paymaster

Military salary officer

A paymaster is the person or office responsible for paying wages or salaries, especially in military or large institutional contexts.

More broadly, paymaster refers to whoever controls the money in an arrangement—and therefore holds power: He who pays the piper calls the tune, and the real paymaster here is the insurance company.
