You don't have to be good in math like engineers but not also basic math like the four fundamentals mathermatical operation..Maybe in the middle or intermediate?? Accounting is more like analytical. Accounting in every country follows a certain standards. IFRS, IAS, PFRS whatever it is, and Financial Statement should adhere on that standards. So advance mathematics are not actually needed.
