Doug Deschner
Certified Financial Planner
Doug’s
interest in financial planning started early - what seemed unusual as a
teenager has become one of his greatest strengths. After earning a Business
Administration degree from the University of Baltimore on a lacrosse
scholarship, he built a successful career with Procter & Gamble, J. Walter
Thompson, and Pepsi Bottling Group Canada, where he served as VP of Sales and
Marketing. His long-standing passion for personal finance eventually led him to
found Provident Partners. As a Certified Financial Planner, Doug helps clients
build personalized financial plans that support their long-term goals. He
brings deep experience in portfolio analysis and cash flow planning, with a
strong focus on coaching and tailored advice. His client-first mindset is at
the heart of everything he does. Doug is a lifelong learner who exceeds
industry standards for continuing education. He’s also committed to making the
world a better place, having served as a director for the Global Friends
Foundation and summited Mt. Kilimanjaro three times in support of youth in
Tanzania and Uganda. Doug is a former director of the Canadian Lacrosse
Foundation and President of the British Columbia Lacrosse Association. Doug and
his wife Vicki enjoy time with their five children and growing number of
grandchildren. In his downtime, he's often found skiing, hiking, or enjoying the lake.
