In February 2005, when she was about to begin the second season of Panadería los Felipe, she was cast as Tatiana in the soap opera Amor en Custodia by Telefe. After finishing this program in 2006, she was cast in a feature film which was postponed due to lack of funding. The film, Cartas para Jenny, was eventually shot in 2007 in San Luis Province and then in Israel.

That same year, Accardi played Malvina, one of the villains of Casi Ángeles by Telefe. In 2009, she played the antagonist in the film Papá por un día with Nicolás Cabré and Luisana Lopilato. Then, in 2011, Accardi became part of one of the most successful telenovelas of that year, Herederos de una venganza, in which she played China Villegas. In 2012, she played Dolores in the second season of Los únicos, following that role up with another antagonist in the telenovela of Pol-ka, Sos mi hombre.
