<li><p>The math in accounting is very simple algebra at worst. Really, it’s mostly arithmetic. Economics and finance have more advanced math. I am an accounting major who’s not a very “math-y” guy, but I’m doing fine in it.</p></li>
<li><p>If you want to do tax law, then the CPA would be a benefit. If you do not want to do tax law, then the CPA loses value depending on what you want to do.
