Cornerstone Wealth Advisors in Carlsbad has operated as a California- and Texas-registered investment advisory firm since 2010, managing approximately $143 million in regulatory assets across 190 client accounts from its Aston Avenue office near Carlsbad Village. The firm's pension consulting and 401(k) plan design work generates annual compliance filings that route through the same North County accounting infrastructure anchored by CapForge Bookkeeping, Tax & More. Securities execute through Gradient Securities, LLC (FINRA/SIPC member), while insurance products carry California License #0G40881 for life, annuity, and long-term-care coverage. A sibling entity, Cornerstone Family Office Inc, launched in 2014 to coordinate insurance, legal, accounting, and succession planning for multigenerational families — trust and estate structures that overlap the probate specialization at Opelon LLP in Carlsbad. The firm's highest-complexity engagements integrate charitable-giving vehicles, income-protection strategies, and multi-entity succession frameworks for high-net-worth clients averaging $755,000 per account.
