After 10 years as a librarian, working in public and academic libraries, she joined her father in his investment brokerage firm, F. W. Doyle & Co. When her father retired, she continued his legacy of putting clients' needs first through listening to their concerns and helping them with financial decision-making.

She obtained the CFP® certification in 1994 and received a diploma in financial planning from Boston University in 1995.

Deborah wrote a chapter on women, gender, and the upcoming wealth transfer for a book entitled Mapping the New World of American Philanthropy: Causes and Consequences of the Transfer of Wealth, published by John Wiley & Sons in fall 2006. The experience of researching and writing about the topic raised awareness of the enormous potential that wealth spent wisely can transform the planet.
