Loveland, CO-based Pinion, a global leader in food and agriculture consulting and a top 60 U.S. accounting firm with roots dating back to 1932, said earlier this month that it has combined with CPA firm Gifford & Cox, a move that strengthens Pinion’s presence in Nebraska, the Dakotas, Colorado, and Kansas.
Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
Founded in 2003, North Platte, NE-based Gifford & Cox provides accounting, tax, and consulting services to a wide range of clients, specializing in ag-related businesses and family-owned businesses across the Great Plains and the Midwest. The firm also has offices in McCook, NE, and Windsor, CO.
Its localized understanding of the agricultural and business landscape complements Pinion’s, officials from both firms said.

KCoe Isom Rebrands as Pinion
“Gifford & Cox has built trusted relationships and a strong reputation for serving ag producers and rural businesses across the Plains,” Pinion CEO Jeff Wald said in a statement on Nov. 3. “By bringing our teams together, we’re able to offer a deeper bench of expertise and a greater regional reach—connecting clients to more specialized advisors and insights to help them plan strategically and grow sustainably.”
Adding a personal touch to the merger, many members of the Gifford & Cox team previously worked for Kennedy & Coe (KCoe Isom), now known as Pinion.
“Our clients are at the heart of everything we do, and joining Pinion ensures they continue to receive the same personalized service and trusted guidance they’ve relied on for years,” said Kyle Gifford, co-founder and principal at Gifford & Cox. “At the same time, they now gain access to Pinion’s national expertise and resources, which opens up even more opportunities for growth and success.”
“This partnership is about more than combining firms—it’s about positioning our clients and our team for long-term success,” added Ty Cox, co-founder and principal at Gifford & Cox. “We’re excited to combine resources to help businesses across the U.S. thrive in the years ahead.”
