Go with a f-firm? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accompany

'go with' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a f-firm?' is the wordplay.
'f-firm?' becomes 'ccompany' ('company' said with a stutter like 'firm' was; I've seen this before).
'a'+'ccompany'='ACCOMPANY'

(Other definitions for accompany that I've seen before include "Travel along with" , "Go with as a companion" , "Unbelief" , "Escort" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
