Your Liston Newton virtual CFO is backed by an award-winning stable of financial specialists; give your CFO a problem beyond their expertise, and they’ll find you the right expert for the job.
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.
Just like their in-house counterparts, virtual CFOs oversee your entire financial function, from bookkeeping services to strategic financial advice. But, by employing our strategic and accounting services for special projects or during periods of high business growth, you can maximise your ROI.
We have over four decades of experience helping small businesses in the South Melbourne and the inner suburbs exceed their goals. Let it be your turn.

As businesses grow, their finances become exponentially more complex. Small business owners need to hire more staff, process greater demand, and figure out new tax obligations; there’s a lot to juggle while delivering outstanding service. A virtual CFO can soothe your financial pain points, freeing you to do what you do best.
Modern technology has eliminated location as a barrier to communication. We don’t just mean the advent of video conferencing; by incorporating market-leading fintech, our virtual CFOs can guide business owners anywhere in the state from the comfort of our South Melbourne office. Wherever you are, we can help you:
Every business exists in a unique context and faces unique challenges. But with clear, efficient and adaptable strategies, our virtual CFO can deliver equally unique solutions. Just ask our satisfied clients.
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.
We have helped Cambridge Plumbing to manage and forecast cash flow. We've also provided the director with advice on wealth creation and asset allocation.
If you want to serve your community, turn your passion into a skill and share it around. Well, our passion is entrepreneurship. Following our passion has given us the skills to help several local South Melbourne and national charities. These include:
We have offices across Australia, and every one of them supports a different set of charities. We’re proud of our team for donating their expertise where it’s needed.
A virtual CFO is a third party that offers the same high-level managerial support that an in-house CFO offers but on a part-time basis. They are a more economical option for small businesses that may not have the resources to hire a permanent CFO.
Outsourcing an experienced CFO is an economical way to understand and optimise your finances.
We understand why business owners can be hesitant to hire an outsider, but there are significant benefits that you should consider. Here’s a list of 6 benefits of hiring a virtual CFO.
The cost of hiring a virtual CFO is significantly lower than hiring an in-house CFO. Virtual CFOs don’t need ongoing salaries, nor do they need benefits. You can hire them for set periods or to complete specific strategic tasks.
We can’t give you an estimated cost for hiring our virtual CFOs without understanding the scope of your needs. Come in for a consultation, and let’s talk through the details.
Your yearly revenue is a useful way to decide when to hire a CFO.
Consider hiring a virtual CFO if your business earns $5-$35 million annually.
‘Artificial intelligence technologies have advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years. Hype-fueled tech evangelists have proclaimed AI tools can do everything from writing the next great novel to drafting political bills. They also claim AI will revolutionise business.
Integrating cutting-edge technologies is essential for businesses to remain productive and competitive. On that, we agree. But companies must take the time to understand what that technology is — and isn’t. At Liston Newton, we believe AI is a tool best used by experienced human analysts; it’s not a genie that can grant your every wish.
That’s why every strategy we deliver will be planned, written and approved by tech-savvy human beings.
