Business insurance
Insurance for Bookkeepers
For a bookkeeper, the central exposure is professional risk: an error in a BAS, payroll or reconciliation that costs a client money. Professional indemnity is the core cover, alongside public liability and cyber and data protection for the sensitive financial records you hold, which is why premiums near $1,500 a year are typical.
With many policies renewing around 30 June, reviewing cover at EOFY makes sense as your client base and responsibilities shift. Cockatoo helps you find an insurance partner who understands professional indemnity, cyber risk and the data-handling duties of a bookkeeping practice.
Common questions
Bookkeepers — insurance questions
What insurance does a bookkeeper need?
Professional indemnity is the key cover for errors in your work, alongside public liability, and cyber and data protection for client financial records. Workers' compensation applies if you employ staff.
Why is professional indemnity important for bookkeepers?
You handle clients' financial data and lodgements, and a mistake can carry real cost. Professional indemnity protects you if a client claims a loss from an error, which is why it sits at the centre of a bookkeeper's cover.
