Director of Finance

Lakeshore Sport & Fitness, Elite Sports Clubs, Prairie Athletic Club, and Union Padel Club are an alliance of family-friendly, multi-sport recreation and fitness facilities — and in our markets, we’re the #1 destination for sport, fitness, and fun.

We are seeking a hands-on Director of Finance to oversee accounting, payroll, and financial planning across our portfolio of eight health clubs in Illinois and Wisconsin. This role leads the organization’s financial operations while partnering closely with leadership to support smart decision-making and strong business performance.

The Director of Finance will work closely with operational leaders to translate financial data into clear insights that support great club operations and exceptional member experiences.
