Pinion is pleased to announce a strategic merger with TCA, designed to deliver expanded business consulting services and enhanced value to rural telecommunications and broadband providers across all regions. Under the proposed agreement, the merger is expected to combine operations effective April 1, 2026.
“Pinion and TCA have collaborated serving broadband clients for over 30 years, and this merger will officially bring together some of the best advisors and resources in the industry,” says Jeff Wald, CEO of Pinion.
TCA is a specialized consulting firm that works exclusively with rural telecommunications and broadband companies to expand infrastructure and solve complex industry challenges. Since 1982, the firm has provided expertise and resources in areas such as financial consulting, regulatory guidance, competitive strategy, government advocacy, grant support, network services, HR and operational solutions, strategic planning, and merger and acquisition (M&A) support.
“By combining our in-depth industry knowledge and regulatory specialization with Pinion’s additional resources and capabilities, we can better leverage our combined strength to deliver holistic solutions to our clients,” says Mike Teeples, CEO of TCA.
“Pinion prioritizes a ‘clients first’ culture and rural focus which mirrors TCA’s vision of empowering and connecting rural communities. We’re excited to continue our shared commitment to personalized and quality service to support our clients’ best interests and success.
Founded in 1932, Pinion has focused on serving rural communities for nearly 100 years, and its expertise expands beyond traditional accounting and tax advisory for broadband providers to complementary services that align with TCA’s offerings.
The integration of TCA’s experienced consultants into Pinion’s depth of resources is designed to provide broadband and telecom providers with a broader range of support needed to navigate the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.
“Broadband is fundamental to economic growth and quality of life in rural and urban markets alike,” says Shasta Weatherman, lead principal for Pinion’s telecom market.
“This integration strengthens how we serve broadband providers — delivering the expertise and capabilities needed to optimize, grow, and expand.”
