Do you love numbers, lists, and checking things off? Our branding agency on Marietta Square needs a part-time Bookkeeper (16–24 hrs/week) who can own invoicing, payroll, and the day-to-day money details so our creative team can focus on client work.

You'd be handling:
• Client invoicing, payment posting, and friendly past-due reminders.
• Bills, credit card entries, and vendor payments in QuickBooks Online.
• Bi-weekly payroll, 401(k) submissions, PTO and mileage tracking.
• Monthly bank/credit card reconciliations and simple management reports.
• Quarterly sales tax, estimated tax payments, and annual items like 1099s and insurance renewals.

We need you in the office regularly (Marietta Square) to deposit checks, scan documents, and work closely with our small team. Super flexible on your 16–24 hours though!

If you're organized, trustworthy, and enjoy being the behind-the-scenes hero, shoot me a message or email your resume and a short intro about why this role feels right.

Reports to the President. Permanent part-time gig.

If your business has grown in the last few years — new services, more clients, a bigger team — it's worth asking whether your brand has kept pace.

Most haven't. And the gap is usually costing more than people realize.

Kriston Sellier's article in Urban Ag Council's magazine walks through exactly how to identify and close that gap.

That's from Kriston Sellier's recent article in Urban Ag Council's magazine — and it's one of the most important things a growing business can understand about their brand.

You don't control perception. You control the signals you send. If those signals are outdated, the market's picture of your company will be too.

New article from id8's Kriston Sellier, published in Urban Ag Council's magazine.

The topic: what happens when a landscaping company — or any growing business — evolves faster than its brand. Services expand, the team grows, markets change. But the market still sees an earlier version of the company.

That gap costs real money. Not because it's expensive to fix, but because it quietly works against every sales conversation, every proposal, and every recruiting effort until it's addressed.

"Creative without science is just artwork."

At id8, every project starts with research — not a blank canvas. Stakeholder interviews. Customer insight. Competitive analysis. We find out what the market actually believes before we decide what the brand needs to say.

That's the difference between marketing that looks good and marketing that works.

We talked through this — and a lot more — on a recent episode of Family Business Radio with Sync-Up Business Services. If you own or lead a mid-market business and you're thinking about growth, succession, or building lasting brand value, this conversation is worth your time.

This morning, Kriston joined Anthony Chen on Family Business Radio on BusinessRadioX to talk about branding, leadership, and growing a business with clarity and confidence.

It was a great conversation with Anthony and fellow guest Ron Nocera, and we'll share the full episode link as soon as it’s live.
