Is professional liability insurance required for bookkeepers?

Yes! This coverage is increasingly essential: 

  • Many bookkeepers operate in high-stakes financial environments, where contract terms or client expectations often mandate errors & omissions protection. 
  • Even where not legally required, E&O insurance prevents errors—from miscoded entries to missed filings—from turning into career-threatening lawsuits.
