If you want a more internationally-friendly term than the British "bursar", perhaps "financial administrator" (i.e. as a description rather than an established title). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bursar

agree  Elizabeth Spacilova: A very UK term. A more widely understood NA term would be [school] secretary.

  -> Thanks, Elizabeth, didn't know it was UK-centric. When I was teaching at OA here, they had a secretary and a bursar, so maybe there's the same differentiation in Slovakia.
