About

CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen) operates its Carlsbad office at 5901 Priestly Drive, bringing the eighth-largest U.S. accounting firm's $2 billion national platform to the El Camino Real corridor. The firm's integrated tax, audit, and wealth-advisory services support real-estate investors and developers alongside transaction teams at Shafran Realty Group, structuring cost-segregation studies and 1031-exchange documentation for commercial-property portfolios across Carlsbad's 92008 and 92011 ZIP codes. CLA formed in 2012 through the merger of Clifton Gunderson and LarsonAllen, and the Carlsbad office maintains industry concentrations in technology, manufacturing, and nonprofit organizations alongside its Sage Intacct Premier Partner certification backed by over 1,000 ERP implementations nationally. The office's document-intensive audit and compliance practice generates bound annual-report packages and investor-presentation decks that Logicopy reproduces and distributes for North County institutional and nonprofit board meetings. CLA Wealth Advisors, ranked 45th in Barron's 2024 top-100 RIA survey, manages fiduciary investment portfolios and structures irrevocable life-insurance trusts through the same Priestly Drive location for multigenerational estate-transfer planning.
