About Raju
Raju Gajurel is a qualified chartered accountant, chartered tax adviser and recognised Making Tax Digital specialist with more than 23+ years of experience in accounting, finance and taxation. He is the author of the Accountant's Handbook on Making Tax Digital, a practitioner-written reference now relied on by hundreds of UK accountants, and has helped thousands of clients achieve financial success as an accountant, auditor, tax adviser and financial analyst.
Over his career, Raju has worked with a wide range of entities, from small clients to groups holding more than £1 billion in assets, including time at firms such as KPMG and BDO. As a property investor himself, he understands the everyday issues faced by property investors and brings that perspective to his advisory work for property investors, developers and entrepreneurs.
He also holds the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) qualification from the CFA Institute, USA.
Raju advises residential and commercial property investors and developers, UK and offshore real estate funds, FCA-authorised entities such as real estate hedge funds, private equity, family offices, brokers, traders and asset managers, non-resident investors and landlords, and large corporate groups operating across multiple jurisdictions.
His areas of expertise include audit, group restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, complex tax planning across corporate tax, income tax, SDLT, VAT, IHT and CGT, Finance Director services and outsourced finance functions, and investor reporting.
Raju sees contributing to the profession as inseparable from running the practice, not something that happens on the side. He is the author of the Accountant's Handbook on Making Tax Digital, a practitioner-written guide for accountants navigating MTD compliance. Over 700 copies were distributed free of charge at Accountex London 2026, with copies taken within hours, and the book is now also published on Amazon.
He has spoken at the Property Investor Show London 2026 and Accountex London 2026 on property taxation, technology adoption and building a specialist practice. He also speaks regularly at local property investor networks and ACCA programmes, focusing on making complex tax topics accessible to non-specialists and helping early-career accountants build sustainable, technology-led practices.
“We are building RentalBux to give every UK landlord the same standard of tax software a top-tier firm would use, without the complexity or the cost. MTD should not be a burden, it should be the moment landlords finally take control of their numbers.”
