Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently composed from 'financial' (related to money) and 'officer' (a person in an organizational role), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer this refers to an officer who manages finances. This role+domain noun phrase is a common and cross-linguistically regular pattern, making the MWE immediately understandable from its parts.
Etymology
Financial officer comes from putting together financial, meaning 'about money', and officer, meaning 'an official who has duties'. Picture an official in an office who counts and protects the company's money, so financial officer means 'a person in charge of the company's funds'.
