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 build the financial foundations for a peaceful retirement
Entering retirement is a critical phase of life, but planning for that day is just as important. The process is driven by emotion as much as it is financial practicality, which is why it is essential to seek the counsel of clear-eyed guides. Our award-winning retirement planners in Port Macquarie will ensure you enter retirement with a long-term plan to stay financially stable and comfortable.
We hope we’ve made clear that the sooner you begin planning, the better off you’ll be. Still, the planning phase is only a fraction of the solution and ends when your retirement party does. We offer a more long-term approach, with ongoing financial advisory to guide you for years to come.
- Capitalise on wealth-generating opportunities
- Fortify your pension and super usage strategies
- Explore downsizing and assisted living affordability
Trusting us to assist you through your retirement is an enormous responsibility. We take it seriously, and we know we can help. Read through our client testimonials, and you’ll see why so many locals have gladly placed their trust in us.
Our three-step method for building financial security
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
When should I begin to plan for retirement?
You’re never too young to save for retirement. In fact, the sooner, the better. However, we recommend people start seriously considering their retirement plans in their late thirties and forties, once they’ve had a chance to settle into their careers and have generated enough wealth to explore investment opportunities.
If you’re on the verge of retirement and are worried about your financial situation, please come in for a consultation. Our advisors may still be able to help you uncover ways to live comfortably.
When is the best time to retire?
You should retire when you’re confident in your financial situation and when work no longer fulfils your intellectual, creative or financial needs. It’s not simply a matter of age.
As your advisors, we can help you forecast your savings to determine at what age you’re likely to have reached your retirement savings goals.
How much money should I save for retirement?
You should aim to have enough savings for a yearly retirement income of 65-85% of your pre-retirement income. Here’s a general guide:
- $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
This assumes that you do not have any debts or mortgages to pay off.

About our content authors
Choose natural intelligence. The artificial stuff isn’t good for you.
Evangelists of ‘artificial intelligence’ tools have been making extraordinary claims about the capabilities of their technology. Endlessly, they claim that AI is capable of high-resolution thinking and creation and will soon revolutionise practically every industry. We’ve seen countless businesses pop up in our industry offering AI-optimised financial services. These businesses do not seem to understand the limitations of AI at all.
AI tools are trained on dated data sets, from which they synthesise dated, biased, factually incorrect content. Our clients deserve better.
At Liston Newton, we use AI for what it is good for — performing rote tasks to save time. But our financial strategies are all devised and fact-checked by our experienced human specialists. That’s our guarantee.
