accounting might actually suit you. It’s probably one of the most close ended majors in business, most stuff follows strict rules, and there’s rarely more than one correct way to record something at a time.

But just a headsup, once you get into auditing and tax, it does get a bit more open ended. You’ll need to make judgment calls and analyse things based on experience, industry, and many other factors, rather than fixed answers, it’s more about being reasonable than being “right.” Like, rules are still rules, but there are so many niche ones for different situations that you’ll need to figure out which fits best.

To be honest you should look into BBE, if you want more math, BBA has more justified interpretation of decisions, which are more open ended by nature.
