With the announcement that “The Accountant” is getting a sequel (while the original 2011 Ben Affleck-helmed action thriller tops the Netflix charts), we at Accounting Today got to thinking about the most memorable on-screen accountants.
Fortunately, despite the urge to stereotype members of the profession, this list represents some diversity beyond the caricature of the straitlaced, overworked CPA. Sure, some of those generalizations surface, but some of the most iconic accountant portrayals include a crafty, wrongly imprisoned banker, the investigator who brought down Al Capone, and of course, the aforementioned CPA assassin, among some other favorites of the silver and small screen (including one AICPA cameo).
