    What CPAs say about us

    Oscar Rey, CPA Miami Beach, FL
    I was hesitant to approach Aon because I have a small CPA firm and Aon is the insurance leader in our industry. However, there is no client too small for them.  I was given the red-carpet treatment and obtained coverage through the AICPA Professional Liability Insurance Program.
    Robert Allen, CPA Houston, TX
    The AICPA Professional Liability Program provides a myriad of information and resources about safeguarding your future.  Plus, Risk Alerts, engagement letters and other resources to help me run my practice. The Risk Advisors at Aon go the extra mile to explain insurance policies in plain language.
