Financial services


Explanation:
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

neutral  Agneta Pallinder: Depends on where Charles has got the "unit" from - if it is his text then it seems like an internal division rather than a freestanding service bureau.

(ship) purser's / (BrE school) bursar's /(mil.) quartermaster's office


Explanation:
We need to know a unit of what, not only of a company.

Supplies dept.: Prisma.

Example sentence(s):
  • 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.
