11. Making Tax Digital (without loosing the plot)
Today I'm chatting all things Making Tax Digital! What Making Tax Digital actually is Does this affect me, and when? Including what changes from April 2026 and who it actually applies to What counts towards the threshold (and what doesn't) "Should I just set up a Ltd company to avoid it?" (Spoiler: probably not just for that reason) What to do now, if you're in MTD from April 2026 (and what to do if you're not) You can access the MTD presentation slides and check out my LTD vs ST comparison guidance and Google Sheet. And if you want to watch the full MTD workshop I delivered especially for Wild Coworking, you can get the recording in the Wild member's library by joining the community!

10. 31 Jan Reflections
Why does the 31 January tax deadline feel so viscerally wrong? I'm naming the feelings, unpicking the nervous system stuff, and explaining why paying taxes in deep winter goes against everything our bodies and ancestors knew about survival. We get into some practicalities too like: - why you might be feeling unexpectedly uneasy even though it’s all totally fine on paper. - what to do if the tax bill feels unmanageable and why there is no shame in this. - how the enforced focus on tax time can amplify pressures and ‘shoulds’ and the wider context that bring us back into perspective - when demand avoidance kicks in and how I relate to this too!

9. The Imaginary Company
This week, I’m exploring some major news for small UK companies - but also pulling back the curtain a bit on what a company really is. Because underneath the filings and frameworks, a limited company is kind of… imaginary. A structure we all agree to treat as real. And when you start to see it that way, Companies House becomes more than compliance - it becomes an archive of stories. Some centuries old. In this episode, I share: - The recent reversal of UK plans to make small Ltd companies publish their full profit & loss accounts - Why the idea of a limited company is actually a form of collective imagination - The story of the UK’s oldest surviving Ltd company - founded in 1856 and still trading today - How the Companies House register began as a fraud prevention tool in the 1840s - What modern Companies House reforms are trying to prevent now (and how it connects to the past) - A practical breakdown of the different taxes relevant to Ltd company owners Pictured: a parliament of rooks (yes thats the collective name). A reminder that birds also have their own social systems - just as we’ve imagined legal ones like Ltd companies into being.

7. Let’s Ditch The Pressure
Back after a break, with a reminder that we don’t need to follow the rules - not in podcasting, and definitely not in business planning. In this episode: When a rough week spirals into guilt and questioning what “being professional” even means The pressure of quarterly targets and seasonal productivity - and what to do if it doesn’t work for you Why even gentle financial advice can become another to-do list Trusting what you’ve already built - and starting your planning from truth, not targets Messy, honest, unpolished. Because maybe that’s exactly what’s needed right now?

6. What Would Your Pet Say About Your Business?
Could your pet be your best business mentor? For those of us with pets, they’re not just cute distractions while we work—they’re witnesses to our business journey.

About CFO Voicenotes from Harriet Formby
CFO Voicenotes is unfiltered, unscripted, unedited finance chat. Just like receiving a voice note from your pal.This came about because my clients love to receive my heartfelt pep talks, explainers, rants, and words of wisdom on all things finance - and why not expand it?Sometimes you need a pep talk. Sometimes you need someone to explain a money thing without making you feel stupid. Sometimes you need permission to do it differently, or a reminder that the way we've been told to run businesses is mostly bullsh*t patriarchal nonsense. Sometimes you just need to hear someone else ramble while you're on a walk or doing the dishes.That's what this is. often unhinged. Blunt. Trauma-informed.
