Tailored solutions rooted in evidence

We deliver clear, actionable insights that help professional services firms become more efficient, profitable and successful with confidence.

Beaton Benchmarks: the global standard for client feedback benchmarking

Beaton Benchmarks is the world’s largest and most comprehensive benchmarking survey for professional services firms, conducted annually for more than two decades.

Experts in client feedback

Beaton has spent more than two decades studying what clients really think – and how that matters to your bottom line. Our deep expertise in professional services feedback means we don’t just collect data; we interpret it to uncover what drives loyalty, satisfaction, and growth.

Through Beaton Benchmarks, our industry-wide study, and Beaton Debrief, which captures real-time client feedback, we help firms see how they’re performing and where to improve. With tailored research and clear insights, we give leaders the evidence they need to strengthen relationships and build lasting trust.

Tailored research for insightful client feedback

At Beaton we don’t produce cookie-cutter surveys. We recognise that every organisation is different, and a one-size-fits-all approach won’t always deliver the actionable insights you need. That’s why our team works closely with you to understand your organisation and the nuances of your client relationships.

Whether it’s our customised Debrief client feedback surveys or other bespoke research, we will craft surveys to support your specific needs and to obtain the information that’s most relevant to your goals. This is how we ensure you receive clear, actionable insights that can shape your strategic decisions.

Beaton isn’t just about collecting data: we’re about making sense of it. Our team of analysts and business consultants are experts in professional services, bringing 75+ combined years of experience and sector-specific knowledge to every project. We delve deep into your feedback data, extracting the insights that reveal not just what your clients are saying, but why it matters for your business. With Beaton, you get more than just numbers; you get a roadmap for success.

Drive organisational success through evidence

Feedback is only as valuable as the actions it informs. At Beaton we help you translate client feedback into meaningful advice, enabling you to make informed decisions that drive your business forward. From enhancing service delivery, improving client retention and identifying growth opportunities, our insights empower your organisation to make data-driven strategies that foster growth and to take actions that have a real impact on your bottom line.
