Which character in "The Office" is head of the company's accounting department?

Angela Martin is the head of Dunder Mifflin’s accounting department in The Office. She is the department’s strict, rule-focused supervisor and works alongside accountants Oscar Martinez and Kevin Malone at the Scranton branch.

Played by Angela Kinsey, Angela is known for her stern personality, privacy, religious convictions, and obsession with order. Her managerial style is often severe, but the accounting department remains one of the show’s recurring workplace settings. Episodes and storylines frequently contrast Angela’s rigid approach with Oscar’s competence and Kevin’s unconventional methods.

Angela’s role is sometimes confused with being the department’s best accountant. Oscar is generally portrayed as the more technically knowledgeable accountant, while Angela holds the department-head position. That distinction matters because the question asks who leads accounting, not who performs the strongest financial analysis.

Angela’s responsibilities also extend beyond accounting at different points in the series. She serves as office safety officer and has been associated with the Party Planning Committee, but her defining corporate title throughout the show is head of accounting.
