I hear someone coming to check (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

auditor

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

'someone coming to check' is the wordplay.
'someone coming' becomes 'or' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'check' becomes 'audit' (I've seen this before).
'or' after 'audit' is 'AUDITOR'.

(Other definitions for auditor that I've seen before include "Money expert" , "Accounts verifier" , "One inspects the accounts" , "One qualified to check accounts" , "I hear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
