"Financial analysts
Also called securities analysts and investment analysts. Professionals who analyze financial statements, interview corporate executives, and attend trade shows, in order to write reports recommending either purchasing, selling, or holding various stocks. "

I believe (so take it with a pinch of salt, k?):
Investment banker= looks for investment opportunities for a bank
Broker= person who works in a stock exchange to facilitate selling/buying
Financial analyst= finds data with which he analysts financial trends
Financial Officer= one of the top dogs in a company. CFO is right below a CEO
