It depends what type of financial help they need. If it is tax advice go to an accountant, for cash flow, overdraft and loan help, the best choice is a bank. For help with insurances, pensions etc, go to an independent financial adviser.

The answers above are for guidance only and should not be acted upon without you receiving independent financial advice relevant to your circumstances. To find an IFA please go to http://www.unbiased.co.uk
