CINCINNATI—Home Helpers Home Care, an in-home care franchise system, announced it has appointed Nick Evans as chief financial officer. He succeeds outgoing Chief Financial Officer Bill Burlingham, who is retiring after 11 years with the company.
"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, a franchise finance executive with past experience in multi-unit and franchise operations, most recently served as CFO at Liberty Tax Services, where he led large finance teams across complex, multi-entity and franchise organizations. He joins Home Helpers Home Care as it continues its national expansion in 2026 and continues to invest in franchise development, operational technology and support systems for franchise owners.
Evans has been onboarding for the past several months alongside outgoing Burlingham in a deliberate, hands-on leadership overlap.
"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."
Evans's achievements include constructing the system-wide implementation of WellSky, standardizing the chart of accounts across the entire franchise network, overseeing the National Support Center relocation and introducing Tableau and ProfitKeeper.
"Bill's impact on Home Helpers Home Care goes far beyond the numbers," said Emma Dickinson, Home Helpers Home Care CEO and president. "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. We are profoundly grateful for his leadership and wish him a well-earned retirement."
