In Their Own Words
What Leadership Says
“Peter has been with Craydel since the very early days of our journey. He worked tirelessly to build our accounting, finance, HR, and operations functions from the ground up across all five countries we operate in (Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and the USA), navigating the complexities of cross-border dealings and multi-jurisdictional compliance with sincerity and integrity. He has also handled relationships with external authorities and our audit partners with intelligence and rigor. Beyond his technical strengths, Peter is an exceptionally warm people person (a rare quality in finance professionals), and he is genuinely loved and cherished by the entire team. I would recommend Peter with full confidence for any senior finance or operations role.”

I had the opportunity to work with Peter for over a year while I was University Partnerships Manager at Craydel. Throughout our time working together, Peter was always very helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive. He was someone I could rely on whenever I had questions, and he was always willing to share his expertise and find solutions.

Peter joined Craydel as our only finance team member in the early days when we were in two countries and had just began generating revenue. When he left, Craydel was in 9 countries with 100+ employees, generating millions of dollars in revenues. He was the most senior finance member for most of his tenure. He was well liked by the entire company and was dedicated and hardworking. I will always value his loyalty, especially when we had to overcome short-term challenges with fundraising and rationalizing team members. His accounting knowledge is solid and I could always trust him (enough to give him access to company bank accounts and tax filings), which extremely important when hiring someone in finance. Best of luck in whatever challenge he takes on next.

Working with Peter was a pleasure. He brought a consistently positive attitude to the work floor and was reliable, even as he managed complex, multi-country financial operations behind the scenes. Whenever I needed support or an update, Peter responded quickly and always had a clear grasp of what was happening across our finance function. He was one of the first people I'd turn to because I knew I could count on him to be knowledgeable, dependable, and proactive.

Country IT&MIS Manager, Chancen International - Kenya
Peter has been a invaluable Head of Finance for Craydel, directing our financial operations across nine markets and managing our holding company in the US and all of this was managed remotely. He built the internal controls and reporting processes that gave us confidence in our numbers across every market, and his tax optimization work meaningfully reduced our liabilities while keeping us fully compliant in every jurisdiction. Beyond finance, his input into our CRM application requirements shaped key parts of the Craydel platform's development, ensuring the tool actually reflected how our finance and operations teams needed to work. What stands out most is how well he operates remotely: he manages multi-currency transactions, mentors finance staff and other staff across time zones, and coordinates cross-functional teams as smoothly as if he were on-site. I'd recommend him without hesitation to any organization that has a similar structure. Peter is the most honest and trustworthy…this are rare qualities in this world.

As the external tax consultant and statutory auditor engaged by Craydel Nigeria Limited since 2022, I have had the opportunity to work closely with Peter Kamau throughout his tenure as Head of Finance overseeing the company's Nigerian operations, alongside his broader responsibilities across Craydel's Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe, and USA entities. Peter has consistently been one of the most reliable and technically sound finance leads I have worked with on a cross-border engagement of this nature. Coordinating audit and tax matters for a Nigerian subsidiary from a remote base in Nairobi is not a trivial undertaking: it requires precise recordkeeping, a strong grasp of local statutory requirements, and disciplined communication across time zones. Peter met that bar consistently, year after year. A few things stood out to me over the course of our working relationship: Audit readiness. Peter's team consistently came to our annual statutory audits with clean, well-reconciled records and supporting schedules prepared in advance. This significantly reduced audit turnaround time and the volume of follow-up queries we typically encounter with multi-country engagements. Tax compliance and strategy. He demonstrated a readiness to learn and apply the Nigerian tax legislation (corporate income tax, withholding tax, and related statutory filings) and worked proactively with our team to structure transactions in a way that was both compliant and tax-efficient. Cross-border coordination. Managing finance across five jurisdictions from a single remote base is operationally demanding. Peter maintained consistency in reporting standards and internal controls across all entities, which made consolidated review and audit sign-off considerably more straightforward on our end. Responsiveness and professionalism. Queries raised during fieldwork or interim reviews were typically addressed within one to two business days, with clear supporting documentation. This level of responsiveness is not something we take for granted in remote, multi-country engagements. In my professional opinion, Peter combines strong technical accounting and tax knowledge with the discipline and communication skills needed to manage finance functions remotely across borders, a genuinely difficult combination to find. I would work with him again without hesitation and recommend him for any organization seeking a finance professional capable of managing complex, multi-jurisdictional compliance and reporting from a distributed setup.
