When you say, 'In the name of Allah,' the meaning is: I begin my work seeking assistance from Allah, and I dedicate its outcome for His sake.
مُسْتَعِينًا — seeking assistance. 'seeking help', an active participle in the accusative because it describes the doer's state while acting — 'I begin... while relying'. From 'ask for aid'; the accusative is the 'how, in-what-state' marker.
