Can someone from a Non IT or nonquantitative background move into cyber sec

Hello Everyone, can you please help me on deciding whether i should pursue a career in cyber security or not, I have a BA in Accounting but i would be more than happy for leaving the industry for learning cyber security and pursuing relevant certifications, however i am not sure whether employers of cyber security professionals would take this in a bad way as my background mostly is outside the scope of IT or quantitative subjects.
and if so how should i start in terms of learning (aside from (ISC)2 and comptia certifications as i think those will be the next step for me after i get the hang of the foundations first).
