You didn’t become CFO to chase contractor invoices at month-end

Your team is in 8 countries. Month-end is tomorrow. Three providers sent invoices in three formats. Two are missing the documentation your auditor needs. The numbers in your reconciliation never match the numbers you planned. Kleos handles all of it — one invoice, one chain, one source of truth

If this sounds like your month-end, we should talk

These aren’t edge cases. They’re every finance team’s reality once contractors are scattered across borders

Month-end day 29. The accountant needs proper documentation for every transaction. Provider A sent a PDF. Provider B sent nothing. Provider C sent something your accounting system won’t accept. You’re piecing together paperwork while the team waits to close the books.

“What did contractor ops actually cost last quarter?” The CEO asks. You pull three reports from three providers and get three different numbers. Each one books costs differently, on different timelines. You can’t answer with confidence — and the CEO notices.

The auditor wants the full chain. Twelve months of contractor engagements: contracts, invoices, tax classification, IP assignment. Your current setup has gaps — informal arrangements, intermediaries with unclear contractual chains, ambiguous worker status. You’re scrambling to reconstruct what should have been clean from day one.

The company is preparing for due diligence. The investor’s lawyers trace your contractor structure and find issues — entities without a clean chain of rights, schemes the new buyer’s compliance team won’t accept. You’re being asked to fix in two weeks what should have been built in two years.

What CFOs actually need: stability, not savings

A reliable contractor structure isn’t about the cheapest provider. It’s about being able to forecast the budget to the cent, hand the auditor a clean trail, and sleep through the night before due diligence. The companies that lose money on contractor ops don’t lose it on small line items — they lose it on reclassification claims, audit findings, and re-priced rounds. Kleos builds the financial infrastructure that holds up to scrutiny — yours, your auditor’s, and your investor’s.

That's what

does.

From firefighting payroll to forgetting about it

From “we have a problem” to “wait, that was it?”

Step 1

You talk to us (30 min)

A real conversation about your situation: team, jurisdictions, current providers, audit calendar, upcoming due diligence. We point out the structural risks, explain how the chain works, and answer your finance team’s questions. No forms, no “submit a ticket.”

Step 2

We set up the legal rails

Your company signs one B2B agreement with Kleos. We handle individual contracts with each contractor — compliance, tax classification, IP assignment, country-specific clauses. Your legal team reviews the structure once, not every hire.

Step 3

Your team onboards themselves

Each contractor gets a personal dashboard for KYC, banking details, tax documentation. Your finance team doesn’t touch any of it.

Step 4

One approval, everyone paid

Upload your registry. Approve with one button. One B2B invoice arrives in your accounting system. Compliance docs and audit trail generate automatically. Reconciliation: minutes, not days.

“From the point of view of the finance department, it is much easier to receive an invoice from one company, pay it, and record it as an expense. It’s transparent from the point of view of an external user.”

The questions keeping you from clicking that button

Fair questions, honest answers

How do I explain the Kleos structure to our auditors?

Kleos works through a Contractor of Record structure: you sign one B2B contract with Kleos, and Kleos contracts each worker. Your books show a single vendor and one invoice per cycle — simple to record and explain, with a documented payment chain auditors can follow.

What documentation do we get per transaction — is it audit-ready?

Every cycle you get one consolidated invoice plus per-payment records that tie each payout to a named contract and deliverable. It's stored in one place and exportable, so an audit request is one folder instead of a back-and-forth.

How does this hold up under due diligence?

The two-contract structure gives a clean, traceable payment chain and proper IP assignment — exactly what investors' lawyers look for. Teams have closed rounds with no legal flags on contractor payments.

Can we run one cycle as a test before migrating fully?

Yes. You can run a single payment cycle with a few contractors before moving your whole team over — no need to migrate everything at once.
