Siriusly Snapey Susan wants to know:

>But why doesn't the WW need accountants, too?

And so do I.

They have banks and stores.  People spend money, save money, donate money 
(Lucius Malfoy).  Of course they must have accountants.  If nothing else, 
remember all those rows of goblins in Gringotts?  That's an image straight 
out of a Dickens-era counting house.

I agree that the Weasley relative is probably a Squib, and that is the 
reason they don't discuss him very often.  But you don't need magic to be an 
accountant.  It might help with things like self-sharpening quills and 
making inkblots vanish, but whether you're a wizard or not, you have to do 
the calculations yourself.  On that level, wizards, squibs, and muggles are 
equal.  (Of course,  muggles have calculators and computers ...)
