CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“I have been a client of Figurit for nearly 15 years. I was first introduced to Michael Lansdell when incorporating my dental practice and he and his team have looked after me through this entire period with the utmost professionalism. Michael is obviously excellent at what he does. As well as consistent service, Michael and his team, Louis, Chloe, Katie and the others add a human element and almost family-like support. They are not only there during the good times. During the global recession during 2008-2011 and the recent COVID-19 global lockdown, they have provided reassuring and diligent support at a time when it might have been easy to panic. I am indebted to them for their pro-active advice and generosity of time and rapid personal support as if I were their only client. I would wholeheartedly recommend Figurit to any practice owners who require a dedicated dental accounting team to look after their best interests, and am very grateful to them for their advice and guidance over the years”
