Switch from accounting to finance role

I’ve been studying accounting and have done a couple of internships, but I’m realizing that I might want to switch to a more finance-focused role, like financial analysis or investment banking. What steps should I take to make this transition? Do I need to get additional certifications, or can I leverage my accounting background to move into finance? I’m not sure how to make this switch without starting from scratch. Happy to hear your thoughts.
