It is proved that every function of finite Baire index on a separable metric space $K$ is a $D$-function, i.e., a difference of bounded semi-continuous functions on $K$. In fact it is a strong $D$-function, meaning it can be approximated arbitrarily closely in $D$-norm, by simple $D$-functions. It is shown that if the $n^{th}$ derived set of $K$ is non-empty for all finite $n$, there exist $D$-functions on $K$ which are not strong $D$-functions. Further structural results for the classes of finite index functions and strong $D$-functions are also given.
