you said u r from a financial background, and as per ur comments I think you want to work as a Business Analyst, so just to let you know, there are some BAs who will work as a financial analyst or financial business analyst,, and working as a BA, it is not necessary for you to know different technical terms..or languages like java, c# etc...because there are developers who work on these things,,

as a business analyst what u need to focus on is: you should be able to communicate the ideas of business or your client to the developer...and to communicate those ideas you create a flowchart showing how the process should flow...and i think you know how to create a flow chart,,,(it is more than just creating a flow chart but everything that u create will be based on the concepts of flowchart)

and for financial business analyst, the main thing you need to know is all about some financial terms like debt ratio or whatever,,,
