Answer 1

An MBA certificate is worthless if you don't have the literacy to back it up.  It might get you an interview, if someone else fills in the application form, but even if your numeracy is very good, the way you asked this question would not inspire anyone to trust you with their financial affairs.  Study English, and try to lose the bad habits you've fallen into.  If you don't wish to do that, another course is to start (or continue) reading professional journals, and never go past a word you can't understand AND spell.  Even if you start with just a single sentence, it's a beginning.  Good luck!

Yes, you need to study accounts from the beginning.  You need to get a very good grasp of the basics, otherwise you won't really understand each step that comes after that.  It may be possible to become a bookkeeper by learning to follow a simple set of rules, and just doing what you did yesterday again, but this time with today's figures, but to give financial advice, and do it responsibly, you need an in depth understanding of the flow of money.  Otherwise, the only really safe advice you will be able to give is "Diversify your assets".  Tell them "Don't put all your eggs in one basket", if they don't understand what diversify means,(and some don't).

Don't be tempted to put yourself down.  I had some bad teachers at school, and it must have been about 10 years after I left that I realised my bad education wasn't really my fault, and started to learn again.  Never be afraid to go back to the beginning.
