Sure.. an accountant or preferably a lawyer can act on behalf of a company. It may be worth considering having such a person as a nominee director. (This does not mean you are parting with any rights within your corp - the nominee, by law, must act on your instructions.) Company formation agents often have lawyers either on their staff or people they can recommend as nominees.
If a UK company is of interest, it's worth contacting Jordan's in the UK - they are probably the oldest established formation agents in the UK and are please to give advice before forming an entity. They have a website at

Only my preference, but it's good to actually chat with any nominee (a lot of folks never ever speak with their nominees - especially in offshore) and at least make yourself known and not just be another name on forms. They can be very useful in real life on occasions. I use nominees in a few corps and have Power of Attorney over the corp and just get on with whatever is needed and using their name as the principal.
