Morphology
The meaning 'a person regarded as an expert in financial matters' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'financial' (connected with money) and 'guru' (a respected specialist). This adjective+noun composition follows normal English compositional patterns and does not rely on idiomatic or metaphoric shift, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Financial guru mixes financial, meaning about money, and guru, an old word for a wise teacher. Imagine a wise teacher guiding your money choices, and that picture explains why it means 'an expert who gives advice about money'.
