I believe the answer is:

treasurer

'money man' is the definition.
(someone in charge of money)

'more positive after march for the most part' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'positive' could be 'sure' (similar in meaning) and 'sure' is found in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
'part' could be 'rear' (rear is a kind of part) and 'rear' is found in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
