For someone in finance, I generally think of a fairly formal serif style ... conveys formality, trustworthiness, established etc.. I would look through your fonts for larger families such as Palatino, Garamond, Caslon, Bodoni and choose what suits you. The reason for a large family is to have lots of weights with italics available for different situations.

BTW, you might want to check the spelling of Catalst. Sounds like you meant catalyst.

 

If you are willing to spend some money (charge the customer) you should check out...
http://www.fontshop.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalog.home

Click on the links for sans, serif, etc. They list some new/popular ones on the right column

They have a lot of the fonts that are quite unique. Look for something other than the old standbys: Futura, Garamond, Palatino, Franklin Gothic, Optima. Those are nice fonts, but they are everywhere. Unless you/they don't want to spend the money, you should check this site out. And you can typeset and preview the various fonts - try before you buy.

Whatever you do, try to avoid any font that comes standard with Windows/Macs. They are overused.

 

One more thing from that site...
http://www.fontshop.com/features/free.cfm

They offer one free mac/win ps/ttf each month. Very good stuff, nothing ugly or common. I urge everyone to bookmark this to add fonts to your collection.
