Without having used it, knowing it only by (extremely high) reputation, the HP-12C is the gold standard for financial calculators, and has been for over 20 years. There's also the HP-12C Platinum. Both have statistical functions. They most likely cover anything you'd come across, but should cross reference desired features with listed features. Also should double check if calculators are allowed on the exam you plan to take by looking at the exam bulletin.
I am partial to the idea of getting a calculator that excels at finance for finance, and another that excels at statistics for statistics, ensuring that it is within the allowed calculator parameters for the exam in question. Unless you have a software based calculator on your Palm or somesuch that can easily toggle between modes, which is moot, as the exam testing procedures still stuck in the 90s and don't allow PDA/smartphone-based calculations.
