Most probably yes.
but can an alternative view be taken? May be.
What you are doing is at-best book-keeping. Not everyone writing accounts can be referred to as accounting professional. Same as everyone working in a lawyer office cannot be considered as a legal professional. A compounder in doctor's clinic can not be considered as medical professional.
The question is, to be called professional whether knowledge is necessary or a valid degree?
I tried to lay my hands on any legal precedent. Unfortunately couldn't find any reference.
