Can I upgrade my iMac from Catalina directly to Ventura?

Can I jump from my currently installed iOS Catalina on my iMac 2020 to iOS Ventura? I use my computer for my business and I'm afraid something will go wrong with skipping over two prior iOS system updates (I never installed Big Sur or Monterey).

There is no requirement to install Big Sur & Monterey before Ventura. Use the instructions in the following and be sure to make a backup as described there: Upgrade to macOS Ventura - Official Apple Support
