If someone does not meet your expectations then you can fire them.

However, in my experience throwing around the word "accountable" is a clear sign of a bad leader. It's a way of shirking responsibility for the situation, and implying that the other person is failing in some basic moral way.

So hold your own damn self accountable. Take a beat to decide if your expectations are reasonable. Then tell him your expectations are that estimates are better and tasks get finished more quickly. Give him some time to try to achieve this, and if he won't or can't then fire him.
