Bow accountant raised capital abroad (5)
I believe the answer is:
accra
'capital abroad' is the definition.
(capital of Ghana)
'bow accountant raised' is the wordplay.
'bow' becomes 'arc' (synonyms).
'accountant' becomes 'CA' (abbreviation for chartered accountant).
'raised' is a reversal indicator (going up in a down clue).
'arc'+'ca'='arcca'
'arcca' in reverse letter order is 'ACCRA'.
(Other definitions for accra that I've seen before include "Main city of Ghana" , "West African capital" , "Largest city of Ghana" , "Ghanaian city" , "foreign capital" .)
