Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.


Previous independent registered public accounting firm


On January 23, 2015, Spindle, Inc. (the “Registrant” or the “Company”) was notified by L.L. Bradford & Company, LLC (“Bradford”) that the firm resigned as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm.  In connection with the resignation, Bradford informed the Company that it will no longer service SEC reporting companies because partners in its SEC practice moved to RBSM, LLP (“RBSM”).  Except as noted in the paragraph immediately below, the reports of Bradford on the Company’s  financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.


The reports of Bradford on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 contained explanatory paragraphs which noted that there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as the Company has negative working capital that raises doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.


During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and through January 23, 2015, the Company has not had any disagreements with Bradford on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Bradford’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.


During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and through January 23, 2015, there were no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.


The Company provided Bradford with a copy of this disclosure set forth under this Item 4.01 and was requested to furnish a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.


A copy of the letter from Bradford is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.


New independent registered public accounting firm


On January 23, 2015 (the “Engagement Date”), the Company engaged RBSM) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The decision to engage RBSM as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors..


During the two most recent fiscal years and through the Engagement Date, the Company has not consulted with RBSM regarding either:


1.

the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that RBSM  concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or


2.

any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
