Answer 1 :
You need to get a job in Accountancy and take exams, usually ACA exams. Some companies offer study support but the places are quite competitive. If you go to University and take a numerical subject you can skip some of the exams. You could also take Accountancy and Finance at University but I think you'd still need to get the experience and take some of the ACA exams.
Answer 2 :
First of all, you will need to get at least 5 good GCSEs at grade C or above - including Mathematics. Then, you will need to study A-levels, probably including Maths/Business subjects - and ideally achieve at least 280 UCAS points (grade BBC at A-level) Then, the most common route is to take a degree, often in a numerical subject, although that is not compulsory. You will need to achieve at least a 2:1 (Upper Second) classification in your degree During your degree in particular, it will be useful to gain some work experience in an accountancy field. You can then apply to chartered accountancy firms for a training post to train through the relevant Institute for Chartered Accountants.
