The Beacon Advisors Advantage

  • We know our way around C-suites and board rooms—we have worked closely with top management and with boards of directors.
  • Our counsel is channel-neutral. The only axe we have to grind is an outcome that is aligned with your objectives.
  • Our partners are themselves former C-suite executives who offer their counsel at affordable rates.
  • Beacon clients are served only by Beacon partners—for the entire engagement. No hand offs to junior associates.
