Why is it masculine?

Comptables is a noun meaning "accountant" that functions as both masculine and feminine depending on the person's gender (un comptable / une comptable). It derives from Old French "compte" (account), which comes from Latin "computus." The word is not inherently masculine or feminine; rather, it is a mixed-gender noun that agrees with the gender of the person it describes. French nouns ending in "-able" are typically masculine by default, but professions and agent nouns can take either gender form based on the referent's gender.
