Trigger Code:-

trigger CloneAccount on account (after insert) {
list<Account> accToClone = new list<Account>();
list<Account> accToSave = new list<Account>();
Set<Id> AccountIds = new Set<Id>();
For(account acc : trigger.new)
{
    AccountIds.add(acc.id);
    accToClone.add(acc);
}

    Map<Id,Account> accountMap = new Map<Id,Account>([
    select  Id, Name, Description,Type, Phone, Fax  from Account where Id IN: AccountIds]);

    for (Account acc :accToClone)
    {   Account Clone = new Account();
        Clone.Name =  accountMap.get(acc.id).Name;
        Clone.Type =  accountMap.get(acc.id).Type;
        Clone.Phone =  accountMap.get(acc.id).Phone;
        Clone.Fax =  accountMap.get(acc.id).Fax;
        Clone.Description =  accountMap.get(acc.id).Description;
        accToSave.add(Clone);
    }
    
    if(CloneAccountRecursive.isTrigger == True){
    CloneAccountRecursive.isTrigger = False;
    insert accToSave;
    }
}


Class Code: - 

public class CloneAccountRecursive{
    public static boolean isTrigger = true;
}
