Finance dept./finance office
And there's finance function.
I've used all of these for an internal company department -- depending on your context.

Hello
A quick search on Internet shows that there are many service providers calling themselves Ekonomibyrån
I think it's more likely to be a financial services company than a department (ekonomiavdelningen/finansavdelning) within a company

(ship) purser's / (BrE school) bursar's /(mil.) quartermaster's office
We need to know a unit of what, not only of a company.
Supplies dept.: Prisma.
Supplies dept.: Prisma.
Example sentence:
BrE Bursar: British a person who manages the financial affairs of a college or school.
On modern merchant ships, the purser is the officer responsible for all administration (including the ship's cargo and passenger manifests) and supply; frequently the cooks and stewards answer to them as well.
