How To Name An Accounting Firm
Are you wondering how to come up with an accounting firm name? This short how-to guide will show you where to start and highlight some of the biggest mistakes to avoid.
Create an accounting word list
The most important tool for generating names is a list of seed words. This simple activity gets your creative brain firing. You can come up with your own list or check out bookkeeping business names for a few starter words.
Try your name or initials
If it’s not in your business plan to expand or sell your accounting firm then you can always consider using the name of the founder(s). Add these to your seed word list.
Apply a common formula
The easiest way to generate your first new accounting firm names is to combine seed words with popular suffixes. Some of the most popular accounting firm endings are listed below.

Check your professional association regulations

Avoid other restricted words
Depending on which state or country you plan to register your accounting firm, different words may be prohibited in your name.
