It depends on the nature of your work.

  1. If you are doing finance, you don’t need to understand databases.
  2. If you are doing financial informatization, you need to understand finance and also databases.
  3. If you are working in a digital enterprise, you not only need to understand finance but also business, and you need to master computer knowledge including but not limited to TOGAF, PM, network security, databases and big data, a programming language (recommended scripting language Python), DB, networking, cloud computing, etc.
