I am still confused (customer of freshbooks). Are they officially changing their name from freshbooks to cloudaccounting OR they are just adding more features that supports accounting ?

Nope, just changing their slogan from "Painless Billing" to "Cloud Accounting".
Well their logo now says "FreshBooks Cloud Accounting"

I believe it used to just say FreshBooks.

actually it used to say "Freshbooks painless billing". So it seems like they got bullied by someone (intuit??) to remove the word "billing'? or is it just a company decision. But whatever it is, I love freshbooks for what they do. brilliant design and execution of a critical pain point.
There was no bullying from intuit, it was a self-directed change.

(disclosure - I work at FreshBooks)

I was confused as well. I assume Freshbooks the name is staying, seeing as http://www.cloudaccounting.com/ appears to be a legitimate site. Freshbooks is a great name.
