Pretty much anyone can call themselves an "accountant" in the US. For the most part the only restrictions are on Certified Public Accountants or CPAs as they are commonly known in the US. A CPA is similar to a Chartered Accountant in most other countries. A CA from the RP could work as an accountant in the US but could not call themselves a CPA until they met the state licensing requirements and passed the CPA exams in the state where they were practicing.
