Wealth Management
What does true wealth success mean to you?
For some, it’s the freedom to focus on family, purpose, and legacy. For others, it’s the confidence that come from knowing each financial decision supports their long-term goals, so that even significant life transitions can be navigated without financial stress
At Richard P. Slaughter Associates, we understand that affluence adds complexity, and that no two families with significant wealth define success the same way. That’s why we start by helping you articulate your own definition of financial success as part of a personalized wealth management strategy designed specifically for individuals and families with higher net worth — whether that strategy includes strategic business exits, generational wealth planning, or simply living without financial worry.
If your personal definition of financial success isn’t obvious right away, that’s what we’re here for. Through our True Wealth Management system, we’ll work with you to discover what matters most and deliver coordinated strategies. Because true wealth isn’t just about having more — it’s about having your wealth work intentionally for the life you want.
Let’s ConnectA proven approach to managing your wealth with purpose
Achieving financial success takes more than a well-crafted plan. It requires a trusted partner who can skillfully execute and evolve that plan as your life changes. At Richard P. Slaughter Associates, our fiduciary team brings deep expertise in wealth management, delivering a disciplined strategy across every facet of your financial life and always with your best interests at heart.
Through our proprietary True Wealth Management process, we provide planning, advising, and investment management across these key areas of your financial life:
How we deliver a superior wealth experience
Asset Management
True asset management means ensuring that every asset — from market investments to real estate, private equity, and business holdings — works in strategic alignment. Our coordinated approach gives you the confidence that your full balance sheet is managed to support your definition of financial success.
Strategic Wealth Planning
We translate complexity into clarity. Our planning process is built around your evolving goals, not just the market. With a deep personal relationship at the core, we build a strategic plan that adapts as your life, finances, and business evolve, so you always have confidence in your path to achieving all your wealth goals.
Collaborative Relationship
You’re at the center of everything we do. We coordinate seamlessly with your existing advisors — CPAs, attorneys, insurance professionals — to unify strategies across all dimensions of your financial life. We don’t just “work with” your team, we lead it on your behalf.
Tax Planning
Minimizing tax impact is one of the most effective ways to build and preserve wealth. We partner with your tax advisor (or bring our own) to uncover proactive strategies that optimize your tax position now and into the future.
Wealth Transfer Strategies and Generational Support
Legacy planning is about more than transferring assets. it’s about preparing your wealth and your family for what’s next. Our approach ensures your estate plan reflects your values, preserves intent, and creates long-term impact. We work closely with estate attorneys and other advisors to build structures that protect wealth, empower heirs, and support your philanthropic goals.
Risk Management
Protecting your wealth is just as important as growing it. We proactively identify the risks — market, legal, operational, or personal — that could compromise your goals. Then we build strategies to mitigate them. From insurance structuring to liquidity planning, we help ensure your financial plan is resilient, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
The path to true wealth success begins by defining your journey
Every successful wealth management experience starts by defining what success means to you.
At Richard P. Slaughter Associates, we combine deep expertise, trusted partnerships, and an expansive range of tools to build a fully personalized strategy — a strategy not only to help you grow and preserve wealth, but to align your financial resources with your life goals.
We call this our True Wealth Management Process: a comprehensive, four-part system that adapts to life transitions, changing markets, economic conditions, and tax laws while always keeping your personal objectives at the center.

- Explore your financial picture, lifestyle preferences, and long-term goals.
- Build a relationship grounded in trust, empathy, and clarity.
- Identify what’s most important to your financial and personal well-being.
