Finance Manager is a broader position and absorbs JDs of Accounts Manager. The bulleted analysis may include:

1) Accounts Managers focus more on the numerical accuracy of the financial figures, while finance managers make analysis on such reports,

2) Accounts Managers prepare reports on profit/ loss and costs, while Finance Managers assist management in designing policies or making strategies to increase revenues and to cut costs,

3) Accounts Managers report on the investment portfolio of the company, while Finance Managers manage that portfolio & give recommendations,

4) Finance managers prepare budgets & cash flow projections, making analysis on actual vs budgeted amounts and giving reports.

5) Accounts Managers focus more on historic transactions and recording them as per the financial regulations. Finance Managers are more forward & future-focused, setting financial targets, preparing the budget and helping the organization in reaching those targets,

6) Accounts managers work with other accountants to maintain transparent and accurate books of accounts, while Finance Managers would indulge in revising the JDs, roles & responsibilties.

Accounting is the recording of financial transation according to rules. Whereas Financial Management includes managing your money in a manner that optimizes your profit. Financial Management is a larger concept which are obviously based on Accounting data plus mathematical/ statistical analysis. So, Accounts Manager should record and manage the day-day-day financial transactions whereas a Finance Manager is expected to analyse those Accounting Data for better profitability of the business

I will try to be precise in my answer to help in your understanding....A Finance Manager is one who is incharge of the organization's finances in terms of investments, advice and support while an Account's Manager is one who is incharge of client's sales and relationships or welfare. 

 

Here are a few roles of a Finance Manager

Ananlyse change and advising accordingly

AgM manages and conducts all accounting activities most importantly the accounting closing activities what make the final balance for audit or final information for internal reporting. Finance manager goes beyond this task by using that information or data given by accounting manager to analyze the financial health of the busisness if it can sustain or expand and oversee the overall internal control and risk to support financial decision and objectives. Account manager is different. You can be referring to sales handling an account or group of accounts. Or you referring to one who manages AR or AP only
