Case Study: Cultivate Advisors achieves scalable growth and time savings with Justworks

For Cultivate Advisors, the most valuable aspect of joining Justworks was the sheer amount of time they saved across the organization

Cultivate Advisors, a Chicago-based professional services firm founded by Casey Clark and Dan Gramann, grew from two founders into a 50-person team by 2019. As the firm expanded, administrative HR, payroll and multi‑state compliance work increasingly consumed the founders’ time and threatened their ability to scale effectively.

Partnering with Justworks gave Cultivate modern HR tools, seamless onboarding, automated payroll and tax filings, stronger benefits to attract hires, and 24/7 support—freeing the founders from day‑to‑day HR. The result was significant time savings (delivering clear ROI), smoother multi‑state hiring and compliance, and renewed capacity to focus on growing the business.
