Go with extra pie (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

turnover

'pie' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'go with extra' is the wordplay.
'go' becomes 'turn' ('turn' can be a synonym of 'go'**).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'extra' becomes 'over'.
'turn'+'over'='TURNOVER'

(Other definitions for turnover that I've seen before include "(Annual) money taken by business; small pie" , "The amount of money taken by a business in a particular period" , "volume of business" , "sales of > pastry?" , "Folded pie" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
