Morphology
The compound is fully compositional: a 'brokerage firm' is simply a firm that does brokerage (i.e., a company acting as an intermediary for buying and selling). This noun–noun construction follows a common, transparent pattern and is easily inferable by a B1 learner who knows 'brokerage' and 'firm'.
Etymology
Brokerage firm comes from broker, a person who stands between buyers and sellers, and firm, meaning a company. Imagine a broker passing offers between two people and taking a small 'fee' for the help, so brokerage firm means a company that connects buyers and sellers and charges for that service.
