Need the perfect costume for your office Halloween party? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. If it’s for a work party, it could be fun to show up dressed in an accounting-themed costume. Check out these costume ideas here:

Halloween Costume Ideas for Accountants

Calculator 

First up, we have a classic: a calculator. It’s pretty obvious why this is an obvious one when talking about accountants. If you’re trying to keep the costume low-key and reusable, you can just wear a calculator T-shirt. 

IRS tax form 

There's nothing scarier than the IRS...let alone their forms. This costume will take a little arts and crafting, but if you’re feeling extra creative then you should go for it. Just get a big poster board, make it look like any IRS form and wear it around your neck. 

Count Dracula 

For this one, you could add a classic green accounting visor to the vampire look and voila: Count Dracula! Get it? 

Louis Tully (Ghostbusters)

Played by Rick Moranis, Louis is an accountant who gets caught up in the supernatural chaos. A grey or tan suit, oversized glasses, and a slightly nerdy, nervous demeanor would complete the look. But if you have a ghostbusters outfit, all the better!

Kevin Malone with his famous chili 

Dressing up as this lovable accountant from the hit TV show “The Office,” has definitely garnered popularity in recent years. Some people have even dressed up their babies as Kevin with his chili! All you need is a balding wig (or, depending on your hairstyle, maybe not) and a big pot. Simple, easy and fun. 

Money

This one’s pretty self explanatory...you’ll be dressed up as money. Well, a “million bucks” to be exact. You can find this costume on Amazon.

Death and Taxes

If you have a significant other or a friend to dress up with you, one of you dresses up as an IRS agent and the other dresses up as the grim reaper!

Scary accountant or auditor

If you’re looking for a shirt to wear throughout the month of October (that can double for a Halloween costume) we’ve got the perfect thing for you: the “This Is My Scary Accountant Costume” T-shirt. Or, for auditors, there’s also the “This Is My Scary Auditor Costume” T-shirt.

Christian Wolff (The Accountant)

Ben Affleck’s character is a high-functioning accountant with a twist—he’s also a skilled fighter. Wear a buttoned-up shirt, glasses, and carry around a fake gun holster (if the setting allows), or a calculator for a safer option.

Chef

Another punny costume idea from another Reddit user. This one’s pretty clever. Wear a chef costume and put some books in a frying pan. You’ll be cooking the books.
