Probably. Accounting has less to do with advanced math than it has to do with ledgers and rules and all that, making sure things balance, etc. I did high school level accounting classes when I was in school and you didn't have to be good at math--you used your calculator. Nowadays, there are all kinds of spreadsheet functions and who knows what. Even a tax accountant's specialty won't be math--it'll be knowing what to look for to cut back on taxes, knowing the tax laws, etc.
ADDED: My mom became a Certified General Accountant (Canadian thing) and she was the first to tell me that accounting has little to do with math! It looks like it has to do with math because you are adding things up and whatnot, but that's just basic arithmetic and not even the bulk of the work. You don't need to have an A in algebra, and you certainly don't need to do well in geometry, to be a good accountant.

If you have the determination, you can do it.
I remember so many things that I used to be bad at, but I worked on them, and now some of them are my premier strengths.
Don't let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do. They don't determine if you get what you want. It's all up to you in the end.
Pursue your desires. You'll be much happier with yourself if you have a career that you want.

Why would someone want to hire you if you're not good at what you do? How do you even expect to get a degree? My suggestion would be to study and practice as much as you can. Otherwise, you wont get to where you want to go.
