Professional Liability for Accountants & Bookkeepers
According to the old saying, "nothing is certain but death and taxes." Add to that list unhappy taxpayers. Accountants inevitably take on clients who feel they end up paying an inordinate amount in taxes. Some disgruntled clients take out their wrath in the form of a lawsuit or claim against their accountant. They insist that the accountant’s negligence and incompetence are the cause of their oversized tax bill -- or the reason they are being audited by the IRS. The threat of such claims is a major reason why you need comprehensive insurance protection.
