About us

Beaton Research & Consulting is a benchmarking, analytics and high-end market research house serving organisations that provide professional and financial services in the Asia-Pacific region. Building on our strategy consulting origins, we have developed and refined a series of unique datasets in B2B services that rival any in the world.

George and Margaret Beaton founded Beaton Associates International in 1987 to provide business strategy and related advice to a range of clients, including professional service firms. As the firm matured, we recognised the need for a consulting service that was more evidence-based. This led us to develop Beaton Benchmarks, the world's largest independent studies of how the services and brands of professional service firms are purchased and perceived by their clients.

In 2009, the firm became Beaton Research & Consulting, and merged with WA Taylor & Associates, taking over the Taylor studies on financial services intermediaries. These large-scale syndicated studies add to the exceptional nature of our datasets.

Today, Beaton Research & Consulting uniquely provides strategic advice through our high-end research solutions to B2B services organisations, drawing on our significant c-suite consulting heritage.
