The Broker is a useful noble with no Demands or Requirements. They have several duties in the running of an organised fortress.
If the broker has the Appraiser skill, they will allow you to see the count of your fortresses Wealth in the Status screen (z). The exactness with which this can be seen is determined by the duties of the Bookkeeper. Your broker should also have the Judge of intent skill to see how traders react to trade offers.
At the trade depot, you can specify that only the broker may Trade with visiting caravans. The advantage of this is that the broker gains skill in appraisal as he trades, which both allows the display of fortress wealth and helps with getting the best deals in your trading efforts. The disadvantage, however, is that convincing your broker to go to the trade depot in a timely manner can at times be frustratingly difficult. Once your broker has gained the necessary skills and your fortress has plentiful trade goods, allowing other dwarves to trade will spread out experience gains and ensure a prompt response.
