Cope with success that's netted Bill a thousand (4,2)

'cope' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'success that's netted bill a thousand' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'bill' could be 'ac' (abbreviation for account) and 'ac' is found within the answer.
'thousand' could be 'k' (synonyms) and 'k' is located in the answer.
'success' could be 'hit' (a hit is a commercial success) and 'hit' is located in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'with' is the link.
