Let balance dip into red, about to take advantage of charity (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

good cause

'charity' is the definition.
(I know that charity can be written as good cause)

'let balance dip into red about to take advantage' is the wordplay.
'let balance dip into red' becomes 'go OD' (go overdrawn).
'about' becomes 'ca' (circa).
'to take advantage' becomes 'use' (I've seen this in another clue).
'good'+'ca'+'use'='GOOD CAUSE'

'of' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
