Can I prepare accounts and sign accountants reports as a subcontractor, where I am appointed by and invoicing another accountancy business rather than the client? Also, where does that leave me in terms of engagement letters etc?
I have been offered some work but as a subcontractor and want to understand how it is going to work before/if I agree.

Subcontract.
As far as the client is concerned, you are a representative of the accountancy business you are subcontracting for. They are the people engaged by the client, not you.
In what capacity?
In what capacity would you be signing?
I can foresee ethical and PI problems if the accountancy business is trading off your qualification.
