We need to output HTML fragment with headings .
Now Requirements: maybe "Minimum 3-5 years tax experience in a public accounting firm" and "Commercial Services industry experience preferred". Also maybe "Exceptional client service and communication skills with a demonstrated ability to develop and maintain outstanding client relationships" but that's more skill. Let's decide: Requirements = experience and industry experience. We'll include:
- Minimum 3-5 years tax experience in a public accounting firm
- Commercial Services industry experience preferred
Now Qualifications: education and certifications:
- Bachelor's Degree required
- Master's in Accounting/Taxation preferred
- CPA, JD or EA preferred
Now Skills: list:
- Exceptional client service and communication skills with a demonstrated ability to develop and maintain outstanding client relationships
- Strong tax research and writing skills
- Proven technical skills with MS Office to include Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook
- Competence with tax compliance and research software to include Go Systems, BNA portfolio and projection, CCH, RIA
- Solid project management and organizational skills with a demonstrated ability to multi-task
Now Benefits: list:
- Generous PTO
- Flexible work environment
- Expanded parental leave
- Extensive learning and development
- Paid time off for employees to volunteer
- Discretionary performance bonus
- Inclusive parental benefits (maybe same as expanded)
- Access to best-in-class learning and development platforms
We can combine.
Now Pay: salary range: $85,000 to $140,000.
Now Schedule: hybrid expectation: average 3 days a week in office.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat info. Also ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed those.
Now produce HTML.
We'll start with
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. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented or summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must include Pay section only if posting actually states them. The posting includes salary range: "In New York, the salary range for a Tax Senior Associate is $85,000 to $140,000." So we can have Pay section with that info. Benefits: The posting mentions "generous PTO, a flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning, and development, and even paid time off for employees to volunteer." Also later: "Salary is one component of the CohnReznick total rewards package, which includes a discretionary performance bonus, generous paid time off, expanded, and inclusive parental benefits, and access to best-in-class learning and development platforms, to name a few." So we can include Benefits section with those details. Schedule: The posting mentions hybrid, expected in office average 3 days a week. So we can include Schedule section with that. About the role: There's a paragraph describing the firm and the role? There's "YOUR TEAM." and "WHY COHNREZNICK?" and "YOUR ROLE." We need to decide sections: About the role could be a summary of the role and team. Could combine "YOUR TEAM." and maybe "WHY COHNREZNICK?" as about the firm? But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map content accordingly. Responsibilities: list from "Responsibilities include but not limited to:" bullet list. Requirements: maybe "Your Experience." includes required qualifications: Bachelor's Degree required; Master's preferred; CPA, JD or EA preferred; Minimum 3-5 years tax experience in a public accounting firm; Commercial Services industry experience preferred; Exceptional client service and communication skills; Strong tax research and writing skills; Proven technical skills with MS Office; Competence with tax compliance and research software; Solid project management and organizational skills. Qualifications: maybe overlapping with Requirements? Could separate: Qualifications could be education and certifications? But we must not duplicate content. We can decide: Requirements = experience and skills; Qualifications = education/degrees/certifications. However the instruction says use headings only when posting has real specific content for it. We can include both if we have distinct content. Skills: maybe technical skills list. But we must avoid thin sections. Let's see what we have: - About the role: we have description of firm, team, why CohnReznick, hybrid work. Could be a paragraph. - Responsibilities: bullet list. - Requirements: maybe "Minimum 3-5 years tax experience..." etc. - Qualifications: "Bachelor's Degree required; Master's in Accounting/Taxation preferred; CPA, JD or EA preferred" - Skills: "Exceptional client service and communication skills... Strong tax research and writing skills... Proven technical skills with MS Office... Competence with tax compliance and research software... Solid project management and organizational skills..." - Benefits: list of benefits. - Pay: salary range. - Schedule: hybrid expectation 3 days a week. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we capture all substantive info. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine description: "As CohnReznick grows, so do our 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. CohnReznick currently has an exciting career opportunity for a Tax Senior Associate to join our Commercial Services Team in one of our New York Metro offices. 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. YOUR TEAM. CohnReznick’s Commercial Services Industry Group focuses on serving clients in the Consumer, Hospitality, and Manufacturing & Distribution sectors. The group works with middle‑market and growth‑oriented companies, providing integrated advisory, assurance, and tax services tailored to the operational, financial, and regulatory challenges these industries face. WHY COHNREZNICK? At CohnReznick, we’re united by a common mission to create opportunity, value, and trust for our clients, our people, and our communities.

We believe it’s important to balance work with everyday life – and make time for enjoyment and fun. We invest in a robust Total Rewards package that includes everything from generous PTO, a flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning, and development, and even paid time off for employees to volunteer." That is a lot but okay. But we might split some of that into Benefits section later. However About the role can include firm description and team and why. Now Responsibilities: list bullet points from "Responsibilities include but not limited to:" then each line. Let's extract: - Serve as the engagement lead on specific client accounts - Take responsibility for pre-engagement planning, execution, and final deliverables - Assist with the process and review of various returns - Must be able to perform various financial analysis including but not limited to balance sheets and income statements - Experience in managing the process of financial statement preparation of compilations and reviews is a plus - Prepare and review monthly, quarterly and annual year-end tax projections - Willing to work on various ad hoc projects as needed during the year - Actively participate in proposals - Manage a team of staff associates, including interns, while providing regular performance coaching and feedback - Gain the respect and confidence of the CR team through effective client management, timely and accurate communication, and clear and concise direction and leadership We'll put each as

Make sure no extra whitespace? It's fine. Let's craft the About the role paragraph concisely but preserving all substantive info. Might be long but okay. We need to avoid repeating content that appears elsewhere (like benefits). In About the role we included mention of Total Rewards package etc. That duplicates Benefits. To avoid duplication, we could remove that sentence from About the role and keep only in Benefits. Let's adjust. About the role should focus on firm description, team, why, hybrid nature, etc. We'll keep the hybrid schedule mention? But schedule is separate section; we could mention hybrid nature but not specific days. It's okay to mention hybrid but not duplicate schedule details. We'll keep generic hybrid mention.
