Lisle, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/02/2010 -- Paying bills by credit card has become the norm for many individuals. Now paying online is only one of many convenient options available to small to mid-sized accounting firms purchasing professional liability insurance.

AmerInst Professional Services, Ltd. has added a series of new multiple service capabilities to its streamlined web-based professional liability program. Policyholders can experience electronic signature processing, pay premiums online and receive email verification - on their terms, whether they are traveling or in the privacy of their homes. Obtaining comprehensive coverage online is easy, fast, secure and paperless. For insurance companies, there is only one touch with the customer. This simplicity builds customer loyalty by minimizing costs and passing the savings along to policyholders. However, for those who prefer to have personal contact, licensed professional specialists are on hand to help them walk through the process and answer questions.

“In today’s economic climate, accountants have high expectations,” says Kyle Nieman, President and CEO of AmerInst Professional Services. “Smaller firms have less free time than ever – and fewer resources and flexibility than their larger counterparts. They want competitively priced products and services that talk to them personally, while saving time and money. We have a unique professional liability program that applies the right web-enabled technology to focus on these accountants’ needs and change the way they do business.”

Traditionally, the insurance industry has relied on paper workflows. E-signature technology offers many advantages. For the insurer, it accelerates turnaround time, shortens the sales cycle, enhances the quality of service and reduces costs. Integrity is ensured in a signed document and the signature cannot be altered. Both the insurer and policyholder are protected by federal laws that govern the use of e-signatures.

AmerInst Professional Services draws upon the commitment and expertise of its parent, AmerInst Insurance Company, which was created by CPAs for CPAs and was a reinsurer of the AICPA plan for two decades. The professional liability insurance program is written through United States Fire Insurance Company, a member of the Crum & Forster insurance group (C&F). C&F has been in business since 1896, is well regarded for its financial strength, and is rated A (Excellent) by A. M. Best.
