Insurance for Accountants and Other Financial Insurance Policies
There’s too much at stake to operate a financial services business without insurance since you handle sensitive information and can be sued for mismanaging funds or other mistakes, even if you did nothing wrong. Professional liability insurance for accountants and other financial professionals (also called errors & omissions), can cover legal fees and damages awarded by a court if your business makes an error, such as when preparing a tax return or other financial document.
Cyber and General Liability Coverage
You can also purchase add-on cyber liability coverage for your professional liability accounting insurance to protect you in the event of the loss of your clients’ sensitive financial information in a data breach. We recommend considering it or a data compromise add-on, since very few companies are completely secure when it comes to the information on computers and in email. And general liability coverage can protect you if, for example, you damage client property or a client slips and falls while visiting your office and suffers an injury.

What are the Different Types of Accountant Insurance and Finance Insurance?
At biBerk, we offer six different types of insurance for small business owners like you. Depending on the location of your business and other factors, certain types might be better for you than others. All of the options below might be considered "accountant insurance" or "financial professional insurance" as they can be particularly important to people in this industry.
Workers' Compensation insurance
This type of accounting insurance helps protect your business if an employee is injured, contracts an illness, or dies as a result of an incident on the job. It can cover medical costs, legal fees, and lost wages due to the injury.
Workers' Compensationchevron_rightGeneral Liability insurance
Also known as commercial liability insurance, a general liability policy covers damages and legal costs associated with injury claims by customers and other people you don't employ, damage to other people's property that was caused by your business, and medical costs associated with these incidents. It also covers libel, slander, and copyright infringement. Plus, there are endorsements you can add to customize your finance insurance policy, including cyber, hired, and non-owned auto liability, employment-related practices liability, and employee benefits liability.
General Liabilitychevron_rightBusiness Owners Policy
Also called property & liability insurance,business owners policy (BOP), combines general liability insurance with accountant insurance coverage for your company’s property. You'll get protection for the building you own, space you lease, and any property needed to run your business, while also receiving coverage for things like a business interruption. This can replace lost income, as well as cover other costs associated with getting your business back up and running after suffering property damage, such as the use of a temporary location. You can also tailor your BOP with add-ons including cyber, hired, and non-owned auto liability, employment-related practices liability, and employee benefits liability.
Business Owners Policychevron_rightProfessional Liability insurance
Also known as errors and omissions (E&O) insurance, this policy could protect you from the cost of damages and legal fees when someone claims your professional service caused financial harm to them or their business. E&O accounting coverage includes both mistakes on the part of your business (errors) and the failure to perform a service (omissions). Professional liability insurance should be considered if your business provides professional advice, offers a professional service, or has contractual requirements for the coverage.
Professional Liabilitychevron_rightCyber insurance
This coverage can be purchased as an add-on to general liability, professional liability, or BOP policy. It helps cover costs related to system hacks or data security breaches in which sensitive information has been stolen and fraud has occurred or there is a reasonable expectation that it might occur.
Cyber Insurancechevron_rightUmbrella insurance
Every insurance policy you purchase has a maximum value that it will cover in the event of an incident. Umbrella insurance adds another layer of protection: it can cover costs that exceed the limit of another liability policy, subject to its own limit. Without it, you may be responsible for anything over your policy limit. Business liability suits can easily exceed the actual value of many small businesses, so we highly recommend an umbrella policy on top of your main accounting insurance coverage to protect your company.
