Exactly how much difficult maths is there in a Commerce degree majoring in Accounting and Finance? I am really interested in these majors but i'm more interested in analysing rather than actually creating statistics using complex maths formulas. I'm alright at maths (only did 2U advanced but got 91 in it), but it's not really my forte.

But do accounting and marketing really complement each other that much?

hey! i was thinking of doing a double major in accounting and marketing as well although i know it's totally unrelated, but i just wanted to work out what kind of a career would suit me more. if i fail to make a good marketer, i know i'd always find a job with accounting.
When i told people about accounting with marketing, they thought i was completely out of my mind but i don't care. i'll do it anyway. It's not that stupid to do these 2 majors together is it?
