Tax Senior, State and Local Tax

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present with real content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must include only sections with real specific content. Must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes salary ranges: "National Range: $73,500 - $131,250 Maryland Range: $73,500 - $131,250 NYC/Long Island/Westchester Range: $73,500 - $131,250 Washington DC Range: $73,500 - $131,250". So we have pay info. So we can include a Pay section with that info. Benefits: there is a paragraph about benefits: "BDO provides assurance... ESOP... Learn more about our benefits: BDO Total Rewards encompass more than traditional benefits. Click here to find out more ! Benefits may be subject to eligibility requirements." That's generic but mentions benefits. It's not specific details but it's still content about benefits. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits (mention of ESOP, Total Rewards). So we can include Benefits section with that prose. Schedule: not mentioned. So omit Schedule. We need sections: About the role? The posting includes "Job Summary JOB DESCRIPTION" then description. Could treat that as About the role. Could also have Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We must not create empty sections. We need to parse content: The job description includes many duties under headings like Research Job Duties, Tax Compliance, Tax Consulting, Tax Controversy, Tax Related Software, Tax Specialization, Accounting For Income Taxes – SFAS109, Strategy Development, Supervisory Responsibilities, Other duties as required. Those are responsibilities. We can group them under Responsibilities as a list. Education Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: includes Education, Experience, License/Certifications, Software, Language, Other Knowledge, Skills & Abilities (list). So we can have Requirements (or Qualifications) section. Skills: maybe separate Skills section from the "Other Knowledge, Skills & Abilities". But we can combine into Requirements or Skills. The rule: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience/licenses/skills), Benefits, Pay. We must not repeat job title. Use

for each section heading. We must use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use

  . We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can condense into lists but must keep all info. That's a lot. We need to include each bullet point from the responsibilities and qualifications. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, navigation, cookie, legal, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes "Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Must remove that. Also "Learn more about our benefits: BDO Total Rewards encompass more than traditional benefits. Click here to find out more !" That's benefits info but includes a click here link; we can keep the prose but maybe drop the link? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The benefits paragraph is not boilerplate; it's about benefits. We can keep it but maybe remove the "Click here to find out more !" as it's like a link instruction; could be considered navigation? Might be safer to keep the sentence but maybe drop the "Click here to find out more !" as it's not substantive. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; the link is not substantive. So we can omit that. Also "Benefits may be subject to eligibility requirements." is substantive. We need to include the salary ranges exactly. We need to include the "About Us" paragraph? That's about the company; could be considered About the role? Might be considered boilerplate? It's describing BDO values. It's not directly about the role but could be considered "About Us". The instruction: we should include sections only when posting has real, specific content for it. The "About Us" is present; we could include an "About the company" section but not required. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't list About Us. So we likely should not add a section for About Us; we could incorporate that into About the role? But the About the role heading is for role description. The About Us is separate. Since not in allowed headings, we should omit it. The instruction: "Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples; we could also use other headings if needed? But better to stick to those. So we will not include About Us. Thus we will output:

  About the role

  Job Summary ... (the initial paragraph).

  Then Responsibilities: we need to list all duties from the various headings. We need to extract each duty statement. Let's parse the responsibilities section: After "Job Summary JOB DESCRIPTION The Tax Senior, State and Local Tax, applies industry knowledge and experience to clients by assisting in providing advice related to tax implications of their business objectives, recommend alternate courses of action, as well as identify different methods of complying with tax regulations.
