Would this service be for an individual on a one by one basis, like say a tutor?

Is this a useful service, rather than a luxury?

Some services that might be provided by the general profession to which I belong would probably be considered as useful, while others might be more of a luxury.
I will note that while the broad organization with which I work does provide various services, my own role in the enterprise is typically fairly remote from those aspects of the organization.

Is your occupation what one might describe as a "support" role, such as corporate finance, HR, and the like?

I think that I would have to give that a no, as I think it would be stretching it way too much to try to fit anything I do in with those categories.

I have at times been the head of the organization, but have at other times worked for others.

It is certainly the case that a significant amount of monetary resources pass through my hands.

When you worked for others, was it in the same organization that you headed?

There are distinguishable organizations, some of which I've headed and in some of which I've worked for others, so I think the answer to your question is no.
This may be a disputable point, however.

That's already been asked, but, yes, the intention of this organization is to make a profit.

Well, I've said that there's multiple organizations in play, here, but at least some of them would be correctly described as using my name.

this is a tough one. I think this will be wrong, but here goes.
Are you a philanthropist Like Bruce Wayne?

So, one of the disadvantages of playing the game this way is that you lose out on the reactions of the audience, guest, and host. I'm pretty sure that guess would result in massive No, I am not a philanthropist like Bruce Wayne.

Okay, hint time, I guess.
So while the industrialist guess was wrong, this is an occupation that Lex Luthor has held.

hmmmm.... was Luthor ever a Fuller Brush man?
Does your occupation involve the construction of mechanical devices like Tony Stark's does?

Another hint:
While this is not Bruce Wayne's occupation, a famous quote from Bruce Wayne makes reference to this occupation.
