accomplice, accomplish

Accomplice or accomplice means a partner in crime; a confederate or co-conspirator--
There are two sets of footprints--he must have had an accomplice.
She was a willing accomplice to the robbery, and will probably serve at least two years.

Accomplish or accomplish means to achieve; to carry out, perform, or finish--
We won't be able to accomplish all of this in one weekend.
First try to accomplish the task, then you can work on doing it more quickly.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"He needed an accomplice to help him accomplish the burglary he was planning."
