Financier

Financier is a french word that derives from finance which means payment. A financier today is someone who makes their living off investments, particularly in investing in up and coming companies and businesses. Money is made by a financier when their investment is paid back with interest or from a certain percentage of the company awarded to them as specified by the business deal. The word financier also is synonymous with someone who handles money in any form, noted especially for his or her skill in doing so. By today's standards both a personal accountant and a stockbroker could then be considered financiers.
