It helps. It's basic math - adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, and percentage calculations. You have to be able to know trends and why. Tax law also helps.

I hear ya! I was recently in your same situation. I have never been good at math, so I started at the bottom, literally taking the lowest math class offered, and then I worked my way up to calculus, trigonometry, and statistics. I am now in a highly competitive, Top-10 school’s finance program and am doing fine. You don’t need to be a natural mathematician, but you do need to eventually learn to be comfortable with numbers. Besides, most of the math I do in my finance classes are done with financial calculators or Microsoft excel. If you have a desire to learn and good study habits, you should be fine.

Speaking as someone who has worked for many years in business and finance, and now teaches those subjects, let me tell you that YES, you do need to be good in math.
But we're not talking rocket sicience, but rather more basic math for many jobs. Things like adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, percents, and basic algebra for formula calculations.

Probably, but I'm sure you can do it if you really tried. Maybe if you take a couple math courses at the local Junior College will help your math skills and better your chances of passing your classes. Good Luck!
