Head of Finance

About Quro Medical

Quro Medical is a digital healthcare company building connected models of care across hospital-at-home, transitional care, remote patient monitoring and technology-enabled healthcare delivery.

The business is entering its next phase of growth and requires stronger financial leadership, governance, reporting discipline and commercial decision support. We are looking for a Head of Finance who can help build the finance function required for that next stage.

Role Overview

The Head of Finance will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer and serve as the senior finance lead in the business.

This is a hands-on finance leadership role. It is not a traditional CFO appointment, but it carries many of the practical responsibilities a CFO would ordinarily hold in a scaling business: ownership of the finance function, confidence in the numbers, budgeting, forecasting, reporting, governance, commercial finance and decision support.

The role exists to provide the business with a trusted finance leader who can own the finance agenda day-to-day, strengthen the finance team, and reduce the extent to which financial interpretation, escalation, and follow-through still sit with the CEO.

The successful candidate must be financially anchored, commercially sharp and operationally hands-on. They must be able to work in the trenches with the finance team, interrogate the numbers, guide the process and improve the quality of outputs. They must also be able to step into senior forums, communicate clearly and help leadership understand what the numbers mean and what decisions should follow.

In simple terms, we need someone who can wear the overalls and the suit.

Purpose of the Role

The Head of Finance will build and lead a finance function that the business can trust.

This means ensuring that:

• the numbers are accurate, timely and properly reviewed;


• reporting is not only produced, but interpreted;


• budgets and forecasts become active management tools;


• commercial decisions are supported by rigorous financial thinking;


• risks are surfaced early, with clear recommendations;


• the finance team receives stronger leadership, support and development;


• business development, funder management, tariff negotiations and client retention are supported by sound financial analysis; and


• the CEO, executive team, Board and shareholders receive clear, credible and decision-useful information.

The role sits at the intersection of technical finance, commercial judgement and operating leadership.

Key Responsibilities

Finance Leadership

• Lead the finance function and take ownership of its performance, maturity and credibility.


• Work closely with the Finance Manager and broader finance team to strengthen the quality, timeliness and usefulness of financial reporting and analysis.


• Provide senior oversight, review and guidance without simply taking the work away from the team.


• Clarify roles, responsibilities and review processes across the finance function.


• Develop the finance team's capability through coaching, structured review, and practical support.


• Build a culture of accuracy, accountability, early escalation and continuous improvement.


• Provide leadership on corporate and commercial finance matters.

Financial Reporting, Controls and Governance

• Own the quality, integrity and reliability of Quro Medical’s financial information.


• Oversee monthly management accounts, statutory reporting, audit, tax, cash-flow reporting, balance-sheet review and financial controls.


• Interrogate the numbers before they are presented to the CEO, executive team, Board or shareholders.


• Ensure that material movements, risks, assumptions and accounting judgements are understood and clearly explained.


• Strengthen reporting disciplines, review processes, governance frameworks and internal controls.


• Maintain confidence in the numbers through appropriate preparation, review and sign-off processes.

Budgeting, Forecasting and Performance Management

• Lead the annual budget, reforecasts and rolling financial planning processes taking into account strategic business priorities, constraints and emerging economic trends.


• Establish a disciplined monthly performance rhythm across actual results, budgets, forecasts and management actions.


• Ensure variance analysis explains what happened, why it happened, what it means and what needs to be done.


• Connect financial results to the underlying drivers of the business, including volumes, utilisation, staffing, pricing, customer mix, scheme performance and product profitability.


• Help the executive team move from reporting performance to actively managing performance.


• Plan and negotiate with the board for resources to ensure the delivery of the medium-term plan.

Commercial Finance and Decision Support

• Partner with the CEO and executive team on the financial and commercial questions that matter most.


• Provide analysis and recommendations on pricing, margins, customer economics, scheme performance, product profitability, cost-to-serve and growth opportunities.


• Build and review financial models for new products, partnerships, contracts, markets and investment decisions.


• Lead commercial negotiations with clear financial analysis, scenario planning and risk assessment.


• Ensure strategic and commercial decisions are financially sound, properly governed and linked to measurable outcomes.


• Help the organisation use the numbers to decide what should happen next, not only to explain what has already happened.

Stakeholder Engagement

• Serve as the senior finance voice in engagements with the Board, shareholders, auditors, funders, advisers and other relevant stakeholders.


• Prepare and review Board papers, shareholder reports, financial updates, investment cases and decision submissions.


• Translate complex financial and operational information into clear narratives for financial and non-financial audiences.


• Support the CEO in maintaining stakeholder confidence through clear reporting, early escalation and well-supported recommendations.


• Own the numbers presented externally or to governance forums, ensuring they are reliable, well understood and capable of being defended.


• Plan and coordinate business processes to ensure effective interface with other business divisions and associated entities.


• Support the COO in risk governance and compliance.

Systems, Data and Process Improvement

• Assess whether current finance systems, processes and reporting tools are fit for the next phase of the business.


• Improve automation, documentation, controls and reporting processes where required.


• Strengthen the link between financial data, operational data, clinical activity and commercial performance.


• Develop dashboards and reporting tools that help leaders understand performance and act quickly.


• Ensure key processes are repeatable, scalable and not overly dependent on any single individual.

Strategy, Best Practice and Group Leverage

• Translate strategic priorities into clear financial plans, operating actions and measurable outcomes, including long-term profitability and sustained growth.


• Provide financial insight into strategic trade-offs, risks, resource allocation and execution requirements.


• Conduct environmental scanning to identify emerging risks, market shifts, best-practice approaches and new growth opportunities.


• Identify where centralised group capabilities can strengthen Quro’s finance, treasury, tax, reporting, legal, procurement, systems or governance capability.


• Ensure Quro achieves maximum benefit from available group support while maintaining internal ownership, speed and accountability.


• Translate group requirements into practical processes that improve discipline without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.

Experience and Qualifications

The successful candidate is likely to have:

• CA(SA) strongly preferred, or an equivalent professional finance qualification with strong practical finance leadership experience;


• at least 5 years of relevant senior finance experience;


• experience working directly with a CEO, executive team, Board or shareholders;


• commercial business experience, with a thorough understanding of financial and business management principles. E.g. pricing, profitability, financial modelling, scenario analysis and investment evaluation;


• experience developing or improving finance processes, reporting and controls;


• experience managing or developing finance team members; and

Experience in healthcare, technology, SaaS, managed services, scale-up, entrepreneurial or a regulated environment would be advantageous but is not essential.
