Holiday with Virginia gets accountant into trouble (8)
I believe the answer is:
vacation
'holiday' is the definition.
('vacation' can be a synonym of 'holiday')
'virginia gets accountant into trouble' is the wordplay.
'virginia' becomes 'va' (US state abbreviation).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'accountant' becomes 'ca' (abbreviation for chartered accountant).
'trouble' indicates anagramming the letters.
'into' is an anagram of 'tion'.
'va'+'ca'+'tion'='VACATION'
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for vacation that I've seen before include "Leave" , "Leisure time away from work" , "Holiday period" , "break" , "An American holiday" .)
