One semester left, deciding between 70391 Finance or 70122 Intro to Accounting

I have one semester left at CMU, and recently I’ve decided to try to pivot my future into some sort of computational finance or quantitative analysis career (I am CS major with math minor). Or at the very least if that doesn’t work out, I want to have some sort of financial knowledge so I can manage my own money well. I want to spend my remaining time here taking the most relevant courses I can before I apply for masters in comp finance or financial engineering etc next year, and right now I’m deciding between Finance or Accounting.

I’m quite new to the field, so I’m not quite sure which course is better in this situation. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on which course I should choose, or even if you think my future plans of going into comp finance is dumb! Looking to get some perspective
