Do what you do best. We’ll handle the numbers.
Entrepreneurs don’t start businesses because they’re passionate about payroll. They do it to turn their passion into a means of income and a way to serve their community. But as a fundamental business process, you need to get your numbers straight before you can focus on what brings you joy.
Whether you’re trying to get your new small business up on its feet or trying to stabilise your growing business, Liston Newton’s Gold Coast bookkeepers can get your accounts in order. Our experienced bookkeepers design tailored strategies that cover your every need, from organising financial records to updating your accounting software.
Come in for a coffee, and we’ll talk you through our bookkeeping solutions. You’ll find our offices around the corner from the Australia Fair Shopping Centre, though we’re happy to meet at your offices. We can even schedule a virtual consultation if you like.

Bookkeeping services for Gold Coast businesses
We’re renowned for far more than providing efficient bookkeeping services. As a full-service financial advisory agency, we can help small businesses with every facet of their operations.
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.

Set up for success with a Gold Coast professional bookkeeper
Talk to usAccurate bookkeeping can be a challenge. But not for us.
We like to think of accounting departments as the beating hearts of businesses. By accurately tracking and reporting every dollar earned, saved and spent, your accountants and bookkeepers enable funds to flow to departments as they need it without putting the business as a whole in jeopardy.
Bookkeeping is a major responsibility and requires a patience and focus that a business owner or manager may not be able to afford. You may have that out already. Leave it to us. As a registered BAS agent and CPA, we can maintain your books, optimise your business process and navigate tax office regulations with ease.

We’ve proven our services helping real Gold Coast businesses
While it’s important to maintain strong bookkeeping practices from the very beginning, not all businesses manage to do that. Some establish themselves and find tentative success despite unideal bookkeeping. Our award-winning bookkeepers have helped several local start-ups and established businesses rectify their books and find success.
Bookkeeping isn’t terribly exciting, is it? For many business owners, entrepreneurs and investors, bookkeeping is the perfunctory drudgery before the exciting strategy work can begin. But to us, bookkeeping is like building a strong foundation upon which to erect your home; good bookkeeping is just as important, and just as invisible.
Our appreciation for the task and flawless attention to detail is precisely why we reliably deliver valuable results.
- Automate your bookkeeping
- Implement financial forecasting reports
- Restructure their business operations and assets for scalability
- Schedule regular KPI and insight meetings
Of course, as our satisfied clients will attest, bookkeeping is only a fraction of what we can offer. Book your consultation, and we’ll show you how we can help you secure your financial future.
Our methodology
Our three-step path to financial freedom
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

Proudly supporting local and national charities
We couldn’t have achieved our successes as a company without the support of our clients or our local Gold Coast community. Success should be shared, which is why we’ve selected a number of local and national charities and initiatives to support, both financially and with our business expertise. Charities we support include:
- 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 chosen to work with these foundations because they address issues that have affected us personally. But each of our sibling offices around Australia has selected different charities to suit their interests. We’re proud to be able to give back even a fraction of the support that’s been given to us.
Frequently asked questions
Does my business need a local Gold Coast bookkeeper?
We recommend that all Gold Coast businesses hire a dedicated bookkeeper, at least part-time.
Bookkeeping is a time-intensive task that requires dedicated focus. Many small business owners who feel they can handle the books themselves find it too much to juggle. Invariably, flaws in the numbers will appear.
Mistakes in your bookkeeping can lead to:
- Late payments to contractors, debtors and staff
- Unkept tax and government obligations
These issues will compound over time, which is why it’s best to hire a reputable bookkeeping firm as soon as possible.
What bookkeeping software should I use?
Xero is a highly reputable bookkeeping software that offers cloud-based accounting and instant financial insights. Its practicality and ease of use make it ideal for businesses in all industries.
As Xero platinum members, our accredited bookkeepers excel at using every feature of the platform. We can explain its benefits to your business and help you transition to the platform if you like.
How much does a good Gold Coast bookkeeper cost?
The price of hiring a reputable bookkeeper depends on their level of responsibility. A part-time bookkeeper hired to update the records of a single store for two days a week will be far more affordable than a full-time hire bookkeeping for multiple stores.
For bookkeeping price guides, we recommend you contact our sibling bookkeeping company, Bigger Fish.

AI strategies serve algorithms. We serve humans.
It’s extremely easy to the fooled by the extraordinary promises of ‘artificial intelligence’ gurus and evangelists. Their stories of revolutionary new tools that can create novels and art, and even high-level business and financial strategies, are enticing to many business owners.
But AI cannot deliver the forward-thinking strategies our clients deserve. AI can only regurgitate content it has been trained on, with all the flaws, mistakes, assumptions and biases baked into the final result. For actionable, growth-focused and effective strategies, you need a human intellect at the controls. Partner with Liston Newton, and we guarantee our experienced, accredited and award-winning human staff will always be in charge.
