. Assist multi-state companies with state and local tax issues (income/franchise, sales/use, excise and property tax) including compliance, consulting, planning and controversies 2. Assist clients with business tax planning transactions and mergers and acquisitions including identifying and developing state and local tax issues and savings opportunities that arise from legal entity changes/transactions and in designing specific plans to help a business address its state and local tax matters 3. Research and draft state and local tax technical memoranda 4. Assist with M&A transactions involving acquisitions and dispositions of equity interests (e.g., corporate stock, LLC membership interests, etc.) and/or business assets 5. Supervising the work of shared services team members and interns; assist in handling notices including coordination of shared resources 6. Analyze, prepare and review tax workpapers and returns, estimated payments and extensions; stay current on state and local tax legislative, judicial and administrative developments 7. Build capabilities in key technologies that enable tax professionals for client service delivery such as artificial intelligence (AI), Alteryx, Power BI and more 8. Work as part of a multi-disciplinary team to develop and sustain excellent client relationships Now Benefits: list items: - Medical and dental plans - Vision coverage - Disability and life insurance - 401(k) plans - Robust suite of personal well-being benefits to support mental health - Personal Time Off per fiscal year (based on job classification, standard work hours, years of service) - Calendar of holidays observed during the year - Two breaks each year where employees will not be required to use Personal Time Off (year end and around July 4th) We'll put as
      . Pay: California Salary Range: $76000 - $100000. Also link for other cities: https://kpmg.com/us/en/how-we-work/pay-transparency.html/?id=UTASLN_6_24 We'll put Pay section with that info. Now About the role: we have the intro paragraph(s). We'll combine into one

      . Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "KPMG is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Remove. Also remove "KPMG LLP will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work visa status for this opportunity (no sponsorship is available for H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, F-1, J-1, OPT, CPT or any other employment-based visa)". That's about work authorization; we kept a summarized version: "Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship". We'll keep that but not the list. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat the job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add

      Tax Associate

      . Good. Now produce HTML fragment: sections in order: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Ensure each heading

      then content. We need to wrap list items
