A practice grown one relationship at a time.
Gough Wealth Management started with a simple idea: take care of people, and the rest will follow. What began in 1998 with Brent Gough building relationships one conversation at a time has become a trusted family practice serving clients across Parker County. Today, Brent and Slaten lead it together, each fully invested in the relationships they’ve built and the ones still ahead.

More than money management.
Six coordinated services. One plan. The pieces of your financial life, working together.
Financial Planning
Your retirement income, tax situation, estate plan, and cash flow all affect each other. We build a plan that treats them that way.
Investment Management
Generic portfolios are built for the average investor. We build yours around your income needs, time horizon, and tax exposure, and monitor it throughout the year (within an advisory fee based relationship). All investing involves risk, and results are not guaranteed.
Alternative Investments
We provide access to private credit and private market strategies, when suitable. These are illiquid, may involve significant risk, and are typically available only to qualified or accredited investors. Availability and suitability are evaluated per client.
Insurance & Risk Management
A well-designed financial plan can still come apart if the wrong risk is left uncovered. We review your life insurance, long-term care needs, and annuity options as part of the broader picture.
Business & Employer Planning
Many business owners treat their business finances and personal finances as separate worlds. We connect them: retirement plan design, executive compensation, and succession planning.
Banking & Lending Solutions
Through Raymond James Bank, your banking and investing can stay aligned: cash management, securities-based lending, and credit solutions coordinated with your broader plan. Raymond James Bank is an affiliate of Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. Bank deposits are FDIC-insured up to applicable limits. Investment products are not FDIC-insured, not bank-guaranteed, and may lose value.
Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. is not an FDIC-insured banking entity. FDIC insurance only covers the failure of FDIC-insured depository institutions and does not cover Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. Products purchased from or held at affiliated Raymond James Financial, Inc., companies are not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency, are not deposits or other obligations of Raymond James Bank or TriState Capital Bank, are not guaranteed by Raymond James Bank or TriState Capital Bank, may lose value, and are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal invested.
Lending Services provided by Raymond James Bank, member FDIC, affiliated with Raymond James Financial Services and Raymond James & Associates, Inc.
A line of credit backed by securities, such as a securities based line of credit or a tailored line of credit, may not be suitable for all clients. Borrowing on securities based lending products and using securities as
collateral may involve a high degree of risk including unintended tax consequences and the possible need to sell your holdings, which may lead to a significant impact on long-term investment goals.
“It was helping clients, adding value to people’s lives, and changing lives. We have very deep roots and good relationships here.”
— Brent A. Gough, Founder
Success creates complexity.
We help organize it.
We serve families, business owners, and high earners in Parker County and throughout the country— people whose financial lives have grown too complex to manage without a comprehensive plan behind them.
Families Building Multi-Generational Wealth
As your assets grow, the question shifts from accumulation to stewardship. For families, we focus on giving coordination, heir preparation, and preserving what’s been accumulated from unnecessary erosion.
Pre-Retirees & New Retirees
Social Security timing, income distribution, tax-efficient withdrawals, and legacy planning all converge at once. We work through each one with you, so nothing gets decided under pressure.
Equine Industry Professionals
Horse trainers and others in the equine industry often earn strong incomes, but can face real uncertainty about how and where to invest. The cash-heavy nature of the business creates planning challenges many advisors haven’t seen. We have.
Business Owners & Entrepreneurs
You’ve poured years into your business. Now you’re thinking about what comes next. We work alongside you to translate business success into lasting personal financial strength.
Community involvement.
