preview: This is the right answer. A "preview" of a film, a show, etc. is an advance viewing or performance: a chance to see it before it is officially released to the general public. In the dialogue, Hannah is lucky enough to see "a preview" of Icarus' Finance Report.

This is not true. Icarus offers his colleagues a "special preview of (his) wonderful Finance Report". He is not going to see a film preview.
This is a true statement. Icarus says "I've just put the finishing touches on the biannual finance report! It's a beauty." The "finishing touches" are the "final details" of a piece of work. Icarus is delighted that he has completed this report. Icarus likes finance very much.
This statement is true. Icarus asks Hannah and Philip if they would like a "preview" of his finance report, then he says "I'll send you both an advance copy this afternoon". This means that he will send the document to Hannah and Philip before anyone else sees it. A "preview" refers to an advance or preliminary viewing, for example: Bruno was lucky to see a preview of the film Rocky 14 before the public see it.
