Paul Hansen, CFP®, CPA
Tri Cities, WA
A long-time Tri-Cities resident, Paul Hansen brings more than 35 years of experience in accounting and finance to his role as a Financial Advisor at HFG Trust. He earned his degree in business administration with a concentration in accounting from the University of Washington and holds both the CPA and CFP® designations—a combination that allows him to guide clients through the complexities of retirement, tax, and charitable planning with clarity and purpose.
Prior to joining HFG in 2015, Paul served as Controller for the environmental and nuclear segment of one of the largest publicly traded engineering and construction firms. He also spent many years preparing tax returns—often after financial decisions had already been made. Over time, he saw the value in being involved earlier, when thoughtful guidance could have the greatest impact. That realization led him to wealth management, where he could offer comprehensive, forward-looking advice. Today, Paul values the long-term relationships he builds with clients and the steady progress that comes from making intentional decisions over time.
Outside of the office, Paul serves as Treasurer for Bethel Church and remains dedicated to using his experience to benefit others—both in his community and in the lives of the families he serves.
