THE BANKER
www.thebanker.com
A sleek website from the publishers of the sleek and expensive magazine The Banker. Lots of free news, articles and an archive going back to 1999. A good reference site for those interested in the area, and doesn’t require too much specialist knowledge.

BANK TRACK
www.banktrack.org
Easy-to-use website from an organisation that aims to monitor private finance organisations’ and banks’ involvement in deals that affect the planet. Its dodgy deals section tells you which banks are backing deals to rip up the Amazon rainforest.

BRITISH BANKERS’ ASSOCIATION
www.bba.org.uk
This website for the banking and financial services’ trade association is not the most exciting-looking but contains plenty of good, straightforward information about the sector and lots of interesting facts and figures.

FINANCIAL CAREERS
www.efinancialcareers.co.uk
A lively financial news and careers site. Features include live chats with recruiters, corporate profiles and recruitment deadlines. Learn all about traditional banking roles – and new ones such as interdealer brokers.

CAREERS IN INSURANCE
www.insurancecareers.cii.co.uk
An excellent website that makes insurance look like the most interesting career on the planet. Check out details of the first insurance recruitment fair, to be held on October 31, to get in on the action.

ACCOUNTANCY AGE
www.accountancyage.com
The best of the accountancy magazine websites. This site has plenty of news and features plus interesting analysis and blogs.

FACULTY AND INSTITUTE OF ACTUARIES
www.actuaries.org.uk
A professional site for actuaries and people looking to hire an actuary. On an otherwise uninspiring site, the careers section stands out as well designed and informative.

www.accaglobal.com
A striking yellow-and-grey design and solid advice about accountancy.

CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTANTS
www.cimaglobal.com
