Recommended Accountant & CPA Insurance Coverage

The most critical coverage any Michigan accountant or CPA carries. E&O covers claims arising from alleged errors, omissions, or negligent advice — tax filing mistakes, missed deductions, incorrect financial statements, and audit failures. One disputed return or financial error in Saginaw, Bay City, or Midland County can generate a claim that far exceeds your fee.

Accounting firms store some of the most sensitive financial data of any profession — tax returns, banking information, Social Security numbers, and business financials. A data breach exposes you to notification costs, regulatory fines, and client liability claims standard policies won’t cover across the Great Lakes Bay Region.

Covers third-party bodily injury and property damage — a client injured visiting your office, property damage incidents, and premises liability exposure. With clients visiting your office across Saginaw County, Bay County, and Midland County regularly, General Liability is the foundation your entire policy is built on alongside E&O.

Your office equipment, client files, and business assets represent significant value. Commercial property covers your physical assets against fire, theft, vandalism, and weather damage — a single break-in targeting client financial records creates both property and data breach exposure simultaneously.

Accounting firms managing staff carry real employment practices exposure — wrongful termination, harassment, and discrimination claims are among the most common non-professional liability issues for Michigan firms across Mid-Michigan.

If a covered event forces your office to close during tax season, business interruption replaces lost revenue and covers ongoing expenses. For CPA firms across the Great Lakes Bay Region where January through April represents a disproportionate share of annual revenue, even a short closure creates compounding losses.
