How do you pronounce it?

kaznačéj

The root of казначе́й is ка́зна, which originally referred to a physical chest or box used for storing valuables.
If you use the word казна (treasury) metaphorically, such as saying someone has a 'large treasury' of knowledge, it sounds much more poetic and archaic in Russian than it does in English.
In historical Russian contexts, the казначе́й was not just a bookkeeper but often a high-ranking court official with significant political influence.
