Case Study: Artemis Ward achieves seamless payroll and HR operations with Justworks

Artemis Ward - Customer Case Study

Artemis Ward, a Washington, D.C. creative agency built to run lean and purposefully, faced the common startup challenge of avoiding clunky back-office tools while delivering a professional employee experience. The founders wanted an easy, reliable way to handle payroll, contractors, vendors and HR without creating extra work as the business grew.

They chose Justworks to automate direct-deposit payroll, pay vendors and contractors in one place, integrate with Xero, and centralize PTO requests and document storage. The result: simpler, intuitive admin workflows, time saved on HR tasks, and founders freed to focus on growth while employees benefit from a polished, reliable platform.
