What Kalos does

What Kalos takes off your plate

Kalos runs the back office so you don’t have to. The books close on a schedule, bills get paid on time, invoices get collected, and a CPA reviews it all. You approve, you don’t administer.

Why it matters

Clean books are the foundation, not the goal

Clean books let you price jobs, get a loan, and sleep at night. They’re also what CFO-level advice stands on. When you’re ready for forecasting and decisions, Kalos adds that on top without switching firms. See fractional CFO in Houston and the job-costing guide.

Which tier fits

Ledger or Rhythm, depending on what you hand off

Ledger (from $650/mo) is the monthly bookkeeping. Rhythm (from $1,150/mo) adds AP and AR, which is the fully hands-off version most owners want. Compass adds a fractional CFO and a 13-week cash forecast.

Common questions

Outsourced bookkeeping in Houston: common questions

How much does outsourced bookkeeping cost in Houston?
Kalos Ledger (monthly bookkeeping) starts at $650 per month. Rhythm, which adds accounts payable and receivable, starts at $1,150 per month. Both are flat monthly fees based on transaction volume and complexity, never hourly.
What does “hands-off” bookkeeping actually mean?
You stop doing the work and only make the decisions. Kalos codes transactions, reconciles every account, closes the month, enters bills, sends invoices, and follows up on what’s late. You approve payments and read a one-page note on what changed.
Do you handle accounts payable and accounts receivable?
Yes, in Rhythm. Bills come in, get coded and routed for your approval, and go out in a weekly payment run. Invoices go out on your terms, and the aging gets worked every week with automated and human follow-up.
Do I lose control of payments if I outsource AP?
No. You approve, Kalos administers. Nothing gets paid without your approval, and approval rules are set up so the person who enters a bill is not the person who pays it.
What software do you use?
QuickBooks Online and Ramp. Kalos connects the tools you already use for payroll, banking, and billing. We don’t run payroll ourselves, but we coordinate with your payroll provider.
Can you clean up books that are behind?
Yes. Most new clients have a few months to catch up. We scope the cleanup separately in the proposal so the monthly fee stays honest.
Who actually does the work?
A trained Kalos bookkeeping team does the day-to-day work, and Ansel Michels, CPA, reviews every close. You get one point of contact and one standard.

Thirty minutes, and you’ll know whether this is worth a second conversation.

Bring your last month’s P&L if you have it handy. If you don’t, that’s useful to know too.
