Wage cool firm brought to me (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

income

'wage' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cool firm brought to me' is the wordplay.
'cool' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean fashionable or cool).
'firm' becomes 'co' (a firm is a company).
'brought to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'in'+'co'+'me'='INCOME'

(Other definitions for income that I've seen before include "Pay earned" , "Financial gain accruing over a given period of time" , "Money earned" , "Wage" , "Money gained from work or investment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
