In the shogunate, the Kane-bugyō were classified as hatamoto officials under the jurisdiction of the kanjō-bugyō. Standard reference works describe the office as having four regular posts with stipends of around 200 koku (or the equivalent in rice allowances and salary), and note that similar positions existed in many domains, where they supervised domain treasuries and cash flows.
