Answer 1 :
a British accountant who is a member of a professional body that has a royal charter http://www.icaew.co.uk/ this website will tell you all you need to know, good luck
Answer 2 :
You don't need a degree to be a chartered accountant. Basically there are two main accountancy bodies, the ICAEW (Chartered) and ACCA (Certified). Depending on which body you choose to study under will decide whether you are a chartered or a certified accountant. I left school at 16 and did my AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) examinations. I think this now equates to NVQ level 4. I then did my ACCA examinations and have been qualified for a number of years. A degree will exempt you from doing certain stages of examinations but you can sit those examinations without the degree. My firm employs staff and offer the audit staff to choose whether to do the chartered or certified examinations. Bigger firms usually want graduates to do chartered examinations but you can find firms that offer you the chance to do chartered if you don't want to do certified exams. And if you qualify as a certified accountant, its now possible to transfer to become a chartered accountant.

...Finance Masters or an MBA? I'd like to start my own Accounting practice in future, but would like another complimentary qualification. A bit concerned that some of the things studied on MBA courses may be a bit or a repetition of what I may have done already...and therefore a waste of (lots of) money!

Answer 1 :
It depends on the direction you want to take your practice. You are probably better off with an MBA so you can add management consulting to your audit and business valuation experience. Graduate Degree in Finance is for someone planning to work in banking. Many MBA programs will waive first-year requirements for students who have taken comparable coursework in another program of study. Some will not. I knew one Accounting professor who, when she was getting her MBA, was teaching the undergraduate accounting equivalent (with the same textbook) of an accounting course she was required to take for her MBA.
Answer 2 :
FCA is a good qualification, and is directly relevant for what you want to achieve. Personally, I wouldn't go for the additional qualification, because you are not trying to become an academic, and you would have all that you need to start your own practice. You may burn out with too much study. Why not put your energies directly into setting up and building your own practice. I doubt that future clients would care whether you had a MBA or not when looking for technical expertise. Also, there are MBA's and MBA's.
Answer 3 :
The easiest way is to stick your head in a blender now - it avoids an innocent person having to go to jail for killing you later after you rip them off of their life savings.
