Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: combining 'financial' (related to money) with 'analyst' (an expert who evaluates data) yields someone who analyzes financial matters. This is a productive, cross-linguistic noun‑noun/adjective + noun job-title pattern and would be immediately clear to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The compound noun financial analyst is like a money detective: financial means about money and analyst is someone who looks closely at information. They check company numbers and give advice, so the name means 'a person who studies money facts to help with investments'.
