What the Account Finance Analyst family covers
New Jersey classifies Account Finance Analyst as a 2-level series holding 2 separate title codes. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.
Money titles are among the most portable in New Jersey government. The accounting, audit, budget and revenue series run in near-identical form at the state, in county finance offices and inside local civil service jurisdictions, which is why the same family often appears with both state and local codes. Requirements usually lean on a degree with accounting coursework rather than a license, and the CPA sits above the entry bar rather than at it. Promotion tends to follow the ledger: staff work first, then review of other people's work, then responsibility for a whole fund or program.
What each title does
The specifications themselves are the clearest guide to what separates these titles. Here is how each one opens.

Getting in: the stated requirements
None of the specifications in this family names a degree requirement, which places these titles among the New Jersey positions open to applicants without formal higher education. On how the jobs are filled: 2 are unclassified, which means appointment at the employer's discretion and salary set individually.
Who actually employs these titles
State payroll records show 4 people working under 2 of this family's titles, spread across 1 agency. Casino Control Commission alone accounts for about 100% of them.
- Casino Control Commission — 4 employees
Median actual pay varies across the family, from $84,261 for Account Finance Analyst 2 up to $118,622 for Account Finance Analyst 3. Those are medians of what people are really paid, not schedule minimums and maximums.
State payroll only, deduplicated by payroll title; local employers file separately, so a family with local codes looks smaller here than it is. How this is counted.
How the pay is set
No state salary schedule applies here, because these are local titles. Pay is set by each adopting county, municipality or authority under its own ordinance or negotiated agreement, so two employers using the same title code can pay very differently. How local civil service pay works.
Where these jobs exist
These are state titles, hired by New Jersey departments, commissions and boards through the Civil Service Commission's announcement and eligible list process rather than by an ordinary job posting. How state hiring works, and which agencies employ what.
