I own a small firm, so here would be my hope in this situation. Before you accept the offer, tell your employer that you have another offer. I get there may be some hesitation there since theoretically the new employer could pull the offer, but if that happens, you probably didn’t wanna work there anyway.
Second, given the current market, and the fact that it’s the middle of tax season, I would try to give more than two weeks notice. Maybe 30 days. Turnover can kill small firms and it takes more than 2 weeks to replace you.
Tell the firm they gave you the offer that you don’t wanna leave your current employer hanging, so you may not be able to start for 30 days. The response to that will tell you what it’s like to work there. 
This is very good advice. I second it.
That much of an increase is hard to ignore. I would take it if the offer was real and in writing.
That is a terrible look, especially in accounting where talent is in high demand and big pay jumps like yours are rare👌A Cruise Ship industry is also
currently in need of 14 workers. They pay
upto $7k per 3 weeks, I believe they're more
in search of Remote Merchandise staffs, it's about
keeping records of Food&Beverage sales. is
anyone in for it?
I'd inform you that the required age is from 20-65 and you must be fluent in English. If you're qualified then write me on Wh@tspp for more info and job description.+ 1 (9 7 1) 2 3 7 - 3 8 6 1.
With an explanation like that, it's perfectly reasonable. I don't think anyone who matters would judge you poorly for it as long it's not pattern of short stays.
Thank you for the input!
I do not believe you possess the IQ or the ability to perform those jobs, including your current position. If you were sufficiently capable, you would not need to ask such a question here.
What an arrogant response….And you probably don’t possess the iq to ever be more than a controller…. I find it shocking that you concluded from a 3-4 sentence long paragraph that OP isnt smart.
OP, as someone who recently got a pay raise from $125k to $175k, congratulations!!! Make sure you celebrate because the feeling goes away after a few weeks. Take the job and money and stay there for a few years. When someone asks you in the future why you only stayed 6 months, a 50% raise should suffice as an answer.
Somebody else posted a very good response on how to handle this situation carefully and amicably. Timing of this event is somewhat convenient with 4/15 right around corner. Leave on good terms. Local firms gossip with each other.
Honestly, if you feel you can handle the work, take the new job. It's not just higher pay, it'll let you grow your skills further. These days, no company is worth turning down opportunity for both growth and higher pay, regardless of how long you've been there.
I referred a friend. They got the job. Came from a regional firm. They couldnt handle the work. Quit within 6 months. It can be a tough transition if the work is different and learning curve isnt built in. this person had 8 years of experience at their prior firm. couldnt handle as a manager in big4.
