If you look worse without one then go for it. The whole "professional look" thing is overrated anyways.

Don't listen to this idiot.

If you have to ask then you know the answer is it's not a good idea.

 

No facial hair in finance unless you are MD! Just like braces and bow ties are reserved for MDs, beards and moustaches are reserved for that group as well. If you work for government you can do whatever you want since you don't have to worry about image that clients see.

I am assuming that the firm in question is not the traditional financial firm and it is not in the traditional location for financial firms.
