Employers have no strong preference towards particular ones.

What would make more sense is how the type of training derived from particular majors would support your ability to perform in certain roles. Now I guess that would play a part in the employer's decision process. Therefore it's job/role dependent.

But generally, at the undergraduate level, leading to an entry-level job, there won't be much of a difference between matching finance, accounting, marketing, and economics.

Select the ones that interest you most. Because that's the only way you can score good marks. Scoring well also stems from your ability to think in depth, which also suggests that you can at least "talk the talk" better than your peers. And your scores are what an employer would strongly place emphasis on.

Personally, I think a mix of finance and economics major, with minors in marketing, management, and entrepreneurship would do really good in training up your knowledge and thinking skills. Accounting complements finance well too. But in the real world, all that I mentioned complement each other, so...
