Kallas Restaurant Accounting celebrates it’s 75th year in business in 2021.

Wow! That is a long time. And still going strong to serve your needs.

Nicholas Kallas founded the company in 1946. George took over in 1984 and Nicolas Kallas continues today. For 75 years, restaurant owners have had a trusted tax advisor they can talk to personally and locally. No distant corporate ownership, voice machines or layers of bureaucracy to get you a quick answer to a tax or accounting question.

After 75 years, Kallas is still the only accounting firm in Michigan specializing 100 percent in closely held and family-owned restaurants and bars.

The benefits of our unique specialization are huge. You get unparalleled expertise in the industry. You get an accounting firm that knows your issues and problems and responds quickly. You get the right-sized firm – not too small and not too big. You get reasonable pricing and more services.

The new ERTC is a striking example of how our specialization benefits you.
No major payroll company or accounting firm was equipped to handle the ERTC from beginning to end. The payroll companies could only do a small portion of the entire process and depending on YOU to advise them. And most accounting firms do not have enough qualifying businesses to invest in the time and research necessary and if they did, it was at a very high consultation fee.

Kallas started studying the rules when they were first issued and had internal meetings on how to bring this great benefit to our restaurant clients. We have the payroll expertise, the accounting expertise, and the tax expertise to handle the entire process for you.

And we found the loophole in the law that made virtually all restaurants eligible.

One thing I can say after 75 years, is that everyone at Kallas appreciates you. We know you as family. Without your loyalty, we could not have survived 75 years.

I also know that we could not do it without the fantastic and loyal employees either.

Many of you know them and talk to them all the time. Please go to the website at www.KallasCompany.com for a complete listing and photos of our staff. Click on “About Us”.

Our undying gratitude for many years of service, loyalty, and production to: Jim Humanik 29 years, Sheri Banach 29 years, Cathy Infantado 21 years, Arnold Patton 21 years, Daniel Wilson 15 years, Dawn Jankowski 15 years, Jordan Anderson 8 years, and Tony Gawel 8 years. Also, Lakia, Sue, Ravyn, Chat, Jason, Kim, Jacob, Andrea, Julie, Carrie, Michelle, and Brian.
This is the best team of professionals I have ever been lucky enough to work with.
