Its very simple. Just write a trigger on Salesforce object named "FeedItem".

This link would help you know which fields we can leverage to process a chatter post on account: https://www.salesforce.com/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_objects_feeditem.htm

On Feeditem object "ParentId" is the field where you can link the account record with the chatter post. Hope it help!
