Fitness businesses face unique financial challenges as they grow. Gyms, personal trainers, and wellness businesses often juggle memberships, training programs, and online services without clear systems in place. Without effective bookkeeping, expert advice, and structured financial management, it becomes harder to track performance, manage revenue, and scale profitably while staying compliant.
Our services are designed to help fitness businesses build clarity, improve performance, and scale with confidence.

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 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.

Absolutely. We help fitness businesses scale by improving financial systems, cash flow visibility, and decision-making. This often includes digital advisory support and advice on business structures to support growth.
Fitness businesses must meet tax, superannuation, and reporting obligations set by the Australian Taxation Office. We help ensure compliance while planning ahead through proactive advisory. You may refer to the ATO’s guidance on small business obligations.
Many fitness businesses benefit from advice when revenue increases, systems feel stretched, or growth opportunities emerge. Seeking guidance early helps improve financial clarity, identify risks, and plan next steps before small issues affect performance or profitability.
