A TRADITION BUILT OVER TIME

What started out of the back of a red Chevy pickup truck in 1995 has grown into an established company and a team name known for its experience, skills and knowledge in the financial planning world. We are proud of our growth over three decades — it has allowed us to help more people achieve more retirement goals! But we never forget where we came from or what got us here.

Regardless of which Slagle Financial door you walk through, the same culture and customer service await, accompanied by an enthusiasm for the retirement you deserve!
