Morphology
The meaning 'a group overseeing financial matters' is directly and compositionally derived from 'finance' (financial matters) + 'committee' (a group formed to address specific matters). This noun+noun/attributive noun pattern is a common, transparent compositional structure in English (and in many other languages), so a B1 learner who knows the parts will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Finance committee paints a simple picture: finance means money or budgets and a committee is a small group chosen to make decisions. So, a finance committee is a group that 'looks after and decides about money matters'.
