I want to be a ‘business woman’ you know, with a big firm/company and so on. What’s the difference between business, finance and accounting?

    Business is usually business management like managing a hotel, a building, a transportation company etc. Finance is more like helping big companies invest and manage their money and help rich people manage their money, more or less making big decisions. In finance you can help people invest and make more money(like a broker or financial adviser). Accounting is very hard math and deals with doing all the math for a business like calculating how much money is being spent, being earned, and how much is being lost and wasted. I think you want to be a financial adviser or a financial manager. All these fields are doing really bad right now because rich people are not investing and these jobs are being laid off.

    Financing and Accounting are the subjects which you study in Business Management. They are all intertwined and interdependent subjects, forming a chapter in your studies.
    You can specialize in any one of these or both.
