“Trust is a really big thing for me… I have great trust in Liston Newton Advisory"
Kieran Liston and the Liston Newton team have been assisting me with my accounting matters since 1976. For the past 47 years, Kieran and the Liston Newton team have provided reliable accounting assistance, which has allowed me to focus on my business in primary production.
Their exceptional service has consistently exceeded my expectations and made me feel that they truly care about my financial well-being.
Liston Newton has given me really helpful guidance over the years for both my business and my personal finances. When you have an accounting team that you trust to give the right advice, it gives you the confidence to focus on growing your business and doing the things you love.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What happens when I get financial advisory?
Step 1: Discovery meeting
Sit down together and work out if we are a good fit for each other. This occurs in a discovery meeting.
In the discovery meeting, we discuss your current financial situation, your goals in life and the time frame you have in mind for achieving them. Once we know where you are today and what your objectives are for the future, it’s about working together to map out a plan to get there.
Step 2: Proposal
Your financial adviser will prepare a proposal for you that gives a high-level overview of suggested areas of advice, a realistic time frame for your goals,\ and an estimate of the pricing.
Step 3: Plan
Your financial adviser prepares the plan. This includes the strategy and action plan to help you achieve your objectives and build the life you want. The plan will include things like:
- Investments
- Savings plans
- Superannuation
- Risk protection
- Estate plans
Step 4: Implement the plan
The strategy is presented to you as a documented financial advice plan. You can discuss it, ask questions and make any necessary modifications. Once you agree to the plan and sign off on it, your financial adviser will implement it.
Step 5: Review
You'll agree on how often the advice should be reviewed. It’s important to keep the plan updated and adapt it when circumstances change. Personal circumstances, legislation and investment landscapes are all subject to change, and we can help you plan for them.
What makes for a good investment?
That depends on your goals. There isn't one single answer. A sound investment for one person is a bad investment for another person. You need to consider what's a good investment for your situation. This will depend on your goals, appetite for risk, age, and investment experience.
A good investment for a 35-year-old business owner might be shares in a growth-oriented business. A good investment for a person no longer working might be high dividend shares, fixed interest investments or term deposits. It all depends on the situation.
It’s easier to define a bad investment. A bad investment is one that you have no idea why you invested, no understanding of the underlying asset or business, no idea of the risk involved and no idea how long you should be holding it.
How do I pick the best financial advisory firm for my needs?
You should be prepared for a two-way interview when you talk with a potential adviser. Ask them any questions you want to know the answer to, including:
- What are their qualifications and experience?
- How have they helped people in a similar situation?
- What is their investment philosophy?
- How do you invest your own money?
You need to feel comfortable with your financial adviser and trust they will look after your interests.
