The Director of Finance is an ex officio member of the Legislative Assembly and the Executive Council, and also acts as Stanley's returning officer during general and by-elections in the absence of the Chief Executive. The Director of Finance is not permitted to be a member of the Public Accounts Committee.

The current Director of Finance is James Wilson, who took up office in 2017.^[1]
