Becoming an accountant?

Today I chose my 3 AS subjects at sixth form, P.E, ICT and psychology. I chose P.E as I have a strong interest in sport, and I am keeping the option of becoming a P.E teacher open. My other option is to become an accountant. My uncle is on the verge of becoming a fully qualified accountant, and he has inspired me further to look into it. However I worry that my chosen A-Levels could affect my chances. I understand picking something like maths could become useful, but are these really necessary? Reading on university entry requirements, I do not see any specific subjects mentioned that are required to start an accountancy degree, is this correct?

Thanks

    Generally, a university will have business core requirements which will include some introductory accounting courses. These courses, and likely a relatively easy math class or two, will end up being prerequisites for upper division (intermediate) accounting. Those classes are difficult, but if you're interested in it and willing to do the work, you should stick with it. It will certainly pay more than teaching PE.
