The answer

Working in the accounting of usurious interest is forbidden by Islamic law, due to the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Allah has cursed the one who consumes usury, the one who feeds it, its scribe, and its two witnesses." The accountant falls under the category of scribe and witness; therefore, it is not permissible to work in this field.
