We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info; remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the job description. Key content: - Intro: "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. We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Tax Senior Associate to join our Transaction Advisory Services practice in one of our offices!" - "YOUR TEAM. This position will support our rapidly growing Transaction Advisory Services group. This team conducts tax due diligence and tax transaction structuring/modeling engagements and supports clients across a wide range of industries. As a Tax Manager, you will work collaboratively with the TAS Tax practice leader to manage private equity and strategic buyer/seller engagements on a full spectrum of middle-market acquisition and disposition transactions, including tax due diligence reviews, transaction structuring, research, and post-transaction planning and implementation/coordination." - "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. Whether it’s working alongside your peers to solve a client challenge, or volunteering together at the local food bank, there are so many ways to find your “why” at the firm. 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 & development, and even paid time off for employees to volunteer." - "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: Manage buy-side and sell-side tax due diligence engagements for both private equity and strategic corporate buyers. Identify potential material income and non-income tax exposures in tax due diligence engagements. Analyze proposed acquisition, sale, and restructuring transactions. Perform quantitative analyses to assess the tax consequences of various transaction structures. Identify value-adding post-transaction planning opportunities and projects." - "Your Experience. The successful candidate will have: Bachelor’s degree in accounting preferred. 1-3 years of tax experience in tax preparation and/or transaction advisory services. CPA, MST, JD, LLM a plus. Strong technical knowledge of C corporation, Subchapter S Corporation, and partnership taxation issues. Experience with non-income taxes, including sale/use taxes, payroll taxes, etc. Excellent analytical and critical thinking skills. Strong written and verbal communication and presentation skills. Strong project management with the ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously in a collaborative environment. Action-oriented, decisive approach to work required, with the willingness to take a hands-on role to ensure the deliverables are met on time with high quality." - Then there is a paragraph about Universal Job Standards, encouraging to apply even if not meeting all qualifications. That's boilerplate? It's about encouraging applications, maybe keep? It's not a list of duties/requirements/benefits. It's more about inclusive hiring. Might be considered EEO boilerplate? It's not exactly EEO but encouraging to apply. Could be considered generic. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This paragraph is about encouraging to apply even if not meeting all qualifications; it's not strictly EEO but similar to inclusive language. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove. - Then: "In Illinois, the salary range for a Advisory Senior Associate is $85,000 to $130,000. Actual compensation within the range will be dependent upon the individual's skills, experience, qualifications and location, and applicable employment laws. 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." - Then: "To learn more about life at CohnReznick, visit Life at CohnReznick ." That's a link; maybe considered application instruction? It's a reference to learn more; could be considered boilerplate. Probably remove. - Then: brand name description, alternative practice structure, etc. That's boilerplate legal; remove. - Then: EEO statement, contact for accommodation, etc. Remove. - Then: note about unsolicited resumes, etc. Remove. Thus we need to keep substantive content: intro about firm, team description, why CohnReznick (mission, benefits), responsibilities, experience/qualifications, salary range and total rewards details. We need to structure into sections with

    headings. Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

      for prose. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe intro), Responsibilities, Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (maybe combine), Benefits, Pay (salary), maybe Schedule? No schedule info given, so omit. We should not create sections with filler. So we will include sections where we have real content. Potential sections: - About the role (or About the firm/Team) - we have intro about firm and team description. Could be "About the role" or "About the team". Use

      About the role

      with prose. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: combine experience, education, skills. - Benefits: from WHY COHNREZNICK? includes generous PTO, flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, paid time off to volunteer. Also from salary paragraph: discretionary performance bonus, generous paid time off, expanded and inclusive parental benefits, access to best-in-class learning and development platforms. Combine. - Pay: salary range $85,000 to $130,000 (for Advisory Senior Associate in Illinois). Note: The job title is Tax Senior Associate but they give salary for Advisory Senior Associate; still it's salary info. We'll include Pay section. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't have

      Tax Senior Associate

      . We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics: e.g., "Manage buy-side and sell-side tax due diligence engagements for both private equity and strategic corporate buyers." etc. We need to use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities, we should list each bullet as
      • . For Requirements, we can list each qualification as
      • . For Benefits, list each benefit as
      • . For Pay, we can just give prose

        with salary range. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. Now, we need to strip out any duplicated lines. The posting had some duplicated lines like "Responsibilities Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:" we need to handle that. Let's extract content precisely.
