Mike Dobbyn brings a thoughtful, full-picture approach to tax planning shaped by decades of experience across finance, investing, and tax preparation. A graduate of Duke University with a degree in Economics, Mike began his career in the investment and financial planning world, including time as an options trader on Wall Street. That background gives him a deep understanding of how investment decisions and taxes intersect in real life.

 

Over the past six tax seasons, Mike has prepared tax returns under the guidance and mentorship of Canton Tax Group, developing a strong, practical foundation in tax planning. His work is grounded in tax efficiency—helping families and small business owners understand how everyday financial decisions impact their taxes today and over time.

 

Inspired by his son Connor’s brave battle with the ultra-rare disease Sanfilippo Syndrome (often described as childhood Alzheimer’s), Mike is also a rare-disease advocacy leader and the founder of the Sanfilippo Project and the RareDads community. This journey reshaped his priorities and led him to focus his work on people, relationships, and community. He also maintains strong ties to his hometown roots in Canton, Massachusetts, where he regularly meets with Massachusetts-based tax clients throughout the tax season.

 

Outside of work, Mike is a proud father of two teenage boys, an avid soccer player, and a firm believer in the power of teamwork. He enjoys staying active, listening to 80s music and educational podcasts, and building work that reflects resilience, service, and long-term impact.

Jenna Dobbyn is a lifelong Downingtown local who continues to live and work in the community she calls home. She holds an MBA from Alvernia University and is well known throughout the area for her approachability, strong relationships, and deep community ties.

 

As the owner of Iron Bird, a locally rooted small business, Jenna brings firsthand experience with the day-to-day realities faced by entrepreneurs. Her background also includes active involvement in nonprofit fundraising and community initiatives, giving her a practical understanding of organization, budgeting, and responsible stewardship.

 

Over the past six tax seasons, Jenna has prepared tax returns under the guidance and mentorship of Canton Tax Group, where she developed a strong foundation in accurate, detail-driven tax preparation. She is also a proud hockey mom to her son, Bryce, and remains closely connected to the Downingtown community through family, school, and local involvement.

 

Outside of work, Jenna enjoys antique picking, traveling, and cruising—experiences that allow her to explore new places and appreciate history, craftsmanship, and discovery. That same attention to detail and care carries through to the way she supports clients.

John Dobbyn is the founder of Canton Tax Group in Canton, Massachusetts, and an Enrolled Agent with over 40 years of experience in tax preparation and IRS representation. He holds an MBA from Suffolk University and has spent decades serving individuals and families with a steady, trusted approach rooted in consistency and care.

John personally trained both Mike and Jenna through years of hands-on mentorship, passing down the standards, values, and practical expertise that continue to shape Downingtown Tax Group today.

 

Outside of his professional work, John enjoys spending time with his wife, Linda, visiting their nine grandchildren along the East Coast, traveling, and maintaining lifelong friendships. These long-standing relationships reflect the loyalty, reliability, and long-term perspective that define both his personal life and his professional legacy.
