Let me try and be more clear, I work in a bank and want to move into a position that will likely require more financial statement analysis, I would imagine things such as ROI/ROCE/gearing etc. nothing too hectic but probably some equations etc. I just want a basic maths refresher book. Cheers!
Strange enough to quote yourself?
If you live anywhere near a university, I'd recommend going to its nearest bookshop and asking them for a first year book in the subject you're looking for (I assume it would be actuarial maths?). I'd assume most university bookshops will have a list of required books for at least first year, Blackwells at Edinburgh Uni certainly did the last time I was there.

Depending on what you wish to learn, and how basic you want. I'd recommend BBC Bitesize, And start at Keystage 3, If that's the sort of area you need a refresher in.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/maths/
It gives you revision, and then tests on each area. It's pretty good.

If it's undergraduate level then I highy suggest paying a visit to MIT OpenCourseWare
