Decades of earned trust.
In 1998, Brent Gough began with little more than a notepad and a commitment to the people of Parker County. He built his business one conversation at a time—introducing himself, asking questions, and truly listening.
What he found were families with goals, fears, and stories worth knowing, and he realized pretty quickly that helping families navigate the hard parts of their financial lives was about far more than performance.
He built from zero. By the time he founded Gough Wealth Management in 2021 under Raymond James, those early clients were still with him, some for more than 20 years. Slaten joined the practice in 2023, bringing his own drive and commitment to the same families and values. Together, they’ve built on that foundation, two advisors who share the same standard and the same belief: that people deserve an advisor who treats their goals as if they were their own.

“We are guided by faith and grounded in integrity. We help families build, preserve, and pass on wealth wisely, purposely, and with confidence.”
Simple principles, lived every day.
People First
Relationships come first. We don’t let compensation drive recommendations. If it’s not right for you, we won’t suggest it.
Direct Access
You call our team. They answer. No call center, no junior associate handoff.
Family, Faith, and Integrity
We approach this work with honesty, humility, and gratitude. Our foundation is built on the same principles that guide our personal lives.

Our Mission
Our greatest responsibility is the people we serve.
Whether you’ve been with us for twenty years or twenty days, you get the same direct access. The standard doesn’t move with the size of the account.
