Hi! You are really smart to be thinking about other skills to pick up to complement your major. After working as an accountant for 20 years, I think that there are three key areas to consider in complementing your accounting skills. One would be to look at softer, interpersonal skill sets - psychology or organizational development. I think that the most successful accountants are more than just number crunchers; they have learned how to deliver messages to management in a way that brings them to action. Another would be marketing. If you want to own a successful practice or to rise to the level of partner in a major firm, you have to know how to market your products. Finally, I would consider a minor in technology. Financial systems are often very complicated and misunderstood. There will be jobs in financial systems for a long, long time.
Best of luck!
