If I am not good in maths, can I still pursue CS?

Yes, you can still become a company secretary. Accounting has nothing to do with mathematics. At best, you will hit basic arithmetic (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and division if you make it into management), but you will never be asked to find the derivative of a multivariable function. In school, all the calculations you perform will be on the calculator, and in the workplace, it’s all computer-based. If I woke up tomorrow and realized I forgot all the math I learned in high school, I wouldn't hesitate to show up for work, knowing that I could still do my job. At the same time, you have to be comfortable with numbers. You won’t escape numbers. A large chunk of accounting involves attributing numbers to objects. When you’re not the one attributing numbers, you’re the one criticizing someone else’s numbers. Being bad at math will not hinder your chances of becoming a professional accountant, but being bad with numbers almost certainly will. Know what you’re capable of and choose accordingly.

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.
