Planner
Doug Varn
I spent 25 years in the technology industry, much of it managing complex, large-scale programs at companies like Google, Fitbit, and Docusign. In 2025, my own financial planning gave me the confidence to leave tech and pursue a new path. That experience inspired me to create Varn Financial Planning, a California-registered, fee-only, advice-only investment advisory firm. I passed the Series 65 examination and founded VFP to provide independent financial planning and investment advice as a fiduciary. My goal is simple: help you understand where you’re headed, explore what’s possible, optimize your financial future, and use that clarity to make informed decisions about the life you want to live.
