NAPLIA Now McGowanPRO

As you may have heard, CPAFMA Vendor Member, North American Professional Liability Insurance Agency, LLC (“NAPLIA”) has entered into an asset purchase agreement with McGowanPRO (A Division of McGowan & Company, Inc.)(“McGowan”). Under the agreement, NAPLIA transferred its client relationships (policies and policyholders) to McGowan. 

McGowan is one of the oldest, largest, and most well-respected firms of its type in the United States. It is a family-run and financially-stable organization which believes in providing its clients with the finest products, premiums, and service in our industry . . . in terms of competence, courtesy, integrity, quickness, and friendliness. These are goals that are shared by NAPLIA.

NAPLIA’s staff was hired by McGowanPRO. As employees of McGowanPRO, they will manage client relationships and run the programs which McGowan purchased from NAPLIA, including the following:

(1) Accountants Professional Liability Program (“CPAOnePro”);
(2) Fiduciary Insurance Program;
(3) Bookkeepers Professional Liability Program;
(4) ERISA Bonding Program; and,
(5) Deductible Reimbursement Insurance Program (“DRIP”).

“As part of McGowanPRO, we will be able to leverage our underwriting experience and McGowan’s strength, capabilities, reputation, and focus on cutting-edge technology to offer you an even broader array of coverages and services than we were able to previously (at NAPLIA). Our guiding principle will always be to provide you great insurance coverage and outstanding service . . . at a great premium!” said Gary Sutherland, Managing Director.

McGowanPRO will provide Risk Management and Hotline services through Ralph Picardi.

How Does This Affect Me, a CPA Firm Manager with a NAPLIA Relationship?

From a practical standpoint, there is nothing required of you… other than updating your records to reflect our new e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and physical address. Further, your insurance policy is unaffected by this transaction, except that the name of your insurance agency is now “McGowanPRO (A Division of McGowan & Company, Inc.). NAPLIA's main phone numbers will remain the same. And, to make this transition as easy as possible for you, their old e-mail addresses will continue to work.
