Shelf with right book for accountant (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ledger

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

'book for accountant' is the definition.
'ledger' can be an answer for 'book' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'for accountant' bit.

'shelf with right' is the wordplay.
'shelf' becomes 'ledge' (synonyms).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'ledge'+'r'='LEDGER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ledger that I've seen before include "Accounts journal" , "Elderly resident" , "In which accounts are entered" , "Heath -, Australian actor" , "Accounting journal" .)
