Economics is concerned with the big picture how a country, region or particular market is operating; while finance is a more microscopic look at industry risk and return on investment.

Finance is about money and investments. People on their own, people in partnerships, companies and other entities (including state and federal governments), have a common objective of profitable investment.

Accounting focuses on supplying dependable, timely, and precise information for decision-makers, particularly in economic matters. Accountants play a vital role, whether in multinational corporations, government agencies, or public practice.
