Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On July 11, 2007, TeamStaff, Inc. (the “Registrant”) dismissed Lazar, Levine & Felix, LLP (“LLF”) as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm and engaged WithumSmith + Brown, P.C. (“Withum”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007. The Registrant’s decision to change its independent registered public accounting firm was the result of a competitive bidding process involving several accounting firms. The decision to dismiss LLF and engage Withum was made and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Registrant.

The reports of LLF on the financial statements of the Registrant for each of the past two fiscal years, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. During the Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years and through July 11, 2007, there have been no disagreements with LLF on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of LLF would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements of the Registrant for such years. During the Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years and through July 11, 2007, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

Prior to the engagement of Withum, neither the Registrant nor someone on behalf of the Registrant had consulted with Withum during the Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this report in any matter regarding: (A) 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 Registrant’s financial statements, and neither was a written report provided to the Registrant nor was oral advice provided that Withum concluded was an important factor considered by the Registrant in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (B) the subject of either a disagreement or a reportable event defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v) of Regulation S-K.

The Registrant has requested that LLF furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made above. A copy of such letter, dated July 17, 2007, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
