As others have said, systemd supports SysV init scripts.  However,
unless your init script is doing lots of intricate stuff, have a look at
the unit files shipped in systemd ... Like these ones:

   /usr/lib/systemd/system/sshd.service
   /usr/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service

It's not hard to switch over, unless your init script does lots of other
things than just starting and stopping services.

The systemd.unit(5) man page is also quite comprehensive and informative.
