10 points. Do I have to have accounting/finance experiences to be a HR officer?

Question

Will you train the right employees if they don't have accounting or finance experiences?

Answer 1

no finance or acct experience is needed for hr in medium to large size firms. in small firms this may be needed simply because they do not have the need for full time staff in both positions

Answer 2

HR and accounting are two different departments.  Sometimes they do cross over.  I'm an accounting manager but I assist the HR department.  It all depends on what the job description says.
