ETS Performance is one of the fastest-growing athletic training platforms in the U.S., with over 50 locations serving more than 15,000 athletes. Founded by Ryan Englebert and NFL wide receiver Adam Thielen, ETS has its sights set on 100 gyms by 2027.

For VP of Finance Lukas Inveiss, that rapid expansion came with a challenge: how to manage the financial operations of 50+ legal entities, dozens of minority partners, and a complex intercompany structure — without building a large, expensive finance team.

Before LiveFlow: Late reports and Messy Consolidation

When Lukas joined, ETS relied on outsourced accountants who delivered static Excel reports each month. The process was slow, error-prone, and offered little visibility for operators and partners.

As the company grew, so did the complexity:

• 50+ legal entities across the U.S.

• Heavy intercompany activity (admin fees, shared expenses, loans)

• A chaotic chart of accounts from years of rapid expansion

• Manual consolidations that were brittle and time-consuming

“Without accurate, timely financials you can’t run a business. We needed a better way.”

Lukas quickly realized the choice was clear: either add more people or find a way to automate multi-entity reporting.

Why LiveFlow

A quick demo showed Luke exactly what he was looking for:

• Drag-and-drop mapping to clean up and standardize the chart of accounts

• Drill-down visibility to resolve elimination mismatches and intercompany issues instantly

• Refreshable reports in Google Sheets and Excel, so partners and operators could access live data without a QuickBooks login

  
  

“Seeing mapping go from a thousand accounts to zero in a few minutes was… oddly satisfying.”

Results: A lean finance team that scales with growth

With LiveFlow, Consolidated reports that once took hours are now available in seconds, and partner-ready packages refresh automatically.

The impact:

• 1–2 incremental hires avoided while adding new gyms each quarter

• Faster reporting — once bookkeeping is complete, financial packages are ready instantly

• Greater accuracy — drill down and clean mapping removed month-end guesswork

• Empowered operators — gym directors now get timely, accurate revenue and variance views

  
  

“LiveFlow saved us the cost of extra hires and transformed month-end. It lets a small team run 50+ entities — and keep scaling.”

Looking ahead

As ETS Performance expands toward 80–100 locations, LiveFlow remains central to keeping finance accurate, efficient, and scalable. Lukas's focus has shifted from juggling spreadsheets to driving growth, confident that his finance engine won’t slow the company down.
