[Remote] Finance Integration Manager - Orion Services Group

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Orion Service Group is hiring a Manager, Finance Integration to lead the finance and accounting workstream for acquisitions from late-stage diligence through post-close integration. The role supports transaction diligence, opening balance sheets and purchase accounting, accounting process and system migrations, and the development of repeatable finance integration frameworks.

Responsibilities

• Join the deal after LOI to support the quality of earnings process and pressure-test the accounting behind the adjustments
• Form a view on the target's exposure profile across accounting, tax, and legal, including likelihood and magnitude, and route it to the VP of Corporate Controller, the deal team, and outside advisors as early as possible and before close wherever the timeline allows
• Assess the target's back office against what it will need to run efficiently inside the network, across people, process, and systems
• Track how identified risks are addressed, and carry what remains into the integration plan
• Own the collection and quality of the data our outside advisors need to finalize the ASC 805 valuation and the opening balance sheet
• Lead the balance sheet teardown at the acquired company and resolve what diligence surfaced
• Support net working capital true-up settlement and ensure it is recorded correctly
• Convert the acquired company's accounting onto Orion's processes, lead schedules, and reconciliation standards, and get them audit-ready alongside the rest of the network
• Lead migration onto Orion's accounting and control workflow platforms
• Be the accessible answer for accounting and finance questions on site and through the first close cycles
• Document the control environment at each acquisition and identify what has to be stood up first
• Maintain and improve the documentation framework for the finance onboarding of acquisitions: the playbook, checklists, templates, and lead schedule standards that make it executable by someone other than you
• Improve it after each deal so every acquisition starts further along than the last
• Partner with the Group VPs of Finance, who are the owners of the effort in their regions, and with the M&A Integrations Manager, who runs the overall integration program

Skills

• 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, Systems, and operating company leadership, and build consensus without direct authority
• 8+ years in accounting or finance, with meaningful experience in acquisitions, integration, transaction services, or audit
• Hands-on experience with business combination accounting: opening balance sheets, purchase price allocation, and working with third-party valuation specialists
• Experience with quality of earnings work or transaction diligence, from either the buy side or the advisory side
• Ability to form a view on tax and legal exposure at a target, size it, and know when to escalate it. You do not need to be the tax specialist, but you do need to recognize the issue and quantify the risk before someone else does
• Track record of standing up accounting processes where they were informal, and of writing the frameworks and templates that made them stick
• Direct involvement in at least one accounting system implementation or migration
• Proficiency across Microsoft Office and AI platforms (Claude or ChatGPT)
• Experience with COINs, Sage Intacct, FloQast, or comparable platforms is a strong plus
• Experience with monday.com or comparable project tooling is a plus
• CPA is a plus, not a requirement

Benefits

• Remote candidates will be considered for the right fit.
