    Quick facts

    • Class: Offices of Certified Public Accountants
    • Coterie Top 100 rank: #76 (December 2025)
    • Coverage options: General liability and business owner’s policy

    Risk snapshot

    Owners in this class commonly deal with visitor injuries during tax season and personal injury claims. Clients visit, leases require proof of coverage, and advertising injury can arise from your marketing.

    How GL and a BOP work together

    General liability covers third-party bodily injury, property damage and, for most classes, personal and advertising injury. Per-occurrence limits are $300K, $500K, $1M or $2M, with aggregates at twice that, and the policy includes medical payments and damage to rented premises. A BOP covers computers, furniture and valuable papers, with business income and computer interruption built in. Many owners pick the BOP because property and business income come bundled with the liability protection.

    Appetite and eligibility

    Accountants are in Coterie’s professional appetite. MPL availability is confirmed by state. Across all classes, Coterie generally accepts up to $10M in revenue and 50 employees, one location per policy, no more than two losses in five years (none over $15K) and no prior cancellations or non-renewals. Startups and home-based businesses can qualify too.

    Why go through Coterie?

    Coterie’s process is fully digital. Quotes and binding happen in minutes, certificates are issued on demand, and real people answer the phone when you have questions. Policyholders also get Manage My Risk, Coterie’s free risk assessments, safety guides and compliance checklists.

    All coverage is subject to underwriting and availability.

    The data CPA firms handle

    South Carolina CPA firms handle Social Security numbers, bank details and tax returns every day. Offices of Certified Public Accountants is #76 on Coterie’s Top 100 classes list (December 2025), so it’s a class Coterie actively writes BOP and GL coverage for.

    A realistic risk for CPA firms

    Tax season brings phishing emails pretending to be clients or the IRS, and a single compromised inbox can expose hundreds of returns. Funds transfer fraud is another concern when client refunds or payments get rerouted. Steps like strong passwords and staff training help, but they won’t stop every attack.

    What the cyber endorsement covers

    The cyber endorsement combines first-party expense coverage (privacy breach expenses, system compromise, extortion threats, funds transfer fraud and payment card industry violations, with optional business interruption) and third-party liability for media, network security and data compromise, including privacy and regulatory claims. All of it falls under one aggregate: $50K standard, with optional limits up to $100K.

    Response services

    Policyholders also get incident response help from Coterie’s cyber partner (forensic consultation, ransomware expertise, breach counseling and notification assistance) plus an online portal with a password manager, breach-readiness templates and a self-assessment of your data risks.

    Eligibility and availability

    Cyber is an endorsement, so it’s added to a Coterie BOP or GL policy. Eligible businesses have up to $5M in revenue and up to 50 employees. Availability is confirmed by business address at quote time, and all coverage is subject to underwriting.

    How to add it

    Quote your BOP or GL online and add cyber when you get to coverage options. Pricing depends on business type. If you’d rather talk first, America Insurance Brokers can help. Coterie’s digital process means you can see coverage options in minutes, and America Insurance Brokers stays involved as your independent agency for questions, certificates and renewals. Policyholders also get Manage My Risk, a free set of safety guides and risk assessments.
