Serendipity here are a few more comments in addition to the comments above:
1) Vetasses is not the correct skills assessing body for accountants, in fact there are 3 assessing bodies for accountants and the one you would apply to would depend on the qualifications you/your husband hold. I should also add that an MBA (alone) is not normally a qualification which will allow you to obtain a positive skills assessment as an accountant.
2) Even if you score 110 points you may be eligible for a visa - again this will depend on your skills assessments and your nominated occupations.
And, as someone has already pointed out, if the visa applicants undertakes an IELTS test and scores 7 or above in each part of the test, you can claim additional points which may just get you over the 120 threshold.
3) The 475 is an employer sponsored visa. You do not need a visa to find a job (although some employers are adamant that they will not offer a job to someone who does not have a visa), you just need an employer who considers you/your husband to be great employee candidates and who will therefore we willing to sponsor you so that you can obtain a visa and commence employment.
4) There are lots of great job/recruitment websites online. Seek.com, careerone, hayes, etc etc. You just have to type in some key search term and you will find them all.
5) The processing time varies greatly. There is a new system being rolled out for 457s and according to the promises being made the 457s may soon be processed in as little as a couple of days! The permanent visas of course take much longer - anywhere from 7 to 9 months, or more.
