In modern versions of Asterisk, you can set other variables apart from
accountcode in sip.conf. I'm fairly sure accountcode gets set to B in
the blind transfer scenario you mention, but I'm not sure whether other
variables do. Even if not, you can use some other variable for
billing A->B, and accountcode for billing B->C.

However, we simply do billing on our interconnect-Asterisks, where
transfers aren't allowed.
