Mark Skimming from Dentistry On The Square in Glasgow[/caption]Mark Skimming, principal dentist of Dentistry on the Square in Glasgow, was promised a doubling of his net profit every three years as a result of working with Spot On Business planning. In his words, ‘Andy has over delivered.’Mark continues, ‘I have been working with Andy McDougall and the team at Spot On Business Planning for around three years now. So many accountants and dental business coaches merely scratch the surface but their approach is totally different.’Mark was dubious of the promise to double his net profit but once the business planning process got underway, and Mark got an insight into his business and how his costs behaved, he could see how the promise was achievable.The Spot On Business Planning process is very efficient.
