English translation:Back Office

Explanation:
This is only a guess, but BO is quite commonly used for Back Office, and it would certainly fit the context. However, in your position I would be inclined to either ask the client for confirmation up front, or at the very least flag the term up in your finished translation.

Notes to answerer

Asker: No need to ask the client - this is almost certainly it! "Back Office" appears several times in the document; I was just scanning all of the "French" B- O- terms to see what it could be, that I had overlooked the French-English one.
