Answer 1 :
I would of thought of just his name, followed by ACCOUNTANT. Or is that just a stupid simple answer.
Answer 2 :
You need to find out which account body he is affiliated to and whether he has attained member status yet. Once you find this out you just put the initials for his registered body after or under his name e.g A Body, CPA or A Body ACCA. Membership of the accountants governing bodies often requires practical training after qualification and is a requirement before you may use the desiganted letters, so in order to ensure you do not get your son into trouble double check his membership status. If your son is not a member of his governing body you can not use the letters pertaining to it, you may however, put down the type of accountant he is e.g Financial accountant or Management Accountant. If he only has a degree in accounting you should put down the type of degree rather than the fact that he is an accountant e.g BA (hons) or Bsc. Hope this helps.
Answer 3 :
A degree in accounts does not qualify you as an accountant. It's often the first step towards becoming a qualified accountant, but he isn't there yet.
