In the Draft Instruction for 2018 1040 page 34, Line 9 instructions lists health, law, accounting, etc. as businesses excluded from being Qualified Trades and Businesses to qualify for QBI deduction, However, after the long and never-ending paragraph, the instructions include Exceptions: If your taxable income is less than $157,500 ($315,000 if MFJ), your specified service trade or business is treated as a qualified trade or business. So does that mean my accounting and tax firm can qualify if my taxable income is below this amounts?

Yes.
If the income is below $157,500/$315,000, all business qualify for it (except C-corporations).
If the income is over that amount, Specified businesses start to get phased out with no exceptions, and the phase out and limitations for Non-specified businesses are dependent on the businesses' W-2 wages and Qualified Property. -
