Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

(a)  On August 15, 2011, Fresh Start Private Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) notified MacKay LLP (“MacKay”) that the Company had dismissed MacKay as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company.  The Board of Directors of the Company recommended and approved the dismissal.

The reports of MacKay regarding the Company’s financial statements as of November 30, 2010 and 2009 and the statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from November 1, 2006 (inception) through November 30, 2010, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.  The reports of MacKay, however, stated that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

From the period as of, and from, November 1, 2006 (inception) through November 30, 2010, and during the subsequent interim period through the date of dismissal, the Company had no disagreement with MacKay on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MacKay, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the Company’s financial statements for such period from November 1, 2006 (inception) through November 30, 2010.  There were no reportable events, as listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

MacKay was provided a copy of the above disclosures and was requested to furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.  MacKay’s response is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b) On August 17, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to engage the independent registered public accounting firm of De Joya Griffith & Company, LLC (“De Joya Griffith”), the Company’s new independent registered public accountants, which appointment De Joya Griffith has accepted with the dismissal of MacKay.

During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim period preceding the engagement of De Joya Griffith, the Company has not consulted with De Joya Griffith regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered by De Joya Griffith or (iii) any other matter that was the subject of disagreement between the Company and its former auditor as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv), or a reportable event as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v), of Regulation S-K.   The Company did not have any disagreements with MacKay and therefore did not discuss any past disagreements with De Joya Griffith.
