Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'account' (a client's financial/ service record) combined with 'representative' (a person acting on others' behalf) yields a person who manages or represents client accounts. This follows regular English noun–noun/head noun patterns and has clear cross‑linguistic parallels, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning without prior exposure.
Etymology
Account representative comes from the simple idea of a person who 'stands for' a client's account and acts as their representative. Imagine someone who speaks for the client and looks after their needs, so today an account representative is the person who manages and helps clients with their accounts.
