Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On June 3, 2025, FS Bancorp,
Inc., (the "Company") was notified that Moss Adams LLP ("Moss Adams"), the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, merged with Baker Tilly US, LLP effective on June 3, 2025. The combined audit practices operate as Baker Tilly US, LLP
(“Baker Tilly”). In connection with the notification of the merger, Moss Adams has resigned as the auditors of the Company and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the appointment of Baker Tilly, as the successor to Moss
Adams, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The audit reports of Moss Adams on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31,
2024 and 2023, and for each of the three-years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, 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.
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the subsequent interim period through June 3, 2025, there were
no (a) disagreements with Moss Adams on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Moss Adams’ satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to
the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements, or (b) reportable events requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Current
Report on Form 8-K, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted with Baker Tilly regarding: (i) either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to that item, or a “reportable event,” as
described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Moss Adams with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and requested that Moss Adams furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it
does not agree. A copy of Moss Adams’ letter to the Commission, dated June 3, 2025, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
