In principle you can apply for GC on J1 visa as long as you have waiver in place. In fact an employer can apply for your GC as a future employment as long as he can get LC done for you. Only trouble that occurs is if you are on J1 and apply for GC and if you have to go out of the country for visit and need to get your visa stamped, then consulate is likely to refuse the visa, since J-1 (your intial visa) was not "dual intent" visa i.e. immigration intent is not expected, versus H1-B which is dual intent. Recommended procedure is to get H1-B stamped on your passport and apply for GC. However, if you do not expect to go out of country till you have Advance Parole on I-485, you can apply for GC. I gues H1-B should be ok if you have have Educational qualification plus experience. Won't hurt to consult a lawyer, since I am not a lawyer

Try to get your CPA, PERM in place getting LC approved for accountant without a US degree or CPA is out of question.
