Job description

FINANCE MANAGER

Glasgow • Full time, permanent

A rare opportunity to lead and shape the finance function of a growing, family-owned Scottish care group.

Keane Premier Group (KPG) is a second-generation, family-owned Scottish care provider founded in 2008. Following its acquisition of Priority Care Group in April 2026, the group now runs 12 care homes and a domiciliary care business, with 450 beds and more than 700 staff.

With two legacy finance functions coming together, including the implementation of a new finance system, KPG is looking for a Finance Manager to lead the team day to day alongside the Finance Director. This is a hands-on leadership role with real influence over how finance supports the next stage of the group's growth.

THE ORGANISATION

KPG's care homes deliver predominantly nursing care, alongside a domiciliary care service (Keane Premier Support Services) and a supported living development (Stewarton Residences). The group is privately owned, ambitious and continuing to grow through acquisition. Finance sits at the centre of that growth: bringing the combined team together, strengthening reporting to the board and lenders, and modernising systems and processes.

THE ROLE

Reporting to the Finance Director and leading a team of 6, you'll own the running of the finance team and the delivery of accurate, timely financial information across all group entities.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading, coaching and developing a team of 6 across purchase ledger, sales ledger and fee income, credit control, cash and bank, and management accounts
• Building one consistent finance operating model across the combined group, with shared processes, controls and a single month-end timetable
• Owning the month-end close and producing management accounts, home-level P&Ls and KPIs (occupancy, fee rates, agency spend, staff cost ratios) with variance commentary
• Maintaining balance sheet integrity, including reconciliations, accruals, prepayments, intercompany and fixed assets
• Preparing lender and covenant compliance packs, and supporting the FD with board reporting
• Leading year-end and acting as the main point of contact for the external auditors
• Overseeing cash flow forecasting, treasury and payment runs, and resident fee billing to local authorities, health boards and private payers
• Driving credit control and debtor reduction across all homes and services
• Leading the implementation and roll-out of a new finance system, including integrations with care management, rostering and payroll systems
• Partnering with the Operations Director, regional and home managers on budgets, forecasts and cost control, and supporting acquisition integration and due diligence

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

We're looking for a qualified finance leader who combines strong technical grounding with a practical, hands-on style. You'll be calm under pressure, take ownership and see change through, and be able to explain the numbers clearly to managers outside finance.

Essential:

• Qualified accountant (ACCA, CIMA, ICAS or equivalent), or qualified by experience with a strong track record at this level
• Experience managing a finance team of similar size, including recruitment, development and performance management
• Strong management accounting, month-end and balance sheet control, and confidence preparing multi-entity group reporting
• Experience with iplicit, Sage Intacct, Xero, NetSuite, Dynamics 365 or equivalent
• Background in a multi-site, people-heavy business (care, hospitality, leisure, facilities or similar)
• Advanced Excel, clear written and verbal communication, and an organised, deadline-driven approach

Desirable:

• Care home or domiciliary care experience, including local authority and health board fee funding
• Lender or covenant reporting, and leading year-end and audit for a group
• Integrating finance with payroll, rostering or care management systems
• Building or restructuring a team following a merger or acquisition
• Power BI or similar reporting tools
• Previous experience operating within an SME or owner-managed business

WHAT WE OFFER

The role is based at KPG's head office at 125 Cambuslang Road, Glasgow, with occasional travel to the Dundee office. It offers the following salary and benefits:

• Competitive salary of £50k - £60k gross per annum
• Pension
• Life assurance and private medical
• Enhanced Holiday entitlement of 34 days per annum
• Support for continuing professional development and professional subscriptions
• Direct access to the Managing Director and Group Finance Director
• The chance to shape the finance function and its systems as the group grows

If you're looking for a senior finance role with genuine ownership, a team to lead and a function to shape, we'd love to hear from you.
