Dream Finders Homes, Inc. 8-K

What Happened
Dream Finders Homes, Inc. announced on May 13, 2026 that its Audit Committee dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm and immediately engaged KPMG LLP (KPMG) as the new independent auditor. The change followed a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process conducted by the Audit Committee.

Key Details

• PwC was dismissed effective May 13, 2026 after the Audit Committee’s RFP and evaluation process.
• PwC’s audit reports on the company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were unmodified (no adverse or disclaimer opinions) and contained no qualifications.
• The company states there were no “disagreements” or “reportable events” with PwC for 2024, 2025, or the interim period through the effective date. PwC’s letter dated May 15, 2026 is included as Exhibit 16.1.
• KPMG was appointed effective May 13, 2026; the company reports it did not consult KPMG on accounting or auditing matters for 2024, 2025, or the interim period.

Why It Matters
A change in the independent auditor is material information for investors because the new auditor (KPMG) will be responsible for auditing the company’s financial results going forward (including fiscal 2026). The filing notes the prior audits by PwC were unmodified and that there were no unresolved disagreements, which suggests continuity in accounting and audit matters to date. Investors should watch upcoming periodic filings for KPMG’s audit opinion on the company’s 2026 financial statements and any disclosures about audit fees, transition costs, or changes in audit procedures.
