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.

I'd have to agree with Mommy about an e-mail. It wouldn't matter how long you worked there or how happy/unhappy you were, an e-mail is not much better than just not showing up for work. Write a letter and hand it to the boss. You will be glad you did. If the boss asks you why you are leaving just tell him/her that is for personal reasons. You don't owe then an explanation.

Thank you all so much for the advice. Waiting to here if i'm offered the position, should hear by later today. If offered to me, I will be going the letter in person route and hopefully all will go well.

As far as experience signoff is concerned, If he refuses to sign off out of sheer stupidity can I call someone (AICPA, State Board?) I've done the work and exceed the requirement, that I'm sure of, but if he chooses to not signoff then I fail to meet that requirement for license. All advice is helpful on this as well.

Get that signoff first, if you can… better to be safe than sorry.

How long will the signoff be valid? a yr? or 6 months?
