Cultural references to accountants have appeared in popular music and in film.
Popular music
There are at least two cultural references to accountants in popular music:
- Joe Walsh's Life's Been Good has the rhyme "I go to hotels, tear out the walls/I have accountants pay for it all" describing the narrator's eccentric behavior.
- Bowling for Soup's 1985 has the rhyme "One Prozac a day/Husband's a CPA" describing a woman's ordinary life.

- The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947)
- The Producers (1968)
