Public relations circle able to obtain a financial benefit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

profit

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

'a financial benefit' is the definition.
'profit' can be an answer for 'benefit' (I've seen this before). I also know that 'financial' relates to this answer.

'public relations circle able' is the wordplay.
'public relations' becomes 'PR' (abbreviation).
'circle' becomes 'O' (O is a circle).
'able' becomes 'fit' (similar in meaning).
'pr'+'o'+'fit'='PROFIT'

'to obtain' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for profit that I've seen before include "Yield - gain" , "Net gain after expenses" , "Financial gain" , "Advantage, benefit" , "It's gained on a transaction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
