Ifac is a founding member of the Pinion Global Network
Ifac has become a founding member of the Pinion Global Network (PGN) — a worldwide alliance of agriculture-focused advisory firms dedicated to helping food and farming businesses adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing global industry.
What is the Pinion Global Network?
The Pinion Global Network connects leading agri advisory firms across four countries, enabling members to share expertise, benchmarking resources, research, and client solutions across borders.
As PGN's CEO Jeff Wald puts it: "the world gets smaller daily, and food and agriculture businesses are under growing pressure to explore new ways of doing business — from input costs and financial strategy to sustainability requirements and global trade."
PGN exists to ensure that advisors can meet that complexity, wherever their clients' businesses take them.
Who are the members?
Pinion — United States
The founding firm and the global brand behind the network. A Top 100 US accounting firm with roots dating back to 1932, Pinion is a recognised leader in food and agriculture consulting, delivering services across sustainability, farm business management, succession planning, risk management, tax and financial strategy.
Pinion Advisory — Australia
Founded in 2020 through the merger of specialist Australian agri consulting firms, Pinion Advisory focuses on agribusiness, water, and environmental solutions, with sustainability at the core of its approach — financially, socially, and environmentally.
Pinion South Africa
Headquartered in Port Elizabeth, Pinion South Africa has over 20 years' experience advising clients across agriculture, agro-processing, and logistics. As their CEO Llewellyn Collett notes: "If we don't have the answers to a client's problem, there's likely someone within the global network who does."
Ifac — Ireland
Ireland's leading accountancy, tax and advisory firm specialising in farming, food, agribusiness and family business, with over 30 locations nationwide and 30,000 clients.

What does this mean for ifac clients?
By joining PGN as a founding shareholder member, ifac can now combine its deep knowledge of Ireland's agri economy with access to international expertise, shared research, and globally informed strategies. For clients navigating volatile commodity markets, evolving EU regulation, and global supply chain pressures, that means better-informed decisions and advisory that keeps pace with how agriculture is genuinely changing.
"Being a founding member of the Pinion Global Network is a natural next step for ifac as we continue to evolve how we support our clients." — John Donoghue, CEO, ifac
See our collaboration in action
Ifac and Pinion have already been working together to bring global insight to Irish businesses.
Last year, both firms co-hosted a briefing on how shifting US trade policy under the Trump administration could affect Irish food and agribusiness exporters — covering potential tariffs on key exports like dairy and whiskey, and what businesses can do to stay competitive.
It's a practical example of what PGN membership looks like: ifac's understanding of the Irish agri economy, combined with Pinion's on-the-ground expertise in US government and trade policy, delivering timely insight when it matters most.
