WaterTower Music released a soundtrack for The Accountant 2, which is a thrilling action movie and the follow-up to the 2016 movie The Accountant. The original score for the soundtrack was written by Bryce Dessner, who is best known for his work with the band The National.

The soundtrack became digitally available on April 18, 2025, and is now available to stream on Amazon and other major digital music services.

In The Accountant 2, Ben Affleck plays Christian Wolff, a smart but troubled accountant with a dark past. Wolff looks into the death of a former coworker and teams up with Braxton, his estranged brother, to find the truth. In addition to the action, Christian's autism is a big part of how he solves problems in a very special way.

The film's score was composed by Bryce Dessner, who used his trademark mix of spooky and interesting sounds for the job. See-Line Woman, a powerful cover of the Nina Simone classic, gives the action scenes in the movie more emotional weight.

Plot of The Accountant 2

In The Accountant 2, Ben Affleck plays Christian Wolff, a brilliant but troubled autistic accountant who works as a freelance bookkeeper for some of the most dangerous criminal groups in the world. In the follow-up, Christian is asked to look into the death of Raymond King (J.K. Simmons), who used to be the head of FinCEN at the Treasury Department.

Anaïs, the mysterious killer played by Danielella Pineda, was involved in the murder and is now a key figure in the investigation. Christian's job is to find the Salvadoran family who has something to do with the case.

Even though he doesn't trust Christian's illegal activities, the deputy director of FinCEN, Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), asks him for help. As Christian looks into the case more, he learns that the family in the picture he is looking into running away from El Salvador to Los Angeles, where they faced many dangers.

The skilled killer brother of Christian, Braxton (Jon Bernthal), is brought into the case to help find Anaïs, who is linked to the murder and the missing family.

Christian learns that Anaïs' autistic son, Alberto, is being held captive in a prison camp in Juárez, Mexico. This makes the investigation more personal.

Christian and Braxton go on a dangerous rescue mission to save Alberto and other kids who were being trafficked into the camp. In the final confrontation, shocking facts about the murder, the family's past, and Christian's own family ties are revealed.

This leads to a deadly showdown with Burke (Robert Morgan), the person responsible. At the end of the story, Christian and Braxton think about their relationship and the complicated history they carry.
