I do not want to underestimate accountants as they play a very important role by keeping the "books" of the companies financial representation as transparent as possible and are the ones who provide the data for all managerial decision. However, and if you have a choice, I suggest you go for finance.

Finance is more broad and deals directly with responsibilities of overseeing the financial health of a company. Financial people has more opportunities to climb the corporate ladder as it is considered to be more managerial in nature compared to that of Accounting. They will be the ones responsible for Managing Investment, Cash Flow Management, and more.

Obviously, you should seek for professional guidance and talk with your friends, colleagues, family members, etc. as this is a very important step that you should not ignore. Whatever path you choose, it must be done wisely. Good luck.
