Is the word financeiro the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "financeiro" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammatical function in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. It can function as an adjective (e.g., setor financeiro) or as a noun referring to a finance department or official (e.g., o financeiro). The only difference lies in pronunciation: in Continental Portuguese, the vowels are more closed and subject to significant reduction, whereas in Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are more open and clearly articulated.
