Answer:

Implementation steps are more or less the same in any case. After gaining the to management support, you need to define scope of the QMS and in your case it is only finance department, this will mean that your QMS will consider the rest of the company as external entity. Then you need to create all mandatory documents required by the standard and implement or update activities and processes in order to be compliant with requirements of the standard.

The most common approach is to exclude finance department from the QMS scope since the finance department doesn't affect quality of your service or customer satisfaction. As you probably saw when reading ISO 9001 standard there are no requirements regarding finance department. For more information, see: How to define the scope of the QMS according to ISO 9001:2015 https://advisera.com/9001academy/knowledgebase/how-to-define-the-scope-of-the-qms-according-to-iso-90012015/

In your document about scope of ISO 9001 or Quality Manual you can state the exclusion of the clause about design and development and provide justification for it and that is your company doesn't conduct design and development. For more information, see: What clauses can be excluded in ISO 9001:2015? https://advisera.com/9001academy/blog/2015/07/07/what-clauses-can-be-excluded-in-iso-90012015/2015/

You can use this Free ISO 9001:2015 Gap Analysis Tool - https://advisera.com/9001academy/iso-9001-gap-analysis-tool/ and apply it to your department. First, it is better to check with your Quality Manager if the Finance Department is included in the Quality Management System. In many companies it is not included explicitly, in some companies participants for example while negotiating conditions with customers (clause 8.2).
