Effect of Major in Moving Up?

Just a few quick questions regarding the value of accounting and CPA in terms of working up to the corp fin(or CFO at small company) ladder. Currently a finance major(Junior), could get a double major in accounting and only have to attend 1 extra quarter? Curious on the affect of accounting in terms of moving up ladder, when I already am almost complete with Finance degree?
