Sector · Care homes & care groups

Care home finance, run like clockwork.

Care operators run the hardest payroll in Britain: shift rotas, sleep-ins, agency staff, night differentials, and pension rules that change mid-year. Add local-authority remittances that never match the invoice, private-fee top-ups and multi-home consolidation, and finance quietly eats your registered manager’s week. We run it instead: books reconciled weekly, payroll right first time, and one report per home, per month.

What we take off your desk.

Shift and sleep-in payroll

Rotas, night rates, sleep-in shifts and agency cover processed correctly every run, RTI filed on or before payday, pensions assessed and submitted.

Local authority reconciliations

LA remittances matched to residents and rates, shortfalls chased with evidence, private top-ups invoiced and tracked.

Multi-home reporting

P&L per home, occupancy-linked staff cost ratios, and one consolidated pack for the group board, monthly.

A dedicated finance employee

Most care groups outgrow a service plan. A dedicated Punchhole FTE runs invoicing, payroll prep and reconciliations inside your systems, UK-supervised, from £1,200/month.

Care homes: what owners ask us.

Can you handle sleep-in shift pay correctly?

Yes. Sleep-ins, night differentials and overtime are built into every pay run, with the calculations documented so an inspection or tribunal query is answerable in minutes.

We run three homes on different systems. A problem?

No. We consolidate across systems and produce one group pack. Most groups let us standardise them onto one platform over time, at their pace.

What does a dedicated care-home FTE cost?

From £1,200/month, fixed, roughly a third of employing the same role locally, with leave cover and UK-qualified review included.

Do you understand CQC-related record demands?

We keep the financial records inspection-ready: payroll trails, agency invoices, resident fee ledgers, all reconciled and retrievable.

UK registered, UK accountable

Your contract is with Punchhole Solutions Limited, a UK company (no. 14414905), with senior review before every filing.

India-powered pricing

Our India back office does the daily work, the same model the Big Four use, so weekly bookkeeping costs what quarterly used to.

Reliability you can check

Filings months early, deadline calendars a quarter ahead, 2,000+ returns filed. One named person who answers the same day.

Thirty minutes. One fixed number.
