Business accounting services available on the Gold Coast
Between our local Gold Coast chartered accountants and our national pool of specialists, we offer an extraordinary range of small business accounting services.
Liston Newton helped us move our accounting over to Xero. Their Accountant managed the set up and training so we felt comfortable with the software. We now have all our processes streamlined which gives us improved visibility of our business performance. This has allowed us to open 2 more stores without a significant increase in administration effort.

Gladly supporting our community as best we can
We want to see the Gold Coast thrive. As business accountants, we know we can do more than just help local entrepreneurs and small business owners to meet their goals. We’ve decided to devote our time and our particular set of skills to another group who need them — charities.
- The Type 1 Foundation, since diabetes has touched the Liston Family
- The Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Tea
- The Cancer Council’s Small Business Advisory Service
We’ve settled on these charities because they’re close to our Gold Coast team’s hearts. But they aren’t the only charities Liston Newton support — every one of our teams across Australia supports their own set of charities.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an internal business accountant?
Hiring a new internal business accountant can be worthwhile for larger enterprise businesses. But for small businesses, it’s a significant expense.
It may be more worthwhile engaging a business bookkeeper first. If you’re worried about cash flow or financial management, look at an external Gold Coast business accounting firm rather than an internal hire. They provide a more cost-effective solution and give you the objective clarity you can’t get with an internal resource.
Do you do small business accounting on the Gold Coast?
Liston Newton’s Gold Coast business accountants specialise in small business accountancy. We have the expertise, knowledge, and understanding to help your small business thrive. After all, we started out as a small business ourselves — so we know what it’s like out there.
We can work with you to ensure your business can optimise its budgeting, improve your cash flow, and manage your invoices more effectively. We’ll help you become as tax effective as possible.
Will I lose control of my business accounting if it's outsourced?
Absolutely not. While you can trust us to manage your business accounting, our work will be totally transparent to you. You’ll have constant access to our strategic plans and decision-making processes and will have the final word on every move.
We know trusting your business accounting to an external team can be daunting. But Liston Newton’s Gold Coast team prefer a collaborative approach, and you can be as involved as you like, or trust us to take care of our responsibilities. Either way, we’ll calendar regular business planning meetings and set clear KPIs so that you know precisely what we’re doing, and when and why.
You can trust that your numbers are more accurate and your finances are managed more efficiently. We ensure you retain total oversight over your accounting, and meet with you regularly to ensure you make the big decisions where required.
How much will business accounting cost a business owner?
The price of your business accounting will differ depending on the services you need, what you’re looking to achieve, the size of your business, and the complexity of your accounts.
You may only need bookkeeping and tax return support, or you may be looking for the full suite of accounting services.
Your Liston Newton Advisory small business accountant on the Gold Coast will help you determine a solution that’s right for your business, and which helps to deliver more cost-effective accounting.

Tech is a tool, not a solution
Everything you’ve read here was written by people. That’s not a given today. Despite not knowing what it is or how it works, businesses are increasingly buying into the belief that emerging ‘intelligent’ technologies will automate everything, from content creation to top-level strategy.
We believe that ‘artificial intelligence’ and other cutting-edge technologies provide enormous value to businesses — we use them ourselves. They are extraordinarily efficient at gathering data and separating the critical from the irrelevant. But it takes an experienced human analyst to place that data in the context of your business to create practical, actionable strategies.
