If you double in Finance then you should be fine. Accounting is typically the toughest business degree at the undergraduate level so if anything it shows that you can cut it academically. Now what you do with your degree is probably more important. I read somewhere that only between 2%-5% of all top b-school students are from accounting backgrounds. Don’t quote me on that but I definitely remember reading it somewhere. Either way its not too common for an accountant to make the leap as it would be for one from a marketing or financial background.
