This is Fred Ball for Zions Bank, speaking on business.

Paige Paulsen believes wholeheartedly that increasing one's consciousness about money, even in the smallest way, will positively affect a person's entire life.

This is the guiding philosophy behind Paige's business, Holistic Accounting. The Salt Lake City-based company offers a range of services to help clients heal their relationship with money including individual counseling, tax and money classes, setting up accounting systems for small businesses and personalized accounting.

Paige worked in public accounting for three years and spent 16 years teaching accounting at the university level. She felt frustrated at only having time to cover accounting in her classes since she knew underlying money patterns are just as important to understand. She realized many people are disconnected from money and aren't comfortable with it for various reasons. Since money seems to impact practically every decision we make, Paige wanted to do something to help people improve their relationships with it, which led to the creation of Holistic Accounting.

While a large portion of Holistic Accounting is devoted to traditional accounting work, including tax preparation, setting clients up on QuickBooks and providing financial advice, the other portion of the business involves classes and individual consulting to help clients address their money issues.

Where money is concerned, Paige tells me it's important to look beyond the surface because there's often more to a situation than meets the eye. Her goal is to help people raise their consciousness about finances and lead a more joyful life once they have clarified and resolved financial concerns.

Paige says it feels good to help people, and she offers one-on-one counseling, classes and workshops to share her money insights. She hopes to spread the word about Holistic Accounting so she can help more people find the road to financial success.
