When I’m done with High School I want to study business, accounting or finance. I do understand the basic mathematical things, but not the complicated things… is it necessary to be good at mathematics?

Most business math isn’t that complicated. If you can do arithmetic, you can do accounting. Finance often requires some knowledge of statistics and calculus, but it tends to be in the context of whatever you’re doing, which usually makes it easier to grasp than pure math.
Not at all. I’m an accountant myself. You don’t have to be super good at math, but of course, you have to know the basics of addition, subtraction and so on. Also, you get calculators and programs to do the hard math for you. lol
It does help but its not essential. Business in college is usually marketing, business studies and accounting. Obviously it helps with accounting but not so much with the other two.
It is all really basic math. There really is no complicated math you will do (the highest math class you will take is calculus I, and you will probably not even use math as complicated as calc in your business classes).
