How to sign “Accounting” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Accounting” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you with the palm facing up.
- Shape your dominant hand into an F, pressing your thumb against your index fingertip.
- Touch the F fingertips near the heel of your flat palm, then slide forward twice.
- Finish with the person marker: both flat hands, palms inward, sweeping straight down past your chest.
- Keep the dominant palm angled down toward the base hand during the forward slides.
- Hold a matter-of-fact expression — this is a straightforward occupation label, not an action.
Practice tip
COUNT plus the PERSON ending — Lifeprint teaches this exact form for ACCOUNTANT, and ASL dictionaries gloss the same sign for the field of accounting.
