From what I've read, accounting is mostly not about math, it's about classification. The math involved is pretty much just the four basic functions (+, -, x, / ). The trick is knowing what to put where.
Macro- and micro-economics is mostly concepts, not calculations.
Finance is more math-heavy, but I just passed the Principles of Finance DSST, and math has always been my weakest subject. 70% of the questions on the version of the exam I got involved no calculation. You just needed to understand the concepts involved. So I could have gotten none of the calculation questions right and still passed the test.
If you do CLEP/DSST exams, you don't need a graphing calculator for any of those; in fact, I don't think you'd be allowed to use one, since they're generally programmable. (A financial calculator was helpful for the Finance DSST.) I can't speak to the SL courses, since I haven't taken any.
Now, I can't say just how much of a problem math is for you, so YMMV, but you really don't need to be a math whiz to pass those exams.
Unless you're really pressed for time, you could do some prep for one of the CLEPs and see how it goes. It might turn out to be less of an issue than you fear. Until you actually sign up for the exam, it doesn't have to cost you anything -- there's various free resources on the Internet that you can use for studying, not to mention what your public library probably has.
ADDENDUM: Oh, I hadn't noticed you've done Stats and College Algebra. Those subjects are both way more mathematical than anything in the business core classes. If you can handle the math in those, you can certainly handle the math in intro finance, accounting, and econ!
