Kitakuya started as a late-night idea on a laptop in Vienna. I'm Alexios — a solo developer who watched his partner struggle with spreadsheets, PDF templates, and BIR forms just to get paid properly. So I built the tool she deserved.
The name comes from kita (earnings) and kuya (big brother) — because this tool is built with the same care I'd want for my own. Every invoice template, every tax calculation, every W-8BEN line item was built for someone I love.
No VC funding. No marketing team. Just me, a lot of coffee, and the belief that Filipino freelancers deserve tools that work as hard as they do.
The Philippine freelance market is one of the fastest-growing in the world, yet the tools available are either built for US contractors or require a CPA to navigate. Kitakuya bridges that gap. One dashboard. One profile. Every form auto-filled. Every deadline tracked.
If you're a freelancer in Manila, Cebu, or anywhere in between — this is for you.
