    ...Given this, I want to propose that the DBA's report direct to the CIO. Via the DBA Manager. I would also want to officially absorb (as it were) the Report writers. To make us truly a team of 5.

    This would solve the current reporting conflict firstly. And give us direct access to management meetings where often times [bad] decisions are made because there is no DBA presence to correct or coerce are more sensible approach.

    Is the company you work for a public company?  If so, then you may need to consider the separation of duties such that the people deploying and working on items in your production environment are different than the people working on the development and testing of those items.  Since you mentioned you currently report to the head of Finance Applications I figured there is some financial reporting this group is responsible for, and your processes may be audited at some point.
