Master in Finance programs only require stats and calc. Anything more than that and you are talking about MFE programs. Just about every MSF program I know about (which is pretty much all of them in the US) have an econometric’s class and maybe a theory class. This is where you are going to use your calc and stats. Derivatives, Fixed Income, Valuation, etc all use simple math and algebra.

OP - With that background you are eligible to apply to all MSF programs. You should be fine. You can also apply to the UVA MS Commerce program as your econ background isn’t considered business, which they do not allow into their program. You will be fine, don’t worry.
