Whether you work at an accounting firm, a tax office, or the accounting department of a large company, chances are that if you’re an accountant, you’re working as part of a team. A clever team name can help boost morale and improve team function. Whether you want a name to use year-round or just for a specific event, we’ve listed some things to consider when choosing a name, and we’ve provided several team name ideas that you can use.
What to Consider Before Choosing a Name
The work of any office can have its ups and downs, and having an awesome name for your accounting team can help keep your motivation up, even when the numbers aren’t cooperating.
When choosing your accounting team name, here are a few helpful hints to keep in mind:
- Make sure the spirit of your team name is in sync with your workplace environment. For example, if your company is highly formal in nature, you may want to avoid some of the more suggestive accounting team names.
- Keep your team name inclusive to everyone on the team, and avoid names that exclude a particular gender, sexual orientation, race, or nationality. Remember that your accounting team name should bring everyone together — it helps if you can include all team members in the name-selecting process.
