Gossip from account clerk (4-6)

I believe the answer is:

tale-teller

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

'account clerk' is the wordplay.
'account' becomes 'tale' (tale is a kind of account).
'clerk' becomes 'teller' (I've seen this before).
'tale'+'teller'='TALE-TELLER'

'from' acts as a link.

(Another definition for tale-teller that I've seen is " Gossip".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
