Top 20 LinkedIn Creators on Accounting (2026)

Most lists of "top accounting influencers on LinkedIn" sort people by follower count. Followers tell you who subscribed once, not who still gets read. The biggest account in this ranking, Josh Aharonoff, holds 486k followers and finishes only fourteenth.

So we ranked accounting by a working measure instead. At MagicPost we took the 131 active creators in our dataset who post about accounting consistently (at least 10 accounting posts in the last 12 months, 5,000 followers minimum) and sorted them on median likes on their accounting posts alone.

Only creators with at least one post in the last 60 days are ranked.

Our dataset holds 5,838 accounting posts from the last 12 months, and the typical one earns 24 likes. Number twenty here earns 2.6 times that. Arthur Waller, co-founder of Pennylane, at number one, earns 15 times that.

Two figures in each entry belong to theme rankings. The share of feed says whether accounting is their whole identity or a sideline. The vs overall median says whether their accounting posts beat their own usual median.

In this top 20, the six biggest accounting premiums all go to creators for whom accounting is under 40% of the feed.

Each entry carries a data card, a note on what stands out and the creator's most liked accounting post of the last 12 months. For a steady supply of posts like these, see MagicPost's post inspiration library.

The full board first, then the countdown:

His best post reads the French market rather than teaching a technique, like Alexis Slama's at #19.

"Le marché est en train de choisir son camp. Cette semaine, Qonto rachète Acasi, un cabinet d'expertise-comptable en ligne. Avant eux, TeamSystems (ACD) a racheté Compta Clémentine." His most liked accounting post of the year: 1,972 likes and 105 comments. Read it

Where do these cards come from? We computed every figure on this page from public posts with MagicPost's LinkedIn analytics: median engagement per theme, share of feed, theme premiums and trajectories, across 131 accounting creators and 5,838 accounting posts. It works on your profile too, including a side-by-side with anyone on this list.

Yenaa Messaoudi, at #21, carries the widest theme premium among the top 25: her accounting posts earn 168% more than her overall median.

Which LinkedIn accounting creators have the highest engagement rate?

Raw likes flatter the largest followings, so divide by reach: engagement rate on accounting posts, median likes divided by followers (20k followers and over). Here the order barely moves:

Two names come from outside the top 20: Nicolas Boucher, #24 by median, and Chris Reilly, who publishes often enough (102 accounting posts) to rank sixth on total.

Which LinkedIn accounting creator gets the most comments per post?

This cut divides comments by likes. Among creators with 100+ median likes, the record in our accounting pool belongs to Jason Staats (#9): 31 median comments against 105 median likes, about one comment for every three likes.

The typical top-20 creator gets one comment for every 7 likes. Erica Goode (#7) and Wouter Born (#3) complete the podium.

Are the top LinkedIn accounting creators full-time accounting voices?

Mostly not. Of the 131 creators who post accounting consistently, only 15 give it at least half their feed.

The top 20 splits the same way: residents like Arthur Waller (79%), Alexis Slama and Nicolas Piatkowski (63% each) and Jonathan Plateau (51%), next to tourists like Wouter Born (8%) and Ben Wilson (15%).

The tourists collect the premium. The six biggest accounting premiums in this top 20 all go to creators for whom accounting is under 40% of the feed:

  • Josh Aharonoff: +127%

  • Erica Goode: +94%

  • Wouter Born: +89%

  • Julie Laniaud: +53%

  • Ben Wilson: +50%

  • Jason Staats: +36%

All four residents sit between -6% and +14%. And eight of the twenty earn less on accounting than on their other posts, Régis Meyer most of all (-20%).

Geographically, the top 20 is strongly French: 11 of the 20 are based in France, against 4 in the United States, 3 in the United Kingdom and one each in Spain and Belgium.

The French best posts follow their market: accounting firms bought by software and fintech companies (Arthur Waller, Alexis Slama) and the e-invoicing reform (Maxime Digue). Country by country rankings: France, the UK, the United States, the full series.

For the money side of the profession, see our ranking of the top LinkedIn finance creators. And if showing up in these creators' comment sections is part of your plan, an engagement feed keeps it to a five-minute daily habit.

How we ranked the top LinkedIn accounting creators

All of this is MagicPost's own research. We went through 5,838 accounting posts from the last 12 months and ranked 131 creators by median likes on their accounting posts.

Only creators with at least one post in the last 60 days are ranked. The method:

  • Floors: at least 5,000 followers and 10 accounting posts in the window; deleted posts excluded.

  • Median rather than average: no single viral post can buy a place.

  • Accounting posts only: each post gets a theme from our own classification, and only those posts count.

  • Accounting posts analyzed: the posts our dataset holds per creator, sometimes fewer than they published.

  • Per creator: share of feed, premium over their own median, yearly trajectories, engagement rate and comment ratio.

Most top-20 medians rest on 12 to 29 accounting posts, so a few posts can move the lower ranks. Rankings refresh as the data does. No placement here was sponsored; every rank comes straight from the median.

Study them, then study yourself. With MagicPost you can analyze any accounting creator the way we just did (median engagement by theme, share of feed, premiums, trajectory) and benchmark your own profile against the pool. The data on this page is the product.

FAQ

Who is the top accounting creator on LinkedIn in 2026?

Arthur Waller, co-founder of Pennylane, is #1 in MagicPost's 2026 ranking of 131 active accounting creators, with 366 median likes per accounting post over the last 12 months, 15 times the typical accounting post we measured. Julie Laniaud (227) and Wouter Born (210) follow.

How is this ranking calculated?

MagicPost ranks creators by median likes per accounting post over the last 12 months, among 131 creators with 5,000+ followers, 10+ accounting posts and a post in the last 60 days. Median, not average, so one viral post cannot buy a spot, and only accounting posts count.

Why isn't the most-followed accounting creator number one?

Because followers measure accumulated audience, not current engagement. Josh Aharonoff has the largest audience in this ranking, with 486k followers, but ranks 14th: his engagement rate (median likes divided by followers) is 0.02%, the lowest in the top 20.

Does posting about accounting boost engagement on LinkedIn?

For half of this top 20, ten creators, accounting posts beat their overall median, by up to 127% (Josh Aharonoff). The biggest premiums go to creators for whom accounting is a side topic. The typical accounting post we measured earns 24 likes.

Who are the most efficient accounting creators on LinkedIn?

Arthur Waller is the most efficient creator in our accounting pool by engagement rate (median likes / followers, minimum 20k followers), at 1.11%, ahead of Lucy Cohen (0.67%), Ben Wilson (0.51%), Jean Petitdemange (0.46%) and Julie Laniaud (0.45%).

Are the top accounting voices full-time accounting creators?

Mostly not. Only 15 of the 131 eligible creators give accounting at least half their feed. The top 20 mixes residents (Arthur Waller, Alexis Slama, Nicolas Piatkowski, Jonathan Plateau) with founders, tutors and part-time CFOs for whom accounting is one topic among several.

Which countries lead accounting content on LinkedIn?

In this ranking, France: 11 of the top 20 accounting creators are based there, ahead of the United States (4), the United Kingdom (3), Spain and Belgium (one each). Country rankings are in our country series.
