name=company?

I'm not a software developer, but 2x name= doesn't sound like a great idea if you want to make an association.

Also entering data like phone number twice etc. doesn't sound like a great idea either, unless the reception actually has a special one (but often it's probably just the main number of the POI)

E.g.
If there were two companies in the same building both accountants .. how
do you distinguish between them ?
office=accountant
  name=company1

and the other
office=accountant
  name=company2

Or am I missing something?

You are missing that those are 2 nodes where there is no connection and you aren't interested in any connection. But when you have...

office=accountant
name=company1

office=accountant
name=company2

amenity=reception_desk
name=company1

amenity=reception_desk
name=company2

...you want to make a connection between those offices and receptions. The way you suggest tagging here would for example mean you can't give the reception desk and individual name anymore. For example when you then use the tagging system on a large facility and want to name a recption name="Company xyz gate 1" you can't use that system to connect it to company xyz.
