Things can get hectic when deciding to leave your employer. However, it’s important to remember to write your letter of resignation right away in order to set a professional tone and provide adequate notice of your intentions; usually two weeks is customary. Your bookkeeper resignation letter doesn’t have to be long and drawn out. Just be sure to include your formal intention to resign and your anticipated last day of work.

Dear Ms. Anthony,
I am writing this letter to inform you that I will be leaving my position as bookkeeper with Alpha Industries in order to return to school for my Master’s degree in Accounting. My final day will be May 30, 2015 in order to allow me time to prepare for the upcoming summer semester.
I feel that this decision will have a positive impact on my career growth and that now is a good time to take this step. Thank you so much for the opportunity I have been provided to learn solid accounting practices and to gain the practical experience needed to continue forward in this field. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here and am fortunate to have had the chance to get to know such great co-workers, as well.
I will finish out the reports and assignments that are due up until the end of May. I want to be sure to make my departure as easy on everyone here as possible. Feel free to reach out to me at 000-000-0000 if you have questions.
Sincerely,
Natasha Flanders
