Accounting

In India, Ph.Ds operate in a three-tiered system, commencing with an undergraduate Bachelor's degree, followed by postgraduate Master's and Ph.D degrees. In some cases, candidates can do Ph.D without doing post graduation too, but they will usually be required to complete a larger coursework component when enrolling for a PhD. So, you can choose what you want to do.
Good news for CSs: There are some universities in India which have recognised the Company Secretaryship qualification as equivalent to postgraduate degree for pursuing Ph.D. Sardar Patel Universit-Gujarat, South Gujarat University-Surat, Maharishi Dayanand University-Haryana, Guru Nanak Dev University-Punjab, Punjab University-Chandigarh, Nagpur University-Maharashtra, etc., are a few names of who have recognized CS course as PG so you can go there to do Ph.D.
If I talk about benefits then you can get yourself an opportunity to go into academics and research part abroad. Even in India, if you get a good opportunity, you can enter into academics as it is also a highly rewarding career. As far as any other job is concerned, the only thing is you get the highest respect of being a Ph.D. As the financial rewards grow only with your experience.
I hope this would suffice.

You can surely pursue CS as it doesn't consist of hardcore mathematics. Yes, however, it is not exclusively maths but some or the other form of maths.
For instance, you can count accounting as a form of maths solely because it involves numbers, but the concepts and rules of accounting are by themselves independent and unique and are not mathematical.
On the other hand, advanced subjects like Costing and Financial Management are mathematical. However, be advised that these subjects make up hardly 20% of the total course and are not as focused on maths as the one's in CA or CMA.
CS moreover focuses on Company and corporate laws. It is moreover important to have a detailed knowledge of the theoretical part. Practical knowledge is important. However, a company secretary directly doesn't involve practically into accountancy work. He/she is an officer who has to keep a check and balance over the entire working of the company for efficient administration.
I hope this would suffice.
