Kate Nixon

Founder, Kat The Label

Liston Newton has been a great partner for us! They have supported us a lot in our journey and helped us focus on the stuff we are good at (while they handle the stuff we aren’t as good at). Maria is incredibly approachable, explains things in layman’s terms when we sometimes don’t understand accounting speak, and is willing to go above and beyond when we have a problem!

Jeremy Basset

Owner, Willow Urban Retreat

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 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 Malvern case studies

Proudly supporting Malvern’s entrepreneurs in any way we can

Decades of honing our entrepreneurial passion and business acumen have left us with a comprehensive and unrivalled wealth of knowledge. We want to empower other entrepreneurs to follow their passions and write their own success stories. To do that, we sponsor a range of local and national initiatives, including:

  • We’re members of Malvern’s Glenferrie Road Traders Association
  • We sponsor the EtA forum for local entrepreneurs and investors
  • Our CEO, Peter Antonius, is on the board of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia

And that’s just the team here in Malvern. Each of our sibling teams have chosen their own set of charities to support, and we’re all proud to be able to give back to our local communities as much as they’ve given to us.

Frequently asked questions

How do I minimise taxes?

Here are three basic tax minimisation tips:

  1. Contribute to your self-managed superannuation funds
  2. Prepay your business expenses
  3. Buy tax-deductible assets

These tips are highly general and may not apply to you. Book a consultation with our Malvern tax advisors for specific advice on minimising your taxes.

Why should I voluntarily contribute to my super?

Your super is taxed at a lower rate than your income, making contributions a good strategy for building wealth. Additionally, the first $25,000 per year of your contributions is tax-deductible. 

How do I prepare my income tax return?

Liston Newton specialises in preparing tax returns and financial statements for high-net-worth individuals and businesses. Schedule a meeting with our Malvern tax advisors, and we’ll help you prepare your returns.

Human intelligence delivers better than the artificial kind

As with all emerging tech, AI evangelists will first try to sell you on the inevitability of a utopian future where AI has solved all of our problems and revolutionised industries — yours included. If they can get you to buy the hype, they know you won’t worry about the fine print. 

We’ve seen countless businesses offer AI-devised financial advice. Some believe in its value; others fear missing out on a competitive advantage. Both are doing their clients a disservice.

At Liston Newton, we see AI as an exceptional tool for quickly managing rote, repetitive tasks. But it is currently incapable of developing the high-level, personalised financial strategies our clients deserve. That only our experienced, award-winning human team can do.
