Finance Integration Manager

At Orion, we are builders. We want to be the gold standard for people in the Commercial Services trades. We are building a 100+ year business with an A+ team, driven, excited about the future, and looking for people who want to build with us. We believe in hiring people with a growth mindset who are committed to building something bigger than themselves.

Our culture is grounded in four core values:
Coach, Compete, Collaborate, and Commit. We strive to be low ego, high performance, and deeply committed to our people, our Operating Companies, and our long-term vision.

Orion Service Group is a growing network of commercial services businesses across the United States, spanning HVAC, electrical, plumbing, building automation, and related trades. We are highly acquisitive, integrating 10-15 operating companies per year, and converting each acquisition into a stable, growth-ready business within the first 90 days of ownership.

Orion is a roll-up-your-sleeves culture. At all levels, we expect people to prioritize, act quickly and effectively, demonstrate agility in their thinking, and get the job done every day. This is not a sit-back-and-direct environment. We value doers, problem-solvers, and people who are hands-on and decisive.

The Manager of Finance Integration owns the finance and accounting workstream across Orion's acquisitions, from late stage diligence through the first close cycles under our ownership. This role sits on the Corporate Controllership team and reports to the VP, Corporate Controller.

You will serve two very different clients. Before close, you support the deal team: pressure-testing the quality of earnings and forming a view on the accounting, tax, legal, and back-office exposure that transaction diligence does not always reach. After close, your client becomes the finance team of the company we just bought. You are on the ground with them, standing up the opening balance sheet, converting their accounting onto our processes and lead schedules, and getting them audit ready alongside the rest of the network.

This is a builder’s role. Our Group VPs of Finance lead the effort to bring each acquisition in their region up to the Orion standard. You build and implement the frameworks and playbooks that make that possible and carry them from deal to deal. You will work alongside the M&A Integrations Manager, who runs the overall integration program, while you own the finance workstream inside it.

Much of the value here comes from being physically present at newly acquired companies, working shoulder to shoulder with a controller who has never operated inside a platform before.

Hands-on accounting depth - you are comfortable with business combination accounting, opening balance sheets, working capital settlements, and reconciliation standards, and you can work through a question with a controller in the moment rather than taking it away and coming back.

Exposure assessment - you can analysis where risk hide in a business, and you form and defend a view across accounting, tax, legal, HR, and IT, including how large it could be and how likely. You surface it early enough to shape the deal rather than only to explain it afterward.

Documentation discipline - you maintain and improve the frameworks and templates that let other people repeat what you did, written well enough to execute without you in the room.

Ability to push standards, not just help - you are as effective at holding a line as you are at rolling up your sleeves. This role is a resource to the operating companies and also the person who leads them to change.

Field presence and credibility - you build trust with operating controllers, and you earn the right to change how they work by knowing the work. A meaningful share of this job is teaching people through a large transition of their career.

Ownership mentality - when the numbers are not right, it becomes your problem to solve, even if you did not create it. You take full accountability for the integration workstream you lead

Systems fluency - you migrate companies onto new platforms without losing the history, and you understand what a system can enforce and what only judgment can.

Comfort with ambiguity and a fast pace - you work several deals at different stages at once, adapt to companies that look nothing alike, and stay organized under a high volume of concurrent demands.

Low ego, high collaboration - you partner across the deal team, Integrations,…
