'stresses the need' is the definition.
'accents' can be an answer for 'stresses' ('accent' can be a synonym of 'stress'). I'm unsure of the 'the need' bit.

'cash on account?' is the wordplay.
'cash' becomes 'cents'.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'account?' becomes 'ac'.
'cents' put after 'ac' is 'ACCENTS'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for accents that I've seen before include "Strongly contrasting details" , "Brogues" , "eg Circumflexes" , "graves?" , "Dialects, articulations" .)
