Would a double major in Finance and CS be worth it at a Non-Target if it causes a 5th year?

I took a CS course this past semester and really have a nack for it (at least from what I can gather from one CS class) and I'm wondering if my goal is to be in Trading, in the end, would it be worth it to add another year of studying to get a double major in Finance and CS(with low math emphasis)?

Would the 5th year be frowned on?

I'm a sophomore who has already completed all the business major prereqs so switching major is outright impractical.
