Hi,

A basic comprehension of General Accounting is a must. This is very easy - grab a test book anywhere - your library on Accounting Basics, to get a grasp of Debits/Credits, and some very basic payroll functions. A level 1 course in Excel would be a true advantage as well. These look very well on your resume as well. Go for it. It's easy and attainable. You can self-teach yourself or take a night course or even an online course. Good luck!
