……bean counter………

The bean counter in an organization is the person who watches over all the financial matters.  This is another word for the accountant.  The bean counter keeps track of the money in the bank, the invoices that must be paid and the payments to the employers.

Example:  The bean counter had an office near the boss because the chief always depended on her advice.
