LEXINGTON, Ky. — May 8, 2026 — MCF Advisors, LLC (“MCF”), a Kentucky-based registered investment adviser (“RIA”) serving families, business owners, and retirement plan sponsors, announced today that it has acquired Hoff Bujnoch & Associates (“HBA”), a Newport, Kentucky-based wealth management firm overseeing approximately $250 million in assets under management (“AUM”). The acquisition expands MCF’s presence in the Northern Kentucky market and adds to the firm’s financial planning and wealth management capabilities.
Led by Digger Bujnoch, CFP®, HBA operates through a planning-led and relationship-focused service model. By joining MCF, HBA will gain access to an expanded platform spanning investment oversight, tax and estate planning resources, retirement planning support and business-owner planning solutions. Digger joins MCF as Senior Financial Advisor and Partner and will be joined by his entire team at MCF.
