Financial advice services available in Port Macquarie

Our Port Macquarie office offers far more than just financial planning advice. From virtual CFO services to investment planning to personal insurance advisory, we provide a range of financial security services for local businesses and private individuals alike.

Liston Newton have been my family's accountants since 2009. In all that time, they have been diligent in managing accounts and helping us meet our tax obligations, as well as taking a proactive approach to our retirement planning. Their staff are friendly and easy to deal with. Their services have been perfect for someone like me, who I have to admit is not bad at earning money, but too busy to think about what best to do with it. I would not hesitate to recommend Liston Newton to any family or business needing an integrated accounting and financial planning service.

David Lucas

We shifted both our personal income tax affairs and the administration of our SMSF to Liston Newton after the retirement of our prior long term tax accountant. Their attention to our customer needs and focus on providing the best tax advice covering our relatively complex needs (including accounting for foreign earned income, foreign pension entitlements, local investment portfolio, real estate interests and estate planning) has been second to none. Very happy to date.

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.

Our results for our clients speak for themselves

Everyone has gaps in their financial knowledge. But the successful surround themselves with specialists who can fill those gaps. Liston Newton’s Port Macquarie office has helped locals secure their finances with award-winning financial advice that delivers real results.

  • Comprehensive modelling to assess possible financial strategies
  • Meticulous reviews of your investments to maximise ROIs
  • Ongoing financial support through every stage of life, from entrepreneurship to retirement

As our client case studies prove, our tailored advice gives you the greatest chance at achieving the financial freedom you seek.

Our holistic methodology will secure your financial future

How we get you set

The first phase is all about establishing the fundamentals of your business and creating a strong foundation to build from. You also need to establish your long-term goals so you have a clear idea of what you're working towards.

  • Plan your goals
  • Structure your business and assets
  • Online accounting
  • People and HR
  • Protect your business and personal risk
  • Business and personal will

How we get you moving

The second phase is about gaining a deeper understanding of your business; how to make it more efficient and experience sustainable growth. This is where you transition from working in your business to working on your business.

  • Understand your numbers
  • Delegate bookkeeping
  • Systematise and automate tasks
  • Minimise tax
  • Forecast cashflow and capital needs
  • Quarterly coaching and accountability

How we get you free

The final phase is when all your hard work really starts to pay off. This is when you start using your profits to build your personal worth to a point that give you financial freedom—the freedom to work only if you want to.

  • Understand wealth creation
  • Investment portfolio
  • Investment property
  • Superannuation
  • Succession and exit planning
  • Your legacy

Frequently asked questions

Why do I need a local Port Macquarie financial advisor?

Personalised and up-to-date financial advice is invaluable. While an out-of-state advisor can offer you generalised strategies, a local financial planner will have a much deeper understanding of your business environment and the local economy.

If you’re based in Port Macquarie, Liston Newton’s local financial advisors are best suited to help you capitalise on emerging opportunities. We’ll work with you to create strategies and plans that guide you on the right path and ensure a prosperous future. It’s not just how and where to spend your money — it’s how to build long-term wealth, manage investments, and even choose the correct insurance.

How do I pick a good financial advisor?

The right financial advisor is the one that’s best suited to your needs. So make sure they can do what you want them to achieve. When picking a financial advisor, be sure to check the following:

  • Their experience and qualifications
  • Do they work with individuals like you or businesses like yours?
  • What’s their investment philosophy like?
  • Do they invest their own money?

After determining that they’ve got the skills, you also need to feel comfortable with them and trust that they’ve got your best interests in mind.

How much does a financial planner in Port Macquarie cost?

The cost of financial planning depends on your needs. Their price can change depending on your level of finances, the services you require, and the complexity of your financial plan. It also can depend on how often you meet or interact.

But with the right financial advisor, these costs are an investment that sets you up for a successful future.

Contact Liston Newton Advisory today to speak with our experienced and reliable financial planners in Port Macquarie for more information.

What happens when I work with a financial advisor?

There are five main steps you’ll go through when working with a financial advisor.

  • Step 1. You have a discovery meeting to discuss your financial situation and requirements and see if you’re the right fit.
  • Step 2. They create a high-level proposal to demonstrate how they will help you achieve your goals.
  • Step 3. If you approve this proposal, they get to work creating your comprehensive financial strategy.
  • Step 4. Your financial strategy is complete — it’s time to put it into action. They get to work deploying your plans and strategies.
  • Step 5. Together, you’ll have regular meetings to review your financial advice and ensure it continues to work for you as your circumstances change.

Human intelligence trumps artificial intelligence

There is no doubt that emerging technologies like AI tools will revolutionise the way many businesses operate. The problem, as we see it, is that too many companies are caught up in the hype of these technologies without understanding what they actually are. Many end up cutting corners rather than cutting costs.

Here’s what we believe: AI and other cutting-edge tech are valuable tools, but only in the hands of experienced accountants — high-level strategic thinking is still the realm of the human mind. Our team wrote every word of this page, and we’ll write and fact-check every point of advice and strategy we deliver to you, guaranteed.
