Insurance covers to consider
When deciding what insurance and covers you need to protect your business, you should consider the following:
Public liability insurance
Public liability insurance is a crucial cover for any accountancy firm. It protects you against claims made by third parties for injury or property damage caused as a result of your business activities. Whether a client slips and falls in your office or you accidentally damage their property, this cover will provide financial protection and cover legal costs.

Employers' liability insurance
If you have employees, employers’ liability insurance is usually a legal requirement. It protects your business against claims from employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. Even in a seemingly low-risk office environment, accidents can happen, and this coverage ensures that you are protected.

Professional indemnity insurance
Professional indemnity insurance is a critical cover for accountants, providing financial protection in the event of errors, omissions, or professional negligence. As an accountant, you offer expert advice and services to your clients, but even the most diligent professionals can make mistakes. Professional indemnity insurance ensures that you are covered against potential claims and associated legal costs, giving you peace of mind and protecting your reputation. Whether it’s a miscalculated tax return or an oversight that leads to financial loss for your clients, professional indemnity acts as a safety net, allowing you to focus on your core responsibilities while we handle the financial risks. If you do require professional indemnity insurance please contact us as we can arrange this over the phone.

Property covers

Business buildings and contents insurance provides cover for damage or loss caused by perils such as fire, theft, or natural disasters. From office equipment to important documents, it ensures that your business can quickly recover and continue its operations.

Business interruption insurance
Business interruption insurance provides financial protection against unexpected disruptions that could severely impact your accountancy practice. If your office is temporarily closed due to an insured event, such as a fire or flood, this coverage will compensate for lost income and help you cover ongoing expenses.

Commercial legal protection
As an accountant, you deal with sensitive financial information and may face legal disputes with clients or other parties. Commercial legal protection can cover the costs of legal advice and representation, ensuring you have the necessary support to defend your rights and interests

Cyber and data insurance offers protection against the financial losses and legal liabilities resulting from cyber incidents. From data breaches to ransomware attacks, this coverage helps you recover from such events and safeguard your clients’ sensitive information.

Directors and officers insurance
Directors and officers insurance (D&O) provides personal liability protection for the directors and officers of your accountancy firm. It covers legal expenses and financial losses resulting from claims of wrongful acts, such as breach of duty, negligence, or misrepresentation. Protecting your directors and officers is essential to ensure their peace of mind and maintain the reputation of your business.
