Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to be a licensed CPA to purchase this coverage?
You do not have to be a licensed CPA to purchase this coverage. Accounting professionals (e.g., bookkeepers, tax preparers, etc.) who are not licensed CPAs may still be eligible for the program.
Do I need professional liability insurance?
If you are sued for doing your job, you need protection. Don't put your livelihood, reputation, and practice at risk. Insure your business at affordable rates from an A+ rated company provided by an agency who has been in business since 1954.
How much risk is involved with tax return preparation?
Currently, the leading cause of claims involves tax preparation. The fees involved with legal expenses and settlements can threaten the stability of your practice — not to mention take up your valuable time.
I am employed full-time, but want to purchase coverage for "side jobs." Do you offer that coverage?
Yes. We offer "moonlighting" coverage that will protect you for work you perform outside your full-time employment.
How long does it take to obtain a quote?
We are able to offer an underwriting decision within 1-2 business days of receipt of a fully completed submission.
I have already filled out a competitor's application for my renewal. Do I have to fill out a new application, too?
You may submit a completed competitor's renewal or new business application to us to receive an estimate or quote. You may be required to complete the AXA XL new business application if you wish to bind coverage with the AXA XL program.
Who underwrites this insurance?
Our A+ rated Accountants Professional Liability Plan is underwritten by Greenwich Insurance Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA XL, a AXA Group Company.
