INSURANCE FOR FINANCE CONTRACTORS & INTERIM PROFESSIONALS

Protecting Finance Professionals Who Advise, Analyse & Control Risk

Finance contractors are trusted with forecasting, reporting, controls, project finance, transaction support and board-level insight. If numbers are wrong, assumptions are challenged or a project underperforms, clients may allege your work caused financial loss.

Finance Contractor Insurance from Insure24 is designed for accountants, finance analysts, financial controllers, interim FDs, risk and treasury specialists working on contract or consultancy bases. It helps protect you from professional negligence claims, contract disputes and liability exposures that arise from your advice and services.
