Internal ops · designed & built in-house

We designed and built our agency’s
operating system. From scratch.

KiloFlow runs the back office at Kilo Content — time, payroll, projects, expenses, invoicing, client billing. Designed and engineered end-to-end by the same team that builds for our clients.

01 / What it does

Six modules. One schema. Zero glue code.

Each one replaced a spreadsheet, a SaaS subscription, or a Slack reminder. They share one auth, one database, one source of truth.

01

Time & Payroll

4-tier × 4-rate-type matrix, calculated on submission. Payable in one click.

Replaced QuickBooks Payroll
02

Projects & Budgets

Estimates, actuals, margin in real time. Flags fire before you blow the number.

Replaced 3 spreadsheets
03

Expenses & Receipts

Drag a receipt, attach to a project, reimburse on the next payroll run.

Replaced Expensify
04

Invoicing

Composer, hosted pay pages, Stripe ACH, reconciliation — under one roof.

Replaced QuickBooks Online
05

Client Billing

Recurring retainers, milestone billing, deposit-and-final flows. Generated, sent, chased.

Replaced manual reminders
06

Cron Reminders

Polite at 7 days, firmer at 14, escalates at 30. The clock runs whether anyone’s watching.

Replaced calendar pings
02 / Why & how

We didn’t find the right tool. So we built it.

QuickBooks couldn’t model how we actually pay people. Spreadsheets couldn’t either.

Our payroll is a 4-tier × 4-rate-type matrix — full-day, half-day, accrued hourly, overtime — with per-employee tier allowlists. Off-the-shelf tools forced us to flatten it, which meant manual reconciliation every two weeks. KiloFlow models the matrix natively. Time picks up the right rate. Payroll runs in minutes. Boring, in the best way.
