Finance deals with the admisterial level it includes various decisions like procurement of funds, invest them in proper manner, and distributing of funds to interested parties.

Thus when compare the scope, the scope of finance is greate than accounts.

The main difference between accounts and finance is the accounts calculate the cash flow on the basis of accrual basis, means the
mercantile basis. Finance consider only when they are received.
Accounts is the only input to finance

Accounting: Accountant's (sometimes called: Controller)
primary function is to develop and provide data measuring
the performance of the firm, assessing its financial
position, and paying taxes. The accountant is responsible
for preparing financial statements such as the income
statement, balance sheets, and cash flows. It is normally
passive work, in the sense that, the work has a very
independent nature to it such as preparing forms and
financial statements. It is a good job for people who want
to work independently and are very organized (this is only
a very brief description, if you are interested in
accounting, consult your accounting instructor for more
information).

Finance: The financial manager or consultant places primary emphasis on decision making. It uses the financial statements prepared by accountants to make decisions about the firm's financial condition and to advise others about possible losses and profits. In some cases, finance is more a type of leadership position. A financial manager has to deal not only with finance, but also with economics, accounting, statistics, math, and management. For example, people working with stocks and bonds have to understand and analyze how the underlying companies are performing. How a
given company is going to perform during recession? Should they sell or buy stocks or bonds. How a decrease in the interest rate in England may affect the projects a company has in that country. Finance also deals a lot with risk.

Derivative securities (options, futures, swaps, etc) are
used to hedge against possible increase in risk. Risk
managers are in great demand everywhere. Most finance
majors find jobs in banks and other financial institutions,
government, real estate, consultant companies, insurance,
investment companies, stock market exchanges, fundraising, and any firm that needs someone to make financial decisions

Financial accounts tells about financial position and financial performance of the company, hence the company publish the quarterly and annually reports to the shareholders and to the public

Finance is science, it deals with the money, risk, and the time.
