We offer far more than just medium and small business accounting services. As a multiservice agency, we can optimise your business with everything from business tax advice to virtual CFO services.
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 aren’t armchair experts — most of our team have personal experience starting, buying, growing and selling businesses.

Scan through our case studies. They’ll give you a glimpse into what our partnership could look like.
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.
For many companies, community involvement can be reduced to business transactions: a cheque for a newspaper headline. Not with us. We’ve picked initiatives close to our hearts so that we can contribute not just our money but business acumen as well. We are proud members and sponsors of:
And that’s only a fraction of what we do to give back; each of our firms across Australia contributes to their communities in their own way.
The answer depends on the size of your business. Business accountants can be expensive, so they’re usually only viable for larger enterprises.
Before hiring an internal business accountant, take the time to assess whether the tasks you require support for can be completed internally — you may need greater expertise than your internal accountant can offer.
For small businesses, it makes sense to partner with an external small business accountant in Melbourne. They can free up your team and ensure your numbers are accurate while helping you guide your business towards a successful future.
Our experienced SME accountants in Melbourne have the knowledge and expertise to help businesses of all sizes. However, we specialise in helping small businesses like yours achieve their financial goals. We can help you manage your cash flow, prepare better budgets, stay on top of your invoices, and manage your tax obligations to keep the ATO off your back.
We know this is a common concern among business owners. We understand why — you’re trusting your accounting to an external team, and you no longer have direct oversight.
But at Liston Newton Advisory, you’re still in control. We’re just managing the process for you. We provide regular meetings and discussions to ensure you’re across every element of your business accounting, so you can continue to feel in control while seeing tangible results.
Think of business accounting as an investment rather than a cost.
The price can vary depending on what elements of business accounting your Melbourne business needs. It also changes depending on the complexity of your business, and whether your business accountant is working across one account or several interlinked enterprises.
Your Liston Newton Advisory small business accountant in Melbourne can discuss your needs and determine a price in your initial meeting.
A human being wrote everything you’ve read on this page. That’s the way we do everything around here. You’d think that’d go without saying, but AI and other emerging technologies promise the world. More and more businesses believe that either appeasing algorithms or outright outsourcing their thinking to algorithms is the path to success.
Here’s what we believe: cutting-edge technology is critical for gathering and analysing data, but you need an experienced advisor to discern relevant, valuable and actionable insights from that data. Our business accountants will happily use emerging technologies, but everything we offer you has been checked and approved by a real person.
