We have worked with Liston Newton's Business Accountants and Advisory Team for over a decade. During that time, our business has grown substantially both organically and through purchases. This wouldn’t have been possible without Liston Newton Advisory to assist with our business planning, providing proactive advice and ensuring our accounts were always compliant in a complex and volatile industry.
Liston Newton's Business Accountants analysed our financial and business situation and helped us implement strategies to improve our position. Their strategies turned our business from making a loss, to recording a 6-month net profit of 36 per cent. And we are now on track to show a 240 per cent increase in turnover over the next financial year.
Liston Newton helped us move our accounting over to Xero. A Business 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.
We have our own distinct methodology for helping you to grow your business. We call it Get Set, Get Moving, Get Free. Part of this process is automating your bookkeeping and manual accounting tasks so that you can free up your time for more important things.
It is amazing how much of a difference this simple step can make to the efficiency of your business. No more long nights slaving over the books.

There are many signs that you should get a bookkeeper. Some of these signs are:
Time you spend on your bookkeeping could be better spent working on your business not within your business.
A bookkeeper is someone who helps record day-to-day financial transactions, including:
An Accountant is a qualified person who is trained in analysing and preparing your tax obligations in accordance with all ATO legislation standards. Accountants provide additional services, including:
There are many different accounting systems that certain industries use such as MYOB, Quickbooks, Banklink, and Xero just to name a few. The best option for your business will depend on your situation.
However, due to the need for business to be cloud based, a lot of businesses are changing to Xero. Online accounting software like Xero gives you live data which can be pulled from it at any given time, making it easier for you to make business decisions.
By using the Xero accounting software you have the ability to link in many different business systems. This includes point of sale systems, inventory management systems, and payroll systems.
We can help you connect your business to Xero and integrate all the apps you need.
Bookkeeping can vary in pricing quite dramatically as the duties performed by a bookkeeper can vary from someone just coming in a few hours a week to keep your records up to date to a full-time bookkeeper who is managing several different linked businesses.
You can find bookkeeping pricing information at Bigger Fish.
This is a common question from business owners. Once you outsource your bookkeeping tasks to an external body, you will no longer be hands on with that side of the business. However, with regular meetings with your bookkeeper to discuss any issues and ongoing tasks, you will continue to feel in control of your bookkeeping.
