Christian Wolff, a mental calculator, works as a forensic accountant at ZZZ Accounting in Plainfield, Illinois, tracking insider financial deceptions for numerous criminal enterprises brokered to him by a Voice on his phone, from a restricted number. As a child, Christian had been diagnosed with a high-functioning form of autism and offered an opportunity to live at Harbor Neuroscience Institute in New Hampshire. Although Christian had bonded with Justine, the mute daughter of the institute's director, his father declined, believing that Christian should overcome the hardships inherent in his condition rather than expect the world to be accommodating. The pressure of raising a special-needs child later drove Christian's mother to leave him and his younger brother, Braxton, with their father, a decorated military officer, who arranged for them to receive extensive training in combat skills, including martial arts and sharpshooting. Christian now uses those skills to protect himself in his dangerous life as an auditor of criminal enterprises, a job for which he accepts payment in various forms such as rare comics, gold bricks, and paintings by famous artists.
Christian is being pursued by Raymond King, the director of FinCEN in the Treasury Department, who knows Christian by the alias "The Accountant". King blackmails young data analyst Marybeth Medina into helping him identify and arrest the Accountant prior to his retirement, threatening to expose her undeclared criminal past if she refuses. King's only leads are Christian's numerous cover names.The Voice gives Christian his next assignment, auditing state-of-the-art robotics corporation Living Robotics, whose in-house accountant, Dana Cummings, has found suspicious financial discrepancies. The company's CEO, Lamar Blackburn, and his sister and associate Rita Blackburn willingly cooperate with Christian's investigation, while CFO Ed Chilton dismisses Dana's findings as a mistake. Christian ignores Dana's previous work, but impresses her by quickly discovering that $61 million dollars has been embezzled from the company, and they build a reserved rapport. Chilton, who is diabetic, is confronted in his home by a hitman, who forces him to self-administer a fatal insulin overdose by threatening to kill both him and his wife brutally in the manner of a home invasion. Later, Lamar surmises to Christian that Chilton embezzled the money and was driven to suicide out of guilt. Rita closes the investigation, leaving Christian distraught as he has not completed his study.
