Your wealth is your fuel: it keeps your professional and personal goals running. While it’s often impossible to say one aspect of your finances matters more than any other, it’s arguably true for your super. We all strive to retire with total financial freedom — your super can give you that. But only if it’s managed well.

To us, financial freedom means having total agency to pursue your personal and professional goals on your terms. A bit vague, sure, but it should be — you are the only one who can define what freedom means to you. Our job is to help you attain that level of agency. We’ve developed a methodology we call Get Set, Get Moving, Get Free, and it allows us to structure a client’s SMSF administration and overall wealth management to ensure they have the freedom they need when they need it. Here’s how it works:
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 has given me really helpful guidance over the years for both my business and my personal finances. When you have an accounting team that you trust to give the right advice, it gives you the confidence to focus on growing your business and doing the things you love.
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.
While our brick-and-mortar offices are based in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, distance simply isn’t an issue with today’s technology. We provide SMSF administration services for clients anywhere in Australia. We’ll gladly travel to you for a handshake and a consult and then set up ongoing virtual reviews for your convenience.
SMSF stands for ‘Self-Managed Super Fund’. Every SMSF is regulated by the ATO (Australian Taxation Office) and can have as many as four members. An SMSF is a good idea if you want more flexibility in how your superannuation is invested. With the right help, they are easy to set up.
Whilst there is no law on the minimum amount of money needed to start an SMSF, the ASIC guidelines recommend $200,000 as a minimum. At Liston Newton, we believe this figure should be a minimum of $250,000 to justify a setup.
The maximum number of members an SMSF can currently have is four. Recently, attempts were made to change this to six, but so far, it remains at four.
Yes. Employees can instruct their employer on where they want their super to be paid. You can also roll over any old super fund balances to an SMSF. However, you need to be careful before doing so. We recommend getting qualified advice on your existing super fund, as it could have insurance or a defined benefit amount.
If you start an SMSF with someone else, your balances are pooled into one fund. However, this does not mean your amounts get mixed up. A set of accounts is prepared for each individual each year so that each member maintains their own balance throughout their life. As your fund grows, so does your balance.
