Client feedback like this never gets old 🤍

These kind words from Madeleine at Wondiverse truly mean so much.

Wondiverse is a neurodivergent-led social enterprise building a new way forward through training, consulting, public speaking, and joyful events that spark connection, creativity, and belonging.

Working with businesses like Wondiverse is what lights me up, and reminds me why I created Volta in the first place.

If you’re looking for support with your bookkeeping and finances, my calendar is always open for a discovery call.

Today is 30 June. The last day of FY2026.

And I'm not sure I'm ready for the new financial year.

Have I done everything I need to?

Have I forgotten something?

Have I prepped enough?

All these questions are whizzing around in my brain.

I have to keep reminding myself - it's just one day in a calendar of 365 days. It's not that special.

Tonight, I'll take a breath and hopefully wake tomorrow with purpose and calm.

What about you? Are you ready? Or is it business as usual?

Payday Super is almost here.

What does it mean for your business?

❔Super is paid on ‘Qualifying Earnings’

❔Super needs to be transferred at the same time as you pay employees (and contractors).

❔Super contributions need to be received and allocated to your employee’s super fund within 7 days of their payday.

❔If payments are returned, you have 3 days to fix the issue and transfer the funds to the super fund.

How to prepare

📋Check your employee details and ensure they are correct.

📋Confirm that all super fund details are up to date.

📋Confirm your software is ready and compliant.

📋Prepare your cash flow. Make sure you have adequate funds to transfer super at the same time as pays. Start building a cash reserve.

January 26 is not a day to celebrate.

For me, it’s a day to reflect, listen, and learn more about our First Nations and how I can be a better ally.

We need to acknowledge the ongoing hurt caused by this day and move it to a day where we can all celebrate together.

Say nup to the cup ❎

Please reconsider placing a bet on this Melbourne Cup and donate instead to Greener Pastures Sanctuary, which takes in and cares for animals, including racehorses.

https://www.greenerpasturessanctuary.org.au/donate

Greener Pastures has rescued many ex-racehorses that were set to be slaughtered as they were no longer useful.

Too many horses are injured or killed for our 5 mins of viewing pleasure.

All proceeds from this fundraiser will support the ongoing care of their rescued herd of horses.

Donate here today https://www.greenerpasturessanctuary.org.au/donate

Today is International Women's Day

I ummed and ahhed over whether to put a post up. Because, TBH, I'm a little over the way it's glamourised and how inaccessible a lot of the events have become 🤷‍♀

But I got over it. So, rather than another "Happy IWD" I thought I'd share some practical ways we can together and help amplify gender equality everyday📢

1. Put your money where your values are. Support women-owned small businesses by buying their goods and services. Think outside your typical suppliers, look for those run by First Nations and women of colour.

2. If you have employees, review your policies. Offer a flexible work environment, access to paid parental leave, and be transparent on salaries. This isn’t just for women; this includes men and gender-diverse people too.

3. Have funds to invest? Apply a gender lens to your investment portfolio. Seek out businesses that are women-owned and led. And also those creating products and services that benefit women and girls.

4. Recognise the disproportionate impact climate change has on women and girls worldwide. Look at what you can do to improve your footprint; offset your carbon, choose more sustainable suppliers, or reconsider that purchase.

5. Re-think what AI tells you. AI and tech are still predominantly a white man’s field. Which means an unconscious bias sits within. So next time you use ChatGPT or any of those other platforms, fact-check the info coming back and think about its words, the language, its origins, and the impact it may have if you use it.

I'd love to hear your suggestions. What actions can we take to drive gender equity forward? Drop them in the comments below.

Today, I'm celebrating 3 years in business 🎊

As I reflect on the past few years of being a micro business owner, I realise how lucky and privileged I am to work for myself and create a business that aligns with my values and purpose.

I'm grateful for those who supported my journey to leap and those I have met along the way. I wouldn't have gotten this far without the support of my community.

So, thank you to my family, friends, clients, and fellow business owners for keeping me grounded.

A special thank you to my lil' furbaby, Matilda, who sits (well sleeps) with me day in and day out while I work 🐈‍⬛🐾And, most of all, thank you to my husband, who was the person who told me to "..just do it, and everything will work out." 😘

May there be many more years of creating positive change as a purpose-led business owner 💚
