Societe


Explanation:
If it is an invoice, I believe that "Affaires" would be "Matter", "Soc." would be "Societe", "CB" would be "Compte Bancaire" and "Act." (and this is actually more of a guess than the others) could be "Activite" as "type of work done" which seems to be categorized. I hope this helps.

  -> I chose 100% because there's no 110% ... Do we need more context to translate Soc. for Society? Thank you for taking the time to give your opinion ...
