The meaning behind the name
Slalom: verb /’sla:ləm/
"Move or race in a winding path, avoiding obstacles."
Life’s journey presents challenges along the way, and we adjust and adapt to each as they appear. That’s exactly how financial planning works. A financial plan doesn’t end once it’s been created. In fact, that’s only the beginning of the planning process. We’ll make sure you stay nimble and can adjust to any obstacles that appear along the way.
Meet Tony Matheson, CFP®
Founder and Wealth Advisor
I earned my B.A. in Theological Studies from Bethany University in Santa Cruz, CA. Like most, I shifted gears away from my major and spent over 20 years as a financial advisor in Sacramento, where I helped advisors identify, design, and implement a more personalized approach to client investment strategies.
I founded Slalom Wealth Management in 2018 because I wanted to design an independent, fee-only firm that would deliver comprehensive financial planning while helping solve the common issues many retirees face. I also wanted to incorporate my expertise around topics such as economic forecasting, optimizing social security payments, and Medicare elections in a way that could benefit others.
Prior to founding Slalom Wealth, I served as head of Retirement & Investments distribution with some of the largest asset management firms in the country, including Principal Financial Group. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ enrolled in the CFA® program. I have proudly recently passed the CFA Level II exam and am registered for the upcoming CFA Level III exam.
I have continued to live and work as a fiduciary financial advisor in Sacramento, California alongside my wife, Barbara. When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me riding my Peloton bike or boating on the Sacramento River.
