Home Helpers® Home Care Names Nick Evans as Chief Financial Officer to Support National In-Home Care Franchise Growth

Evans, a franchise finance executive with extensive experience in multi-unit and franchise operations, most recently served as CFO at Liberty Tax Services, where he led finance teams across complex, multi-entity and franchise organizations. He joins Home Helpers® Home Care at a pivotal moment for the brand.

Evans has been onboarding for the past several months alongside outgoing CFO Bill Burlingham in a deliberate, hands-on leadership overlap, giving him a significant head start on a typical CFO transition timeline. This transition strategy ensures minimal disruption and positions Evans to lead from day one with deep institutional knowledge already in place.

"The in-home care industry is at an inflection point, and the infrastructure Bill built positions Home Helpers to lead it," said Evans. "My goal is to continue that legacy by supporting our franchisees' growth, strengthening our financial systems and helping more people live independently and with dignity."

Evans steps into a role shaped by Burlingham, who is retiring after 11 years of exemplary service. His achievements include implementing the WellSky system nationwide, standardizing the Chart of Accounts across the network, overseeing the National Support Center relocation, and introducing Tableau and ProfitKeeper to strengthen system performance management capabilities.

Notable achievements include maintaining low turnover across the team and building a culture of trust; Burlingham's work at Home Helpers& Home Care spans more than 40 years in finance and accounting.

"Bill's impact on Home Helpers& Home Care goes far beyond the numbers. He brought stability, precision and deep commitment to this brand for over a decade to help us build smarter systems and a stronger foundation that our franchisees rely on every day," said Home Helpers Home Care CEO & President Emma Dickison. "We are profoundly grateful for his leadership and wish him a well-earned retirement."

"It has been the privilege of my career to serve this brand and the extraordinary people behind it," said Burlingham. "From our franchisees to the clients they care for every day, this work has always been bigger than finance. I'm grateful to know I'll be leaving the brand in great hands."

As Home Helpers& Home Care follows its activities in 2026, the organization focuses on providing in-home care to seniors. The organization operates in a category influenced by aging demographics and a growing preference for care that prioritizes dignity and independence at home.
