Retirement planning services available on the Gold Coast
There are several ways to generate and maintain a substantial retirement income. As a full-service financial advisor, we’ll tailor your strategy to your needs using the services we feel best suit your financial situation. What you see here is only a fraction of our full list of advisory services. At your consultation, we’ll talk you through our holistic process.
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 methodology
Our three-step method for achieving 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
Our Gold Coast case studies

Proudly supporting our Gold Coast community
We’ve achieved considerable success over the years, and while we’ve certainly put in the effort, we’ve also received extraordinary support from our clients. Success should be shared, which is why we’ve partnered with a suite of local and national charities. We’ve chosen these charities because they address issues that have affected us and our loved ones.
- 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
Every one of our Liston Newton teams around Australia has the freedom to select their own list of charities and initiatives. We’re proud to be able to give back to our communities and hope we can do as much for them as they’ve done for us.
Frequently asked questions
When should I start retirement planning?
The best time to start retirement planning was yesterday. The second best time is today.
The sooner you begin to plan your retirement, the better off you’ll be. This is why we strongly recommend you consult an accredited and reputable retirement planning advisor, like our team on the Gold Coast.
When should I retire?
Ideally, you should retire when you feel confident in your financial position and when your work no longer sustains you intellectually or creatively. Once you have the financial freedom to live a rewarding retirement lifestyle, then you should do it.
As your advisors, our job is to help you determine the best time to retire. The sooner we can begin to understand your financial situation and future goals, the better we’re able to predict at what age you should expect to be able to retire.
How much money should I have when I retire?
You should aim to have enough money saved for a retirement income of 65-85% of your pre-retirement income. This is assuming you have no debts or mortgage.
As a general guide, your retirement savings should be:
- $700,000 for an annual retirement income of $59,000
- $1,100,000 for an annual retirement income of $70,000
- $1,800,000 for an annual retirement income of $100,000

Human intelligence is still leagues ahead of the artificial kind
We’ve been inundated with news stories and industry papers about revolutionary new ‘artificial intelligence’ tools that’ll change the way industries work. We’re sure you’ve heard the same stories. All new technologies run through a hype cycle, where evangelists claim they can do extraordinary things. AI is no different.
Unfortunately, many businesses, including financial advisors, are now comfortable offering their clients AI-written strategies. Not us. We do not believe AI is capable of generating forward-thinking financial strategies. It can only regurgitate unverified and impersonal estimations, which can fool those who only check for the correct formatting.
At Liston Newton, we promise to deliver only financial strategies designed and fact-checked by our experienced human advisors.
