One offering account from row thirteen, possibly: a person getting on? (4,7)

I believe the answer is:

bank manager

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

'one offering account from row thirteen' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'a person getting on?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is located in the answer.
'person' could be 'manager' (manager is a kind of person) and 'manager' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'possibly' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
