GnuCash is a Gtk (i.e. Linux) application that has been ported to Windows. Gtk has its own accessibility framework that is AFAIK not compatible or interoperable with Windows or Mac accessibility tools, so the only screen reader that’s likely to work with it is Orca (https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca <https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/>). It’s not AFAIK available for Windows. Sorry.
