I find that both finance and accounting have many similarities, but are technically different. The higher I have progressed upward in my career, from mid to senior level positions, the more distinct the disciplines have become. Accounting is the ability to accurately and timely report all the financial transactions that have occurred within a timeframe. Finance is the management of the financials and assets of the business.

This is not a question to spend a lot of time on. Give your opinion and state why in 2-4 sentences and then an example from one's education or professional experience. Make sure you are very clear. Finance and Accounting have many similarities, but they are different disciplines.
