I believe the answer is:

carmaker

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'manufacturer?' is the definition.
(I know that automobile manufacturer is a type of manufacturer)

'is accountant right to compel entrepreneur finally' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'accountant' could be 'ca' (abbreviation for chartered accountant) and 'ca' is located in the answer.
'right' could be 'make' (synonyms) and 'make' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to become' acts as a link.
