I have a contact related to 3 accounts, how do I see easily which accounts they are related to?

I recently started using related contacts and I have been setting up contacts that related to multiple accounts, but I want to easily be able to see a list of the accounts they are related to.  Ideally I would love to click on the contact name and have them listed on the contact card or something similar.

The simple way is .. 

Go to  the list view and sort based on the Account name you can able see or write the lightning component to see from the contact

If I sort by account name how would I see that the contact is associated with another account?  For Example if the account name is ABC Bar and the contact is Tom Smith but he is also associated with ZYX Bar then they would not appear on the list near each other to know it is the same person.

How do I go about creating a custom component?

Hi Jeff,
If you are going for a custom solution, Create a lightning component where use the hasRecordId interface to get the current contact id from the URL hack.
Then based on the contact Id, You can display all the related account details on the lightning data table and add created lightning component in the contact page.
This solution also solves your issue.
