English term

bean counter

English to Italian Bus/Financial Finance (general)
The best way to justify a business expense, of course, is to demonstrate for the C-Suite that a positive return-on-investement (ROI) can be clearly associated with doling out cash. Wen we segment out survey respondent from the above mentioned Research a bit differently, comparing the business results of early sales technology adopters compared with lagging firms, we see in Figure 2 a clear and strong argument that even the Folks in finance should find compelling:
achieving a higher total team attainment of sales quota benefits the bean counters in a measurable way, because we know form Aberdeen's Sales Performace Management Research that it costs over $ 29,00 and takes 7,2 months to replace a typical B2B sales representant.


Il testo parla di un sondaggio sulle strategie di vendita.
Come posso riportare in modo adeguato "bean counters" in questo contesto?

Dal momento che si tratta di "A disparaging term for an accountant, or anyone excessively concerned with statistical records or accounts"
propongo questa resa.

Tutto sommato forse in italiano ridurre queste persone a una categoria meramente tecnica (ragioniere, ad esempio) basta, nel contesto.
