Managing significant wealth comes with its own set of challenges. Markets move. Laws change. Ambitions evolve. That’s why the right financial advisor is someone who doesn’t just follow instructions — they ask sharper questions, spot opportunities early, and know when to push a little harder on the strategy.
We work with South Melbourne clients who want intelligent financial planning that’s tailored, deliberate and grounded in expertise. Whether it’s building an investment portfolio, planning a tax-efficient exit, or protecting what you’ve built, we help you make smart decisions that align with your goals and values.
If you’d like to talk through your plans, come see us for a free and friendly consultation. You’ll find us on Palmerston Crescent in South Melbourne, where we’ll take the time to understand what success looks like to you.

We offer comprehensive financial planning services built around your life, assets and ambitions. Our certified financial planners work with you to develop tailored strategies across tax, superannuation, wealth protection, retirement planning, and estate planning, always focused on helping you grow your wealth and achieve your goals with clarity and control.
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.
We’re not here to sell generic plans or guess at your priorities. Our role is to understand exactly what you want to achieve, then design a financial strategy that makes sense technically, practically and personally. We give you a clear view of your financial landscape, and a plan to move forward with purpose.
Our clients stay with us because we deliver more than just financial advice. We become sounding boards, collaborators, and long-term strategic partners. Whether you're preparing for a major transition or fine-tuning your portfolio, we focus on providing tailored solutions that make a measurable difference.
At Liston Newton Advisory, we take pride in helping business owners get more out of their hard work. Our downloadable guides can give you an in-depth look at strategies and technologies that will help your business grow.
Liston Newton is a fully licensed financial advisory firm with certified financial planners who meet Australia’s most rigorous compliance and ethical standards. Our clients trust us because we take a holistic approach to advice, with the technical credentials to back it up.

Our South Melbourne financial planners bring the full strength of the Liston Newton team with them, and we are nationally recognised for our excellence in strategic advice, client service, and results.
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.
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.
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.

Every sentence you see on this page was written by one of our people. These days, that’s not as obvious a statement as you might think. Businesses in all industries are becoming increasingly comfortable outsourcing their work to AI tools. Using such tools to string a sentence together is one thing, but using them to develop complex financial strategies is another.
Liston Newton’s financial planning strategies are conceived of, created and triple-checked by us based on our decades of tested, hard-won experience. We gladly use cutting-edge technology, including AI, to collate and analyse data, but we are the ones who discern insights and formulate your personalised plan.
