I'm particularly glad that the writer emphasises that translations should be elegant.

Resources for financial translators
Here are main resources which I would recommend for anyone wanting to specialise in financial translation:
- Dictionnaire de la comptabilité et de la gestion financière, Louis Ménard (third edition if you can ever get hold of it in Europe!) for French>English
- Wörterbuch für das Bank- und Börsenwesen, Hans Zahn, for German>English
- The Council of Europe French-English Legal Dictionary, Frank Bridge (old but useful, the dictionary that is, not Mr Bridge, whose worth I am unable to calculate)
- Subscription to FT.com
- Subscription to The Economist
- Subscription to eIFRS (my latest move), which is vital if you translate the financial statements of any company that publishes under IFRS
