Tax accounting services available on the Gold Coast
Our award-winning tax services are only a fraction of what we offer local businesses. Liston Newton’s advisors can help you optimise every facet of your business. Just let us know how we can help.
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.

Talk to usTrust our eagle-eyed tax agents to handle any task
We’ve met many small business owners who felt confident enough to handle their business tax return by themselves. Few understood the expertise, labour and time it takes to keep a business tax compliant. A responsible owner knows when to seek professional advice.
Tax regulations are forever evolving, which is why tax compliance requires ascetic patience and an unblinking eye for detail. Our agents have both.

Our method works. Here’s the proof.
All businesses seek growth expecting it to bring success and security. But without proper preparation, growth can bring instability — enough to topple a company. Our award-winning tax accountants tailor goal-specific solutions to keep you and your business safe as it breaks new ground.
No matter how financially savvy they may be, few enjoy untangling the knotted regulations that bind business owners and high-net-worth individuals. Fewer still excel at it. We do. As our awards and Gold Coast client case studies evidence, our comprehensive yet versatile approach to tax accounting works. We can help you:
- Minimise your tax liabilities by restructuring your assets
- Restructure your business to handle increasing demand
- Schedule quarterly profitability reviews and business insight assessments
Tax accounting can be a challenging task, and our confidence may seem too bold. But it isn’t bluster; countless satisfied clients across the Gold Coast and Queensland will attest to the results we deliver.
Our methodology

- 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

- The Type 1 Foundation, since diabetes has touched the Liston Family
- The Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Tea
- The Cancer Council’s Small Business Advisory Service
But we’re speaking only for ourselves here on the Gold Coast. Each of our teams across Australia supports a unique list of charities close to their hearts.
Frequently asked questions
How can I minimise my tax?
Here are three strategies for minimising your tax:
- Super contributions
- Prepaying expenses
- Buying tax-deductible assets
These three strategies can be implemented relatively easily. However, they aren’t your only options. Book a consultation with Liston Newton’s team to receive personalised tax minimisation advice.
Should I voluntarily contribute to my super?
Voluntary super contributions are generally a wise investment. Small but regular contributions can dramatically compound to leave you with a substantial retirement safety net. The super tax rate is also lower than the income tax rate.
How do I prepare for my tax return?
The best way to prepare your tax return is to schedule regular meetings with a tax agent.
Partner with Liston Newton, and your business tax agent will schedule quarterly reviews where we’ll explain your financial position and advice you on how you might optimise your tax return.
Is hiring a business tax agent worth the cost?
We strongly recommend hiring a tax agent for your company, especially if you have goals for business expansion. Tax minimisation and compliance can demand more time and effort than many managers or sole traders can afford to spend, having other responsibilities to attend to. Trust us to keep your taxes in order.

Why be satisfied with artificial intelligence?
We have no doubt you’ve heard the news about ‘artificial intelligence’. Every day there seems to be more of it. The AI revolution is coming to the office, and businesses in every industry should get on the bandwagon or get left behind. The fear of missing out can be heavy. But the tech industry runs on hype, and many AI evangelists are happy to sell its potential even if it lacks evidence.
At Liston Newton, we believe in the authority, versatility and creativity of the human intellect. We make every effort to explore how emerging technologies can improve our productivity, but our strategies are still conceived, planned and executed by our experienced human team.
