The BRW Client Choice Awards

Applications are now open for the 2009 BRW Client Choice Awards

The BRW Client Choice Awards are the most prestigious awards for professional service firms in Australia. This is because they are determined by the views of people who matter most: clients.

The Awards are open to all professional service firms who pride themselves on client service and are looking for a way to differentiate from competitors. Now in its fourth year, the Awards have offered winners the kind of publicity most firms only dream of.

Background to the Awards

Beaton Consulting independently conducts the research that informs the Awards, as part of the Annual Business and Professions Study (ABPS). The ABPS was designed by Beaton Consulting to provide knowledge-based organisations with access to quantitative data on how they are performing, benchmarked against others.

The BRW Client Choice Awards are a way of recognising those professional service firms who are found in this study to excel. The 2008 Awards were presented to winners and finalists at a special dinner held in Sydney on 12 March 2008. In total 30 awards were presented to the best professional service firms across a range of different categories.
