Beam Global (NASDAQ:BEEM), a manufacturer in the semiconductor and related devices industry currently trading at $1.51 per share after experiencing a 77.76% decline over the past year, has announced a change in its independent accounting firm. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a FAIR financial health score despite recent market challenges. On April 24, 2025, the company was informed by Marcum LLP that it had resigned as the firm’s certifying accountant. Following Marcum’s resignation, the Audit Committee of Beam Global’s Board of Directors approved the engagement of CBIZ (NYSE:CBZ) CPAs P.C. as the new independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
The reports from Marcum on Beam Global’s financial statements for the years ending December 31, 2024, and 2023, contained no adverse opinions or disclaimers and were not marked by any qualifications regarding audit scope or accounting principles. Throughout Marcum’s tenure, and up to the resignation date, there were no disagreements on matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures that would have required Marcum to report on such disagreements.
The company did acknowledge the existence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal years 2024 and 2023, which had been previously disclosed in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. These concerns come amid challenging financial metrics, with InvestingPro data showing an EBITDA of -$12.39M in the last twelve months. However, the company maintains a healthy current ratio of 2.04, indicating sufficient liquid assets to meet short-term obligations.
Prior to the appointment of CBIZ CPAs, Beam Global did not consult with the firm regarding the application of accounting principles or auditing matters. The company has provided Marcum with a copy of this announcement as required by the SEC and has filed a letter from Marcum, dated April 25, 2025, as part of its Current Report on Form 8-K, stating Marcum’s agreement with the statements made by the company in the filing.
This transition in certifying accountant comes as part of Beam Global’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of financial reporting and compliance. The information regarding these changes is based on the recent SEC filing by Beam Global.

In other recent news, Beam Global reported its Q4 2024 earnings, highlighting a significant revenue increase to $49.3 million and improved gross margins of 15%, up from 2% in 2023. Despite these financial gains, the company did not meet its expected earnings per share (EPS) forecast. Beam Global’s expansion into new product lines and geographic markets contributed to this growth, although challenges in the U.S. federal market have been noted. The company introduced a new product portfolio in Q4 2024, aiming for positive cash flow in 2025. Analysts at Needham maintained a Hold rating on Beam Global, citing missed revenue expectations and low revenue visibility due to uncertainties in government contracts, which are a significant part of the company’s projected 2024 revenues. These developments reflect Beam Global’s transitional phase as it seeks to diversify its offerings and navigate through a period of uncertainty. The company’s efforts to expand geographically and into different markets are ongoing, with a focus on leveraging its expanded product portfolio for future growth.
