He just wants my sister and me to take what he says we’re owed and go away. What steps can we take to get the executor to turn over the accounting?

You can move to compel a detailed accounting by the executor. He is obligated by law to provide such accounting and failing to do so is grounds for enforcement by the Court. Either discuss this issue with your attorney, or if you do not have one, schedule a consultation with a probate attorney to discuss your issues.
