"On someone's account" means "on behalf of that someone". Generally, it is used to indicate that the person shouldn't go to any trouble on behalf of the speaker:
Don't change your plans on my account.
Or it may be used to stress that the person should act for their own reasons or under their own judgement:
Don't change your plans on Fred's account.
The difference is subtle and imprecise.
