Do bookkeepers need professional liability or errors and omissions insurance? Whether you’re auditing, accounting or running your own freelance bookkeeping business, you may not be required by law to carry liability insurance, but it’s always a good idea.

E&O, Professional Liability or General Liability - What’s the Difference?

When working in finance, errors and omissions insurance and professional liability insurance are the same thing. These are simply policies that can protect your work from being sued. In insurance parlance, professional liability insurance differs from general liability because it doesn’t cover the physical premises of your business but rather the output of your work. Let’s face it, bookkeepers deal in the most sobering aspect of any business - the bottom line. To you, numbers are being balanced on a ledger, but on the other side of those numbers are passionate entrepreneurs who are heavily invested in the results. Most bookkeeping professionals report that the when things are going well for a business, there is little chance of being sued. But when a client’s finances take a turn for the worst, it’s usually the bookkeeper who is the bearer of bad news and that can sometimes translate into a portion of blame.

Most Common Reasons Accounting & Bookkeeping Professionals are Sued

• Sudden downturn in the fortunes of the client business
• Your client gets sued - along with you
• Bankruptcy, third parties may attempt to recoup losses through litigation
• Tax problems

While bookkeeping malpractice lawsuits might be rare, it is certainly not unheard of and the result can be financially devastating to your business. You stand to suffer not only significant monetary penalties, but being sued brings stress and time wasted in court and preparations involved in proving your case. A liability lawsuit can be devastating to your bottom line and to your reputation.
