With a deeply cut finger, you'll want to be thinking about sutures. This isn't a classical First Aid procedure unless you're over 10 hours from help or doing military medic work. In this case, use direct presssure and a sterile gauze (or a few of them) to stop the bleeding, then bandage the gauze in place and transport to someone who can sututre the wound closed. Don't apply any antiseptic at all. In any case, while hydrogen peroxide is an excellent antiseptic, it's harsh on your cells. If I had to disinfect on-scene, I'd prefer to go with Betadyne. However, H2O2 would likely be next on my list. I might first flush a dirty wound with sterile water or normal saline.

Don't use alcohol to disinfect a deep wound.

No, it is not recommended to put hydrogen peroxide on a deeply cut finger as it can harm the delicate tissues and slow down the healing process. Instead, clean the wound gently with mild soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover it with a bandage to protect it from infection. If the cut is deep or shows signs of infection, seek medical attention.
