When I listen to people say that hiring an accountant would help your business grow in leaps and bounds, I often get confused. This is so because I have taken a professional course in Accounting and I have also taken a professional course in Economics. From my experience in the two courses, I feel an Economics deals more with decision-making and alternatives than accounting. Accounting is majorly concerned with financial decisions and economics is concerned with making decisions while exploring alternatives. Economics is more encompassing.
So, when it comes to the debate on which profession between the two would make a better manager, I always stand with an economist. An economist has been trained to be a manager of all kinds of resources. An accountant barely knows anything about the dynamics and workings of a labor force for instance. Personally, I feel economists are better managers overall than accountants. Accountants are excellent financial managers though.
