Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asking someone for the accountant's name is the best option as it shows initiative and also avoids any potential awkwardness or disrespect that might arise from not using his name or addressing him wrongly. Asking the accountant again for his name may be awkward, and not using his name or addressing him incorrectly can be disrespectful.
