How to say "treasurer" in Japanese

Choosing the right word
  • nounA katakana loanword for the English 'treasurer', such as in club or organization officer titles. It is a less common choice; most situations are better expressed with a native Japanese word.
  • 会計官かいけいかん
    nounCovers 'treasurer' as an official in charge of accounting or finances, often in a government or institutional post. It also means 'accountant', so the exact sense depends on context.
  • 勘定係かんじょうがかり
    nounThe person who handles money and accounts, glossed as cashier, accountant, and treasurer. It suits a treasurership understood as day-to-day bookkeeping and cash handling rather than a high office.
  • 出納係りすいとうがかり
    nounA clerk who receives and pays out money, glossed as cashier, teller, and treasurer. It fits when 'treasurer' means the person literally keeping the cash records, not a policy-level official.
  • 財務相ざいむしょう
    nounMeans 'Minister of Finance', glossed here as Treasurer; this reflects usage in some English-speaking governments where the finance minister is titled Treasurer. Use it only for that cabinet-level sense.

Choose by setting: 財務相 is a cabinet-level finance minister, 勘定係 and 「出納係り」 are clerical cash-handling roles, 会計官 is an accounting official, and 「トレジャラー」 is a rare loanword for treasurer.
