Cetera Adds $235 Million Advisor From Commonwealth's LPL Exodus

San Diego – October 07, 2026 -- Cetera has recruited financial advisor Cynthia Doussard and her practice, Doussard Financial, which oversees approximately $235 million in assets under administration, into its Summit Financial Networks community.

Advisor exits Commonwealth after 24-year tenure following LPL acquisition

Doussard, based in Burlington, Washington, spent nearly 30 years in the industry, including more than two decades affiliated with Commonwealth Financial Network. She began searching for a new partner only after Commonwealth announced its acquisition by LPL Financial, spending roughly a year evaluating offers from multiple recruiters and broker-dealers before selecting Cetera.
