Goes forward or returns (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

proceeds

I believe this is a double definition.

'goes forward' is the first definition.
('proceed' can be a synonym of 'go forward')

'returns' is the second definition.
(financial returns)

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for proceeds that I've seen before include "Income, from an event say" , "takes steps" , "Return" , "Take" , "Amount of money from sale or performance - on it goes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
