I'm with HSBC and it's easy enough to set up another user with read only access to your Accounts. I do not see what possible harm they can do without the ability to transfer money out of the account so have given this access to my Accountant.

Your accountant must not have any control of your company account – for them to do so would contravene MSC rules. They can have read-only access for the purpose of preparing accounts; that is all that they need, and all they are allowed access to.
