Our Mission

Protecting the Profession That Protects Your Clients

To protect and support public accountants through reliable, compliant, and fair insurance solutions — designed by professionals who understand the accounting industry from the inside.

Abacus ensures every member meets the Professional Indemnity requirements of their professional body, including CPA Australia, CA ANZ, IPA, ATMA, and TI. We also support registered tax agents, SMSF auditors, and company auditors, all of whom are required to maintain valid PI cover.

What Makes Us Different

Built for Accountants. Different by Design.

Member-Owned

As a mutual, we exist to serve members, not investors. Every decision reflects the interests of practising accountants.

Profession-Focused

Our sole purpose is protecting public accounting firms. We don't cover other professions — we specialise entirely in yours.

Compliance-Ready

Policies meet the requirements of CPA Australia, CA ANZ, IPA, ATMA, and TI — ensuring you stay covered and compliant.

Trusted Underwriters

Professional Indemnity policies are underwritten by CGU (part of IAG Group) and Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's.

Australian-Based Support

Local expertise, clear communication, and direct access to decision-makers. No call centres, no overseas routing.

"Decisions are informed by real experience in public practice — not external shareholders."

Abacus Australia Board

Our Governance

A Board Made Up Entirely of Practising Accountants

Abacus is governed by a Board of Directors made up entirely of practising accountants. This structure gives us a perspective few insurers can match — decisions are informed by real experience in public practice, not external shareholders.
