Thanks for your invitation there are lots of difference between accounting and finance but few of them are as under.

 DIFFERENCE:

 1. Finance has very broad meaning..Finance is the monetary resources that a person, organization and different businesses used to generate profit . Accounts are the parts of finance whereas finance means the analysis of cost and fund for future requirements.

 2. Scope of finance is greater than accounts.

 3. Accounting on the other hand is the measurement, disclosure or provision of assurance about  financial information that helps managers, investors, tax authorities and other decision makers make resource allocation decisions. 

4. One difference is associated with the treatment of funds and the other is associated with decision making

Accounting:  primary function is to develop and provide data measuring the performance of the firm, assessing its financial position, and paying taxes. The accountant is responsible for preparing financial statements.

Finance: primary emphasis on decision making. It uses the financial statements prepared by accountants to make decisions about the firm’s financial condition and to advise others about possible losses and profits. In some cases, finance is more a type of leadership position. A financial manager has to deal not only with finance, but also with economics, accounting, statistics, math, and management.
