Co-owner, RR Accountants · Founder, Rajoka · Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2025
I co-own a UK accounting practice and build the software it runs on. Practice Insider is what's actually working inside UK firms.

Mehmood Rajoka arrived in the UK in 2011. By 2016 he'd built an eBay business to £1M a year, for someone else. So he started again, unpaid, as a bookkeeper at RR Accountants in Birmingham. Six years later he bought in and became a 50% co-owner.
Along the way they took the firm digital. Every tool they couldn't find, he built. That became Rajoka, a group of UK businesses that includes software for practices: compliance, bookkeeping and practice management. In 2025 he was named Young Entrepreneur of the Year.
Ten years inside a practice taught him this: AI won't replace good firms. It will expose the badly run ones.
Born into a rural community where ambition came from observing a different world. Early exposure through an elite college shifted what was possible.

Built an eBay business to £1M turnover — for an employer, not himself. The lesson that shaped everything after: never build value you don't own.

Launched Mantle Partners as the acquisition arm of Rajoka. A long-horizon growth-by-acquisition strategy: acquire, operate, and compound proven UK businesses with the goal of scaling the Rajoka portfolio toward £100M. Capital deployed with operator discipline, not spreadsheet optimism.

Rajoka is the parent brand and institutional umbrella behind a focused house of operating companies. It helps businesses start, run, and grow — across four operating layers.
The foundation every business stands on.
The systems that turn effort into output.
The reach that compounds over time.
Capital deployed with operator discipline.
Each company stays primary in its own market. Rajoka is the standards layer behind them — not a service marketplace, not a software platform.
Constraints sharpen judgment. The best operators do more with less for longer than feels reasonable.
Every repeat decision belongs in a system. Personal effort scales linearly. Systems compound.
Each company in the portfolio has one job. Clarity of purpose protects against operational drift.
Governance, standards, and infrastructure are not bureaucracy — they are how good companies become durable ones.
Decisions are made on a ten-year horizon. The market rewards patience differently from social platforms.
Documenting the journey sharpens the operating. The work is the brand, and the record is the proof.

Long-horizon capital and acquisition platform built with operator discipline, not spreadsheet optimism.
I keep my inbox narrow on purpose. If you're building something serious — across compliance, operations, growth, or capital — I'd like to hear from you.
