Roth Financial Partners
Roth Financial Partners was founded in 2010 by Peter Roth, a veteran of a major broker-dealer who moved to the independent channel in May of that year. The firm operates from Kingwood, Texas, and serves high-net-worth individuals and government entities. Peter’s son, Jimmy Roth, joined in 2012 after a stint at an IT and engineering solutions company, bringing an early-career focus on career roadmaps that translated into the firm’s financial-planning-first posture. The practice delivers portfolio management, financial planning, and investment management within an integrated wealth-management framework. Eric Johnson, who arrived in 2017 from a Big Four public accounting firm’s Federal Tax practice, explicitly structures client portfolios with tax impact as a primary allocation driver. The firm’s website points to a long-term investment philosophy but does not publicly name specific asset classes, fund structures, or direct-investment positions. Geographic coverage is concentrated in the Houston metro area, where the firm is physically located. Roth Financial Partners is organized as a closely held, three-owner practice: Peter Roth, Jimmy Roth, and Eric Johnson. A client-service team member, Stephanie Powers, has worked alongside Peter since 2000, anchoring operations, cash-flow management, and compliance. The firm does not advertise a multi-office footprint, adjacent philanthropic vehicles, or membership in peer networks such as Tiger 21 or R360. No new fund, spinout, or senior hire has been publicly announced in the last 24 months. The firm differentiates itself through an owner-operator governance model in which the Director of Investments is a CPA who previously practiced federal tax — a structural pairing of portfolio construction and tax planning that is uncommon among independent RIAs of similar size. The family-leadership layer, with the founder’s son acting as Director of Financial Planning, creates a concentrated decision-making architecture that ties investment, planning, and relationship management to three individual licenses and professional designations.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Roth Financial Partners?
Eric Johnson, a CFP, CIMA, and CPA, serves as Owner and Director of Investments. He joined the firm in 2017 after nearly four years in the Federal Tax practice of a Big Four public accounting firm, where he worked on tax planning for business entities and high-net-worth individuals. His investment process prioritizes the long-term tax impact on client portfolios.
Is Roth Financial Partners structured as a single-family office or an independent RIA?
The firm operates as an independent wealth management practice, not a single-family office. It was founded by Peter Roth in 2010 when he left a major broker-dealer to establish an unconstrained advisory environment. Ownership is split among three named principals: Peter Roth, Jimmy Roth, and Eric Johnson.
Does Roth Financial Partners participate in private-market or direct deals?
There is no public disclosure of participation in private-market investments, direct deals, or fund commitments. The firm’s described services cover financial planning, portfolio management, and investment management, with a stated long-term investment philosophy that emphasizes tax-aware portfolio construction.
What professional designations does the leadership team hold?
All three owners hold the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification. Eric Johnson additionally holds the Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA) designation and is a licensed CPA. Jimmy Roth also carries the Accredited Asset Management Specialist (AAMS) designation.
Where does the firm’s client base originate?
Roth Financial Partners is physically located in Kingwood, Texas, a suburb of Houston, and its client base reflects that geographic concentration.
