Forbes 2025

Forbes Top Financial Security Professional 2025

For the fourth consecutive year, Richard Paulsen has been recognized by Forbes as one of the nation’s Top Financial Security Professionals—ranking #1 in Nevada and #30 nationwide. His goal is to serve clients with unmatched excellence, so this award is a reflection of the real value he delivers to his clients. He strives to continue to prioritize providing reliable solutions and guidance to his clients.


He was chosen as one among a very small group of insurance professionals in the state to receive the recognition this year. The list features a ranking of the best insurance professionals whom families rely on for wealth preservation and protection. Financial Security Professionals were selected by an independent research firm based on various qualitative and quantitative data and one simple notion: “Would we recommend these professionals to a family member or friend?”.

Leverage the Edge


Successful people always have an edge. As an athlete, you might jump higher or move faster. A business owner might have unique experience that sets them apart from the competition. The most successful people use their edge to better not just themselves, but the lives of those around them. They don’t settle for mediocrity. And it’s that relentless drive to thrive that we are here to protect.

In our investment advisory work at Paulsen Insurance Services, we serve your best interests. We also help you and your family enjoy success and to lead fulfilling lives. Our clients are the best in their fields and pour their hearts into their crafts—so we know that taking care of their financial futures is no simple task. That’s why our edge is preparation—we research, study, and practice the game of strategic insurance and financial tactics like our life depends on it, because we know that one day, yours might. We’ve been in this business for three generations, and if we’ve learned anything, it’s that peace of mind is not born out of ignorance. Confidence in your future comes from understanding where you are and knowing how to prepare for the road ahead – and that’s what we’re here for.
