  • Work closely with leadership to align finance transformation with broader operational goals.
  • Evaluate, select, and implement cloud-based accounting, payroll, invoicing, and reporting tools suitable for the care sector (e.g., Xero, Dext, BrightPay, CareBlox).
  • Lead the integration of systems (APIs, middleware, or manual processes) to ensure seamless data flow between platforms.
  • Build automated processes for payroll, invoicing, bank reconciliation, reporting, and compliance.
  • Create and manage the transformation project plan, including milestones, timelines, budgets, and resource allocation.
  • Collaborate with internal staff, software providers, and consultants as needed.
  • Monitor progress and report regularly to the leadership team.
  • Design and deliver staff training for new tools and processes.
  • Develop SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) and finance manuals.
  • Support adoption through coaching, documentation, and ongoing troubleshooting.
  • Build live financial dashboards and reporting templates.
  • Set up KPI tracking (e.g. occupancy vs. revenue, cost per resident).
  • Ensure financial controls, audit trails, and compliance with HMRC and GDPR.

Key Skills:

  • Expertise in Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage Cloud (Xero preferred).
  • Knowledge of care home billing systems (e.g., CoolCare, CareBlox) is a plus.
  • Project management skills (Prince2, Agile, or similar methodologies a bonus).
  • Strong communication, change management, and training delivery skills.
  • Analytical mindset with attention to detail and a focus on efficiency and automation.
