Accountancy For Business
November 22nd, 2011 | 
Author: Do I have to be a qualified accountant in order to start an accountancy business office? Or can I just open an office and employ accountants. Essentially — If you are the employer, the buck stops with you. What happens if yoiur qualified accountants mess up, and you get sued? Who is going to insure an unqualified person against professional litigation? As the employer, how would you monitor work of employees if they were qualified, and you weren't? I don't think this is a good idea.

It would help I guess.
no you don't have to be an accountant when you’re employing qualified people.
You do have to be careful with the way you present the businesses to potential customers. If you’re the owner/figurehead some might ASSUME you’re a Certified Public Accountant. You don't want anyone to accuse you of fraud, or your clients to feel cheated.
No, but a better command of the English language might help. It's just an idea,
Currently, you do not have to be a certified CPA to offer accounting services.
BUT. . . . . you should know right now that all of your clients are going to be morons. . . . and if you've ever worked with morons you know all the dum dum things they will do. Your work will really be cut out for you. . . especially since you are not fully qualified.
. . . and how do I know they will all be morons? . . . . . because only a moron thinks its a good idea to trust their whole financial well being to somebody who is not a certiied CPA.
My wife is a CPA who runs her own business. . . . I know she would encourage you to follow your ambition with this thing, as it will be greatly fulfilling. . . but she would also encourage you to get your certification. You will make a lot more money too !.
Good Luck.
