Morphology
The meaning 'an increase in money or assets' is directly derivable from combining 'financial' (related to money/finance) with 'gain' (profit or increase). This adjective + noun composition is fully compositional and common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Financial gain comes from two simple words: financial (about money) and gain (to get more). Picture a shopkeeper counting coins as the pile grows; that image of getting extra money shows why the term means 'an increase in money or assets'.
