About Us
Our Enduring Legacy
Nilmeier Financial & Insurance Services is owned and operated by second and third generation family members, with a rich history stretching back to 1963. Elmer Nilmeier entered the life and disability insurance planning business in 1963 when he joined Paul Revere Insurance Group. Elmer's son, Richard joined the same company in 1969 and stayed with them for the first twenty seven years of his career.
In 1996 he left Paul Revere and formed Nilmeier Financial and Insurance Services, focusing not only on insurance planning but comprehensive wealth management, which today includes a host of financial services and products offered through United Planners Financial Services of America. John Nilmeier, son of Richard, entered the business in 2005 after graduating with a degree in financial planning from California State University, Fresno.

Nilmeier Financial and Insurance Services strives to create financial stability and security to provide financial independence for their clients.
Community and Values
We believe that every person has the ability to realize their dreams in life. Most people don't dream of money, but dream of the financial security that money provides. They dream of the joy they might feel in putting their children through college, retiring to a vacation home at the beach, being around loved ones without having the commitment of going to work every day, or simply living their lives in financial freedom (not being a slave to their debt, but having the ability to control their financial destiny). We believe that every individual has the ability to attain their goals, no matter their life or financial circumstance. But in order for these dreams to happen, you must start with a plan. Dreams are a dime a dozen, but those who implement them are worth millions.
Our Commitment
Richard, John, Nichola and their staff are experienced professionals with a "hands-on" approach to financial guidance. Not only will you find them knowledgeable, but you will also discover that they truly care about making your dreams a reality. As your Financial Professionals, we will do everything in our power to keep you focused on where you want to go, advise you on how to get there, and continually remind you of the importance of maintaining a disciplined approach to realizing your dreams.
