Tax Associate, State and Local Tax | San Diego Summer/Fall 2026

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph: "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.

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" section. Then "Responsibilities" list: many bullet-like sentences separated by spaces? Actually they are concatenated with no line breaks. We need to split into list items. The responsibilities 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 separate each responsibility. Likely each sentence ends before next capital letter? Let's split: 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 "Qualifications" section: The posting includes "Qualifications" heading then details. Must include "Qualifications" heading if there is content. The qualifications text: "Must be pursuing and have obtained by the start date or have completed the following degrees/majors in the past 12 months: Bachelors and/or Masters in accounting, finance, taxation, mathematics, economics, information technology, data and analytics, engineering (financial, industrial or systems), or equivalent program from an accredited college or universityPreferred: Degrees and/or areas of study: Accounting and TaxationMust be pursuing the state-specific education requirements to be a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in the principal place of business (the state in which the office is located) for this position, with completion of required academic credits prior to the start date for this positionPreferred GPA of 3.0 or aboveCoursework or minor in information systems, software engineering, computer science or data and analytics preferredStrong tax research skillsStrong in technical, business acumen, critical thinking and agility skills.

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)" We need to separate into list items maybe. But we can keep as prose? The instruction: Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. So qualifications is a list of requirements; we should use

  • . However some parts are not clearly separate items. We can split by sentences or by logical breaks. Let's split qualifications into items: - Must be pursuing and have obtained by the start date or have completed the following degrees/majors in the past 12 months: Bachelors and/or Masters in accounting, finance, taxation, mathematics, economics, information technology, data and analytics, engineering (financial, industrial or systems), or equivalent program from an accredited college or university - Preferred: Degrees and/or areas of study: Accounting and Taxation - Must be pursuing the state-specific education requirements to be a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in the principal place of business (the state in which the office is located) for this position, with completion of required academic credits prior to the start date for this position - Preferred GPA of 3.0 or above - Coursework or minor in information systems, software engineering, computer science or data and analytics preferred - Strong tax research skills - Strong in technical, business acumen, critical thinking and agility skills. Demonstrated ability to excel and drive strategic outcomes, coupled with a professional demeanor and a collaborative leadership approach, in a dynamic, evolving environment - Demonstrated quality service mindset, strong technical aptitude, ability to learn and navigate technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), Alteryx and Power BI, MS Office Applications including Excel, PowerPoint, Word and Outlook and apply emerging technologies to enhance tax processes and insights - Excellent communication, time management and leadership skills, feedback oriented, and resourceful in delivering high quality work - Must reside within a reasonably commutable distance to the office for this position and be able to travel to reasonably commutable work locations using own means of transportation, such as a personal vehicle or public transportation - Ability to travel and/or work on-site at client premises as needed, at times with relatively short notice - Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship now or in the future. 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) Now "Skills" section: The posting may not have a separate Skills heading; but we have many skill mentions within qualifications. However we could create a Skills section if there is explicit content. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading; but we could still create a Skills section if we extract skill statements. However instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. There's no explicit Skills heading, but we could still create a Skills section if we treat skill statements as content. However we already have Qualifications covering many skill items. Might be redundant. Better to not create a Skills section unless there is explicit Skills heading. The posting didn't have a separate Skills heading; we can omit. "Benefits" section: The posting includes benefits description: "In addition, KPMG is proud to offer a comprehensive, competitive benefits package, with options designed to help you make the best decisions for yourself, your family, and your lifestyle. Available benefits are based on eligibility. Our Total Rewards package includes a variety of medical and dental plans, vision coverage, disability and life insurance, 401(k) plans, and a robust suite of personal well-being benefits to support your mental health. Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year. Additionally, each year KPMG publishes a calendar of holidays to be observed during the year and provides eligible employees two breaks each year where employees will not be required to use Personal Time Off; one is at year end and the other is around the July 4th holiday. Additional details about our benefits can be found towards the bottom of our KPMG US Careers site at Benefits & How We Work." That's substantive benefits content. So we should include Benefits section with
    • for list items. "Pay" section: The posting includes salary range: "California Salary Range: $76000 - $100000" and also mention of pay transparency link. Also "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." So we have pay info. Should include Pay section with that info. Could be a

      with the range. "Schedule" section: The posting does not mention schedule specifics (like full-time, hours). Not present. So omit Schedule. "About the role": we have intro paragraph. Could be a

      . Now we need to strip boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, visa sponsorship details? Actually visa sponsorship is part of qualifications (must be authorized to work in US without sponsorship). That's substantive. Keep. We must remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, application instructions. The posting includes EEO statement at end: "KPMG is an equal opportunity employer..." That's boilerplate; remove. Also "KPMG complies with all applicable federal..." etc. Remove. Also "The attached link contains further information regarding KPMG's compliance..." Remove. Also "No phone calls or agencies please." Remove. Also "KPMG recruits on a rolling basis..." etc. That's application instructions; remove. Also "Los Angeles County applicants: Material job duties..." that's specific legal notice; might be considered boilerplate? It's location-specific but still maybe considered legal. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is a Fair Chance Act notice; might be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to remove? It's not EEO but it's a legal notice. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So legal
