Best second major for M/A or trading specialist

I am a sophomore majoring in finance and am interested in taking on a second major to give myself an advantage. I feel as if either accounting or economics is good to suplement finance, but I feel that it would depend on whether you want to go into either M/A or trading. I still can't decide which one to focus on, but my opinion is that accounting would be best for M/A and economics for trading? Not sure, just would like some opinions on what worked for you. Thanks!
