Build the systems before you scale.
Peupe Advisory helps small businesses with real growth potential get their contracts, vendors and operations in order, so growth builds on steady ground instead of chaos.
Serving businesses virtually, wherever you are.
In a tight economy, small gaps get expensive.
Money quietly leaking
Vendors that haven't been renegotiated in years, overlapping subscriptions, and costs that crept up while you were busy running things.
Time lost to workarounds
Manual scheduling, invoicing and follow-ups that eat your week and keep you working in the business instead of on it.
Growth you can't catch
Opportunities you turn down or miss because your systems, cash flow or team can't stretch to meet them.
How we help
Business consulting across four practice areas. Practical, hands-on work that pays for itself: fewer leaks, smoother operations and room to grow.
Operations and procurement
We review what you spend, benchmark your vendors, put contracts in order and fix the workflows behind them, so savings show up as real dollars.
Training
Practical procurement and operations workshops for purchasing staff, program managers and small suppliers, with templates your team keeps.
Growth and strategy
We look at where your demand is heading and get your systems, pricing, capacity and supplier risk ready to grow without overextending.
Technology services
We set up the tools you run on, automate the manual work, close basic data security gaps and build dashboards to track vendors and spend.

Nonnie Karanja, Founder
Hi, I'm Nonnie.
I've built my career stepping into organizations during their messiest moments: contracts being consolidated, the same vendors paid from different accounts, and no single picture of the spend. My work has been building the reports, trackers and frameworks that turn that into clear decisions.
My journey started in Kenya, in small businesses and in public service with the Kenya Revenue Authority and the Kenya Police Service. Over ten years, I've worked across the public and private sectors in both Kenya and the United States, bringing a cybersecurity lens to procurement and operations.
Now I bring that clarity to small businesses that are ready to grow. I named the business Peupe, the Kiswahili word for stainless, because that's what I want for every business I work with.
