I’ve been working at a CPA firm in NYC for the past 5 years, started here freshman year of College and still here upon graduation. I’ve been looking to move, only because my boss is a total a**hole. I love what I do, Tax, Audit, F/S Prep, etc. and the people I work with, but my boss is so…..

I recently went on a interview for a similar position with similar compensation. I’ve told myself, if they offer me the position I’m taking it to escape this hell I’m in now. Any experience/advice on telling your boss your leaving after being somewhere 5+ yrs? All advice is appreciated.

Just hand him your letter of resignation. You don't have to do anything more than that. You don't owe him any sort of explanation.

Just send him an email with a 2 week notice. You don't need to write any more than that.

[How many letters do you need]

Agree…Short to the point. You may want to ensure a reference though considering you worked there for 5 ueara. If he is the type of ahole who won't give a reference because he's hurt about you leaving, then don't even bother; otherwise it might be helpful to have a face to face first…

MBA,CMA,CPA, CFF?, ABV?

I would deliver the letter in person along with your experience forms that you will need signed off on ( I'm assuming).

If you need experience signed off, do that before you tell them you're leaving
