Keely, thank you for sharing. We can start by saying marketing is out for you, though I know people who have both lucrative and stable marketing careers. One thing about accounting, it really isn’t about math, it is more about numbers. You use basic arithmetic. Accounting for one part of my life. The was much dull work. However, the creative part comes when you are trying to solve problems which requires analysis. Many people in accounting were tied to old thinking, so I enjoyed coming with new ways to frame the discussion to solve problems. It is a useful skill to have. My personal opinion is that accounting is a bit more versatile than a finance degree.

Now if you want to go more in the math direction, economics could make sense. It is a versatile degree and and an analytical discipline. Math and statistics go very well with economics.

Here is a site I used to find career directions for different majors when helping my son through his college search. Take a look and see what tickles your fancy.
