We are Growth Lending. We work with innovative and high-growth companies, helping them to accelerate their growth by providing flexible credit solutions. We provide facilities from £100,000 to £30m and have lent more than £1bn to more than 500 companies and counting. We have a global footprint, with offices in London, Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham, Manila, Atlanta and Cape Town.


This role is to join our Finance team in Cape Town. It is a fantastic opportunity for a diligent, motivated individual who wants to grow and succeed in a small, dynamic team. Taking full ownership of your work, you will form a strong partnership with your manager, to ensure that all group accounts are processed on time and with perfect accuracy. On a day-to-day basis, you will have a lot to juggle. Whether it's managing supplier payments across the group and providing them for weekly release, or providing perfect data for the monthly reporting pack to senior management, your attention to detail and focus will come to the fore. You'll be driving cost reviews and analysis while managing costs through regular supplier reviews. You will also be assisting with annual audits and gaining experience in countless other ways. If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely shine and grow, this is an ideal option.


You’ll need a Finance degree and at least intermediate Excel skills. You should be comfortable using Accounting software (Xero etc.). A love of process and accuracy are the basic requirements for this role.


We guarantee accelerated professional growth in return for the right skills, attitude and dedication. We pride ourselves on being a continuous learning organisation, so we offer regular feedback, coaching sessions and continuous on-the-job training. We are even open to supporting ongoing professional qualifications for the right person who can really show us their potential. If this role is exciting and fits with your career plans, we look forward to reading your application. If you are interested in our thriving organisation, then find out more about us at growthlending.com.

We do things differently. Growth Lending is no ordinary place to work. From the start we have focused on driving up diversity and inclusion in the financial services space. We strive constantly to ensure that throughout our team, at all levels, we achieve a diversity that matches the world around us and not just the sector in which we operate.


To support this aim we offer every member of the team the following:


• An organisation that embraces and encourages diversity, top to bottom and end to end

• Diverse recruitment panels

• Enhanced parental leave policies and practices

• Flexible working patterns, including working from home and fitting around the family, plus part-time positions where possible from a business perspective

• Strictly monitored and enforced pay equality

• One-to-one coaching and mentoring programme from a highly skilled and experienced People team

• Access to high quality internal and external training

• Excellent benefits and Employee Assistance Programme as standard, with additional external support when required


When we say that everyone is welcome, we can prove that we mean it. We are a highly supportive employer and we know we only get the best of the best when the only things we judge are experience, skills and aptitude. Growth Lending’s organisational culture celebrates difference and encourages individuality, so start thinking about where you fit in.

What We Do

We bridge the funding gap, fuelling the success of high-growth businesses in the UK, US and across Europe.

We've been supporting SMEs since 2011, when we first noticed a missing link in the funding ecosystem for growing businesses.

Back then we focused on growth capital, bridging the gap between traditional banks and equity under the banner of BOOST&Co, but we knew this didn’t solve the whole problem.

In 2020 we acquired GapCap and KX Media Capital, uniting these brands under the Growth Lending banner and launching our first working capital facilities.

In the years that have followed, we have grown significantly, but some things remain the same: much like the firms we support, we do things a little bit differently. A human-first lending approach enables us to be agile and flexible, with decisions made by people, not machines.

To date, we have lent more than £1bn to growing businesses.
