If you’re completing the heists in order, Rock the Cradle is far more complex than any area you’ve tackled thus far. This Nightclub heist is split into two halves. Breaking into the VIP section and everything you need to do while inside. You’ll find the Accountant’s office deep in the Nightclub, but it’s a pain to reach if you don’t know your way around. Here’s how to find and get into the Accountant’s Office in Payday 3.

To start off, I’ll show heisters who’ve got into the VIP section where the Accounting office is. If you’re struggling to get inside, I’ll show you how to do that afterward.
Where is the Accounting Office?

The Accounting office is right at the back of the VIP section and is always through the furthest door on the right. The entrance doesn’t have a dedicated guard, but there is one that patrols nearby. You’ll need to Lockpick the door to get inside. Remember, you can cancel Lockpicking anytime if you start to raise suspicion.

Beyond the door, there’s a flight of stairs and a camera. The camera is set up in an annoying spot as it either looks straight at the Accounting Office or down the stairs. Wait until the Camera is focused on the door, then run and stand directly beneath it as there’s a blind spot. When the Camera turns, this is your window to lockpick the Office door and head inside. On Normal difficulty, there are no guards in this area, and I recommend closing the door so the Camera won’t spot you while you’re inside.
How to get into the VIP section
We’ve made an in-depth guide for this heist, but here’s the fastest way. If you don’t want the Crypto Wallet to be destroyed, you must do this quietly.
When you start the heist, find the bouncers in front of the VIP section, then crouch next to the door on the left side of the bar. You can pick the lock and go upstairs. On the second floor, there’s another camera. If you crouch directly beneath it, you can lockpick the door to Rifkin’s office. When you’ve done that, head inside.
Interact with the QR Code panel next to the display case, and you’ll be prompted to hack Rifkin’s Phone; she will be highlighted. You must interact with her phone and stay nearby while the hack is completed. Fortunately, this doesn’t raise suspicion, and Rifkin spends plenty of time in areas you’re allowed in.
After the hack, return to the office and grab the VIP Invitations from the case. You’ll need to find a computer to validate the invitations. With the working Invitations in hand, you can now enter the VIP Party.
