I'm not quite sure I understand exactly what you are doing, but I have a suggestion or tow for implementing this server object:

Instead of having a property to set that holds the account number between calls, you should consider passing the account number in a GetName() method, so you only have to make a single call to the server object. This goes along the stateless object design theory that says the object should get everything it needs to know to operate from a single method call. A design like this will help your object scale better, and work better within MTS.
