[BlindMath] Accounting resources for JAWS users?

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello Mary,
I don't think there is an email list of accountants, but most blind
bookkeepers / accountants / CFOs use Excel / Google sheets, Quickbooks with
the Jaws scripts (Or quickbooks online), and forgo the visualisation,
although the Highcharts Sonification Studio
<https://sonification.highcharts.com/#/> is pretty nice.
Thanks,
