Thank You for inviting me to answer. Accountant is always a man of numbers & digits. If he is not strong in number & digits, how he can become a good Accountant.

You don't have to be good in math like engineers but not also basic math like the four fundamentals mathermatical operation..Maybe in the middle or intermediate?? Accounting is more like analytical. Accounting in every country follows a certain standards. IFRS, IAS, PFRS whatever it is, and Financial Statement should adhere on that standards. So advance mathematics are not actually needed.
