Oncotic Cytology comprises the investigation of the morphological and functional characteristics of cells. The Pap smears is the preferred approach for laboratory evaluation. Serves as a valuable screening tool, capable of detecting cancer and pre-neoplastic lesions in the cervix. In the context of a Clinical Cytology Laboratory, financial management must follow unquestionable quality standards, as it is intrinsically linked to responsibility towards patients. It permeates all functions and areas of the laboratory, providing the basis for efficient market performance and enabling the business to achieve its objectives. This narrative review aimed to establish connections between the various arguments presented by researchers in the literature about the relevance of financial management in a Clinical Cytology Laboratory. The method used for data collection was literature review, for searching materials and articles on search sites Google Academic, PubMed (articles translated into Portuguese), BVSALUD. The materials were evaluated for their relevance to the study, prioritizing articles related to the research topic. After reading and recording the articles, the authors' arguments were carefully analyzed. This research focused on highlighting the relevance of financial management and its role in a Clinical Cytology Laboratory, facing the challenges of financial management, as technical skills end up standing out in relation to administrative skills. Therefore, the quality of management is essential, and is also a matter of responsibility towards patients.
