I’m in a bit of a situation here. My company’s going through an audit.. it hasn’t actually started but will soon so were preparing for it. Here’s my dilemma, I can’t take this job any longer. I want out.. for a number of reasons. I’ve only been with the company 9 months. My FAR credit expires on 8/27 and I have Regulation and Audit left to take. I really wanna just quit and study full time for my exams because I do not want to lose my FAR credit. My only concern is that my company is small.. and i am the only staff accountant so i would feel really bad leaving them during this difficult time…

I know i’m gonna burn bridges.. i dont have time to give them 2 weeks. i jsut wanna leave so bad and just focus on my exams.

has anyone been in a similar situation?

I am not in the exact situation, but I quit to be able to allocate more time for studying. I had tried once before and failed REG right before tax season. I knew I wasn't going to be able to study during tax season and more responsibilities just kept being added to my workload after tax season. I decided that I needed to just worry about myself before anyone else. So, after things settled down towards the end of the year, I put in my notice. I don't think you should worry about the work load increasing for others. I don't think there will ever be a right time to leave a job if we prioritized this concern. At the end of the day, you need to do what's best for yourself. Your coworkers will never hold the things that you want to achieve in their priorities. If you see this being beneficial to you and you can afford to do it, I 100% recommend just going for it.
