Accountant foolishly hires worker dealing with money (7)
I believe the answer is:
cashier
'accountant' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'foolishly hires worker dealing with money' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'hires' is 'shier' which is located in the answer.
'money' could be 'c' and 'c' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'a' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cashier that I've seen before include "Money handler; dismiss from the forces" , "I search (anag) - dismiss from armed forces with disgrace" , "banking officer" , "One handling money" , "Dismiss; receiver and payer of money" .)
