Yep, could also be those things.

But accounts and bookkeepers all know what QuickBooks is and are quite happy to not have to explain to their clients why they need to spend $75 a month on "KowalaBabyPooPoos" or something equally ludicrous name.

Which is the point which you probably didn't miss in the first place.

Apparently, there's an accounting software called Xero, they have the dotcom[1]. Pretty good name and domain IMO.
