Insurance for Bookkeepers

Wether you are a stand alone bookkeeper or run a bookkeeping business, there are two insurance policy types that you ABSOLUTELY must have to protect your business.

Professional indemnity – this is an absolute no brainer for your business. As a professional who advises clients, you need to make sure that in any event where your advice or recommendations are misinterpreted, that you are covered against any resulting liabilities.

From 1st July 2011, the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) requires all Australian book keepers, tax agents and BAS agents to purchase a minimal level of professional indemnity (PI) insurance based on annual turnover.

The table below specifies the minimum level of cover required:

Tier Annual Turnover Minimum amount of aggregate cover required
1 Up to $75,000 (ex. GST) $250,000 cover inclusive of legal and defence costs
2 $75,001-$500,000 (ex. GST) $500,000 cover inclusive of legal and defence cost
3 Over $500,000 (ex. GST) $1,000,000 cover inclusive of legal and defence costs

Laurena is amazing! I needed insurance for our business and Laurena was recommended to us through BNI North Lakes. This is possibly the best recommendation I have ever received. I was extremely happy with the insurance deal we got, and the level of service we received. She repeatedly worked after hours, and provided quotes for multiple insurance companies, which ended up saving us thousands of dollars. Thanks Laurena !

I contacted 3 brokers for a quote on insurance and Connie from Insurance web was the first to get back to me with a quote. The price of the insurance was very fair and nearly half the price of the other quote.The 3rd broker didn't get back to me at all.Connie's understanding of the insurance I needed was surprising and it was a pleaser to deal with her. Insurance web's ability to get my insurance sorted in such a timely manner was amazing. I couldn't recommend them higher.

Couldn't recommend higher. Have been using them since my first year in business and they've been super on the ball about renewals, arranged for custom policy terms/dates for me, pro-actively queried price increases of policies and researched alternatives with quality recommendations which ones are recommended and which ones aren't, and have been fantastic at liaising with the insurances on my behalf to clarify any questions and scenarios. Special shoutout to Connie & Travis!

Jason handles all of our insurance needs, business, personal, car and bike. His knowledge and professionalism is second to none. The best carefully tailored policy at the best price always. The nature of our auto restoration business calls for a unique type of cover for client vehicles, also public liability and so forth. Jason did all of the necessary legwork to obtain the best cover, giving us options with cover, excess choices and premium payment options to assist with cash flow. If you want prompt courteous service......

Well. What can be said. The first time I had to lodge a claim, it was so smooth and easy. After youth set fire to the building in located in with 4 other businesses. I found I was covered for more than I realised and got a clear picture of what I could claim for. Renewed every time with him and my premiums have had little change in costs. The team at insurance web is not only professional but easy to talk to even when your under pressure & extremely busy.

Get the right cover for your bookkeeping business

The other vital cover is: Public liability insurance, essential if you have an office or meet clients at their premises.

In addition, you we strongly recommend you consider the following insurance policies.

Cyber insurance – you keep records electronically and these need to be protected. But it’s impossible to protect against all cyber events, so this is another essential ingredient in your policy makeup.

Business insurance – standard policies can cover property, business interruption, theft, employee fraud, electronic equipment – everything you need to ensure that your business can continue to run smoothly.

Because we work with so many bookkeepers, we’re well placed to advise you on what cover you’ll need, and we can bundle policies together for cost effectiveness. This can save you a lot of money on your premiums.

When we are working with you and recommending policies, our focus is twofold.

First, we consider the premiums. We have dozens of insurers on our panel. That means we can cherry pick the premiums that give you the right coverage, without eating into your hard-earned profits.

Second, the extensiveness of the cover. We need to make sure you are adequately covered against any adverse events, even those in which you are not at fault.

To get a custom quote (and yes, you really NEED a custom quote so you don’t end up paying too much or, even worse, with insufficient cover, we really need to talk to you.

Simply fill in the form below and we’ll get in touch.
