Its' aim is to promote efficient, orderly and fair financial markets and help retail financial service consumers get a fair deal.

Nice staff but expect a long wait in the summer months even if you have pre ordered your currency
Cheltenham were taking the overflow calls from the call centre today and we were so very lucky because it meant we got to speak to the most amazing lady (Jo). The patience of saint doesn't even come close. We were booking a group family holiday, everybody with different requirements and having to get flights for my brother from Amsterdam through another company to marry up to the holiday. we were having three way conversations with other family members and it was nightmare but Jo was simply fantastic. Even though it was a couple of hours past her home time she was still patiently sorting out our family and with a smile and laugh. Anyone who has the opportunity to book through her is extremely lucky as she is totally dedicated to her customers and goes well above and beyond the requirements of her Job. Thank you Jo! You made the organisation of this trip happen! If I had been in your office and not half way across the country I would have hugged you!! xx

Financial Times. It's pink, a global resource and required reading for the industry.
Link to Retirement Advice with lots of information about pensions.
Tax advice and forms. Info re. income, corporation, capital gains and inheritance taxes.
Inland Revenue's Internet service for self assessment. In common with most Government sites it looks as though it was designed by an undertaker. However, once we had gone through the long winded verification process, we did manage to pay our personal tax in minutes without the site crashing which was great.
Sadly the site is still a work in progress if you have a partnership or a trust. Incredibly these organisational forms still require third party software to enter their accounts. Remarkably HMRC seem quite happy with this situation!
