Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

Dismissal of independent registered public accounting firm

On January 5, 2024, at a special meeting of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Alpine 4 Holdings, Inc., (the "Company"), upon the recommendation of all of the members of the Company's Audit Committee, the members of the Board unanimously approved the dismissal of and terminated the engagement of RSM US LLP ("RSM"), as the Company's independent certifying accountant.

RSM's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders; equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended dated May 5, 2023, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that such report expressed substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

RSM was appointed by the Board of Directors on September 21, 2022, as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, and has served as the Company's auditor from that date through January 5, 2024.

During the period from September 21, 2022, through December 31, 2023, and the subsequent interim period through January 5, 2024, there were no disagreements with RSM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of RSM, would have caused RSM to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their report, and there were no "reportable events" as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for the material weaknesses described in Item 9A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The Company has provided RSM with a copy of the foregoing disclosures prior to filing this Current Report on Form 8-K and has requested that RSM furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company set forth above. A copy of RSM's letter, dated January 11, 2024, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Company is in active discussions with another independent registered public accounting firm and once the public accounting firm has been approved by the Company's Board, the Company will officially announce the engagement of the new public accounting firm.
