'one fated to be disbelieved' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'accountant's girl' is the wordplay.
'accountant's' becomes 'CA's' (abbreviation for chartered accountant).
'girl' becomes 'sandra' ().
'cas'+'sandra'='CASSANDRA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cassandra that I've seen before include "one anticipating disaster" , "forecaster" , "was unbelievable" , "Person who prophesies disaster, after Greek legend (9)" , "destined to be disbelieved?" .)
