How a man may be called to give account (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bill

This clue is a double definition.

'how a man may be called' is the first definition.
(man's name)

'account' is the second definition.
('bill' can be a synonym of 'account')

'to give' is the link.

(Other definitions for bill that I've seen before include "Promontory; beak" , "Chap" , "Banknote; beak" , "Beak; poster" , "Projecting mouth of a bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
