The meaning of "On point" or Onpoint, as we spell it, is that the subject under consideration is relevant and precisely addressed. That’s how we think of our bookkeeping service: we strive to be precise and make every effort that the data we report is relevant.

The most likely origin for "on point" is probably the standard English idiom "to the point" or "on the point," meaning that the speaker's comment is relevant and that it precisely addresses the question.

There are also other meanings. Ballet dancers, for example, twirling gracefully on the tips of their toes are said to be "on point." Another usage for "on point" is military jargon. To walk at the front of a platoon on patrol is called "walking the point." It is considered important duty. The soldier "on point" is out front, acting as a scout and guide. That’s exactly how we see ourselves to our valued clients — as a guide and trusted advisor.

If you look hard at the pen in our logo shown on top of this page, you may recognize something vaguely familiar. The upper left side of the pen is an outline of the State of Oregon with a flipped image below it. Our web designer obviously had too much time on his hands!
