Accounting Specialization

Is an accounting specialization in addition to a finance specialization worth it? At my school, you major in business and then choose a specialization, but you can choose two. I'm basically wondering if banking employers (I'm interested in S&T/I-banking/AM) would be more impressed by an accounting specialization or not. I've already taken Financial/Managerial accounting so it would involve taking a few more courses farther up. Thanks for any help.

PS: Would a real estate minor look good at all?
