Hi SAM,
IMHO, to be a good BCS consultant you'd better have accounting experience (or at least pass some accounting courses. ACCA-DipIFR is the best). It's the main prerequisite for a good BCS consultant -- to talk with accountants/finance people their language.
The BW knowledge is a HUGE plus. Having it, you'll be able to make the whole BCS project alone (certainly, if it is needed). And it's much easier to make decision about the BW layer of BCS project - I mean data preparation and loading, different staging schemes, especially for reading from datastream methods. Plus a good understanding of BEx queries creation. First, you control the reports design the client wants. Second, you may create queries that help you in testing of your system configuration.
FI/CO knowledge is certainly a plus. But IMHO it's not equivalent the accounting experience or knowledge (the latter is preferrable).
Hope this helps.
