That's a tough one. Not too wild about Keeping Tabs, though.

Practical Financial Solutions. I'm trying to think of something that tells individuals that it's aimed at them though, not businesses.

Best to come up with a list of at least ten names and then trim it down to three. Then pick a winner. Take your time as good names usually need to sink in over the course of a week.

EVERY small business is looking to get more organized now that easy money has dried up. So I think your timing is perfect. And people are looking for outsourced services rather than adding on full time bookkeepers to get organized. Put your two ideas on that list, but your gut instinct is right. Those names are somewhat generic. But put them on the list because you might modify them or integrate them with other concepts.

Direct:
-Accounting2U
-On Site Accounting
-On the Go Accounting

Catchy:
-Merry Money
-Travelling Tax Lady
-Accounting For All
-Financial Express

Conservative:
-Elemental Accounting
-Method Accounting

Synonyms for Organized (I picked organized because the world is full of aptly named accounting firms. Focusing on the term "organized" will help to differentiate your business and take advantage of the current economic MESS.) That and on-site are, in my opinion, the two most important marketing tools for your concept.

organized (adj)

Synonyms: prearranged, prepared, planned, ordered, systematized, controlled, structured, well thought-out, methodical, logical, orderly, reasonable, sensible, systematic, regular, arranged, systematized
Synonyms: catalogued, classified, coordinated, correlated, formed, formulated, grouped, methodized, standardized, straightened out, tabulated

I see that you hail from Portland, Oregon. So what about:

"Portland Organized Accounting"

Paul
Good luck with your venture !!!

How About "Accounting and other crap you'd just soon not screw with"

Hard to fit on a sign I guess...

How about "Account Ability"

I think this is a great name, you need to make sure that the names does not limit you to one thing, but the name has to tell people what the heck you do, or at least give them an idea. I would try to stay away from hard to spell or uncommen word so that way it is easer to find in the phone book, www, or 411.
