WHY ORION
Most consulting firms send a team to learn your organization. Orion brings 20 years of having led at IU Health, Advocate Aurora, Fresenius Medical Care, public health districts, and digital health ventures. The difference is not methodological. It is experiential.
Principal-led delivery
Principal is in every engagement personally. Not a senior partner who checks in weekly, the person doing the work, every day, until it's done.
Healthcare expertise
Revenue cycle, capital programs, M&A, turnarounds, governance, every tool and framework built from healthcare financial leadership.
Speed to impact
An experienced principal diagnoses and acts in days. No learning curve. No ramp-up period. The Crisis Map is complete in 30 days.
Fraction of the cost
Senior CFO advisory at Orion costs a fraction of a Big 4 engagement, delivered by someone who has actually held the role, not studied it.
SERVICES
Eight service lines. One non-negotiable standard.
Every engagement is principal-led. Every deliverable is board-ready. Every recommendation comes from someone who has implemented it.
