English term or phrase: financial translations by a specialist
This is related to a question I have asked several days ago. I’m looking for a new tagline and I want to make sure it is in good English. As I am not an English native speaker, I’m asking for your help. How do you find “financial translations by a specialist”? Is it good or should I drop it? Thanks!

agree  Armorel Young: I prefer this to "by a specialist", which leaves me asking "specialist in what?" - this is clearer.

  -> Thanks Armorel :)
agree  Charlie Bavington: yep, clearer, assuming this is what is meant.

  -> Thanks Charlie :)
neutral  Robert Donahue (X): I found exactly 19 hits for "Specialist Financial Translators" and exactly zero for "S. F. T." http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q="specialist financi... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q="specialist financi...

  -> As Mihail has made it clear to Mongol, he's chosen whatever he thought was appropriate. We have to assume that he's done his search and that, amybe, he's not using my term in exactly the same way I proposed, since it was just an option. Cheers!

Explanation:
"Expert" would sound better than "specialist".

neutral  Charlie Bavington: since you're obviously a little peeved, I should point out that "expert" and "specialist" do mean slightly different things....
23 hrs
  -> It is the second time that I got most agrees and did not win KudoZ from this particular asker. That's why I am a little "peeved". Please see http://www.proz.com/kudoz/989187?float=1
agree  NancyLynn: I agree with your answer, but I must remind you of KudoZ Rule 3.4 - Commenting to an asker regarding his/her decision to post a certain question, to grade a certain way, or to make a certain glossary entry, is strictly forbidden.
2 days 2 hrs
  -> Thank you for reminding me of KudoZ rules. I made such comments, because I was a bit upset by the way the asker graded his questions. I won't make such comments in the future. Thanks a lot, Nancy! :-)
