Hi Paige- I'll echo what Dante said - the professionals in financial services are very happy with dense information. If you are afraid of making your screens dense, you can often slow down the interaction enough to frustrate these users.
This is an area that really needs good personas and task analysis. I've benefited from personas more in FS than in other industries. It also helps to be aware and sensitive to the other tools that will share screen space and attention with yours. These users multi-task a lot, and often juggle tasks through the day. Third, get to know the language and use it appropriately in the interface. As with most experts, FS professionals use jargon both to speed communication and as a badge of membership. Hope that helps, Andrea . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
