Financial official (9)

I believe the answer is:

paymaster

(Other definitions for paymaster that I've seen before include "Official handing out money to troops or workers" , "Salary official" , "Official dealing with wages" , "Government official" , "funding source" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
