Case Study: Streamlined Bookkeeping & Training for Inquasive
Helping Businesses Thrive: Certum Solutions x Inquasive Success Story: Inquasive is a business consulting and training company led by Michael Reddington, founder of The Disciplined Listening Method. Based in the U.S., Inquasive helps clients develop advanced communication, strategic observation, and ethical persuasion skills. Michael needed support managing the financial side of his growing business so he could focus on his expertise in business strategy and training.
The Challenge
Michael was struggling with several challenges that are common among service-based business owners who are focused on their craft:
Bookkeeping, reporting, and financial planning were consuming valuable time.
Needed consistent, accurate bookkeeping for himself and his business operations.
Wanted ongoing training and support to understand and leverage financial tools without spending hours away from his core work.
Michael explained:
“Our resources are all limited, especially time. So I focus the time and energy I have, on the things that have the biggest impact for me. Then I find very capable, trustworthy, and talented people to do the things that I don't have the time, passion, or the expertise for. So the bookkeeping and the financial end was something that I personally didn't have the passion for, but recognized the importance of, and my research led me to you.”
The Solution
Certum Solutions implemented a comprehensive bookkeeping and training solution, including:
Ongoing bookkeeping services to manage day-to-day financial tasks accurately.
Financial reporting and analysis, ensuring Michael had clear insights for decision-making.
Training and guidance, empowering Michael to understand and use financial tools effectively despite his busy schedule.
Michael praised the Certum team for their approach:
“Everybody's made me feel comfortable. They've never embarrassed me, judged me, made me feel stupid for any of the things I have or haven't done, and have done a great job educating me and leveling me up along the way.”
Results & Impact
The partnership with Certum Solutions delivered both quantitative and qualitative benefits:
Time savings: Michael could focus on his core business while confident financial management was handled.
Financial clarity: Accurate reporting and streamlined processes allowed better decision-making.
Skill building: Regular training sessions increased Michael’s understanding and confidence in using accounting tools.
Peace of mind: Trust in a reliable partner for the financial side of his business.
Takeaway: Bookkeeping + training → more time for business growth and improved financial clarity
The Transformation

Streamlined financial workflows, saving time for strategic business growth.
Confidence in reporting and budgeting, ensuring accurate, IRS-ready records.
A trusted, long-term partnership, allowing Michael to scale his business without worrying about the financial back-end.
Michael shared advice for business owners evaluating Certum Solutions:
“Take those initial meetings as interviews…ask yourself, are they being upfront and honest and interactive? Then make the decision if they're right for you or not. Having worked with you and your team, I know that's what you're really looking for.”
“Not only do I trust your team to be doing the work accurately for me behind the scenes, but also to be consistently training me up on how I can use the tools.” – Michael Reddington, Founder, Inquasive
