Check the unis requirements for accounting before making any decisions.
With regards to changing options, id speak to your school and see what they say. Different schools have different policies with regards to changing subjects (especially as you are in year 13). You may have to stay on another year though if you start a new a-level now.

You are fine, Maths plus anything else is the requirement for most accounting degrees, so you are fine with what you've got.
