Finance majors are more apt to be involved in investing, CFP type of

activities, returns on assets, and accountants focus on things like financial statements, and tax returns. There is some crossover and some finance people make very good accountants, and some accountants make very good finance guys....

There's a big GAAP between the two professions.**
Tank • 05/11/23 03:39 PM ET
That gaap can be a liability or an asset, depending on you point of view.
