How Spot helps Finance and Accounting Firms

Tell us who handles client records and money

Your Spot team asks which services you provide, what client records you keep, who can access accounting systems and who can change payment instructions, then puts it into one clear submission.

Compare what each quote actually covers

Once brokers have shopped your firm’s submission, Spot reads how each one defines your services and whether its crime form addresses employee theft, client funds or redirected payments.

Finance and Accounting Firms we help

  • Bookkeepers and accountants

    Clients rely on your reporting and records, so the services in the quote need to match the engagement letters you sign.

  • Tax preparers

    You collect identity, bank and payroll records every season, which makes cyber terms and vendor handling matter.

  • Outsourced finance and payroll teams

    Staff may see payment instructions or move money for clients, so crime and social-engineering questions belong in the submission.

  • Fractional CFOs and advisory firms

    Taking on decisions about a client’s finances is advisory work, and the services on your application should say so.

Insurance Finance and Accounting Firms usually carry

The policies companies like yours are usually asked for, and when each one comes up.

When Finance and Accounting Firms need insurance

  • 01

    You’re taking on a new kind of client work

    Adding tax preparation, payroll or advisory work changes the services the professional liability form needs to name.

  • 02

    You collect tax, bank or identity records

    Each season brings records an insurer will ask about. Check your cyber terms and the vendors holding that data before the rush.

  • 03

    Staff can access client money or accounting systems

    Ask how a crime form treats employee theft, client funds and redirected payments. The insurer answers each one separately.

  • 04

    You’re hiring your first staff accountant

    California generally requires workers’ compensation even with one employee. Give the broker each employee’s state, duties and payroll.

  • 05

    You’re signing or renewing an office lease

    Schedule the computers, paper client files and equipment at that office with current values before you sign.

Questions from Finance and Accounting Firms

Also known as accounting firm insurance, accountants insurance, CPA insurance, bookkeeper insurance, bookkeeping business insurance and tax preparer insurance.

Is CPA insurance the same as professional liability?

Professional liability, also called accountants’ E&O, is the core of it. Most firms also need cyber for client records and crime for payment fraud, plus workers’ compensation for staff. Spot compares them on what your firm actually handles.

Does employee-theft insurance cover client payment fraud?

Not necessarily. Employee theft and a client’s redirected payment are different scenarios. Spot asks each insurer how its crime form treats both, and shows you the answers side by side.

Do tax-security rules tell us which policy to buy?

No. IRS security guidance for tax preparers helps frame what data you hold and how you protect it, but it doesn’t choose a policy. Spot compares each proposal’s cyber wording with the taxpayer data you receive and the vendors who can access it.

What should we send to get quotes?

Send a list of the services you provide, the kinds of clients you serve, who can access client records and accounts, your staff and work locations, and any lease or client insurance requirements.

Our broker has placed our professional liability for years. Do we have to move it?

No. Spot works alongside your broker on that renewal and the rest of your program, and takes no commissions on premiums. If your broker doesn’t place crime or cyber for accounting firms, you can switch to one who does.
