Accounting firms manage sensitive financial information, provide professional guidance, and help clients navigate important financial decisions. Whether preparing tax returns, performing audits, managing payroll, or providing advisory services, accounting professionals face a range of professional, operational, and cyber risks. At the Oliver L. E. Soden Agency, we help New Jersey accounting firms protect their business, employees, and client relationships with insurance programs designed for the accounting profession.
Insurance Coverage for New Jersey Accounting Firms
Whether you operate as a solo CPA, manage a growing accounting practice, or lead a multi-partner firm, your insurance should reflect the services you provide and the risks your business faces. Claims involving professional errors, data breaches, client injuries, or employee-related incidents can have significant financial and reputational consequences. We build insurance programs tailored to your firm’s size, services, staff, and operational needs—helping protect your practice today and as it grows.
Key Coverages for Accounting Firms
Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions) Insurance
One of the most important coverages for accounting firms. Helps protect against claims alleging professional errors, omissions, inaccurate financial advice, missed deadlines, or other mistakes made while providing accounting or advisory services.
General Liability Insurance
Helps cover third-party bodily injury and property damage claims, such as a client slipping in your office or accidental damage to another person’s property during business operations.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Provides coverage if employees are injured while performing work-related duties. Required for New Jersey businesses with employees.
Commercial Property Insurance
Helps protect your office, computers, furniture, files, and other business property from covered losses such as fire, theft, or certain weather-related events. Business income coverage may also help if your operations are interrupted by a covered loss.
Cyber Liability Insurance
Accounting firms routinely manage confidential financial records, tax information, banking details, and other sensitive client data. Cyber coverage can help address expenses related to data breaches, ransomware attacks, cyber extortion, regulatory response, and business interruption.
Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)
Helps protect your firm against claims involving employment-related matters such as wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, or other workplace allegations.
Umbrella Liability Insurance
Provides additional liability protection above the limits of your underlying insurance policies, helping safeguard your firm from larger liability claims.
