Physics or further maths a level

I need to choose whether to take physics or further maths for a levels.
I don't mind physics and looking forward to the calculation contents of it but not so much the forces etc part of it.
I'm good at maths and adore it. I want to have a job in finance or engineering in the future.
My gcse grades for maths and science
Edexcel maths:9
OCR add math:B
Aqa further maths:A
Edexcel core science:A
Edexcel add maths:A
Can someone please give me advice which one to do? Which one is easier?
Both exam boards for further maths and physics is edexcel

Anyone with a 9 in maths really ought to do further maths.

Just do further maths if you don't like physics, because by the middle of the course you won't put effort in because you don't enjoy it. With further maths you will because you like it. If you're really hell bent on engineering, physics would probably be pretty valuable though.
You should take the opportunity to take further maths and maybe even a degree in maths, you been given a real gift in maths.

Note you can do a finance related job with a engineering degree
