Stephen has been equally professional and knowledgable in his field of expertise. He was always contactable and ensured we were kept up to date with any updates on our relations. I would highly recommend Stephen and his team for any accountancy advice or guidance. Thanks again Stephen for all your help.

Stephen Ward who charges 200 per hour has been director to 29 companies, Callan financial group, Callan accountancy and tax advisors limited (dissolved via voluntary strike off 08/2013 ), Callan accountancy Glasgow(dissolved and liquidated 10/2015) Callan group (liquidated 03/2021) and many more. They keep changing names but under same management. Callan financial group website looks genuine in one way until you deal with them. Stephen Ward is not regulated by any financial institutions or the team you deal with through phone calls or emails.
They take more than 48 hours to email back if you are lucky enough. Making phone calls you won't get the right information as they will give excuses how busy they have been and will get back to you. They use apps which are downloaded from play store. Dext app is free for 14-day trial and intuit QuickBooks is also available for download for less than 20. If you ask for refund, they will say they have finished all the work in reality nothing done.

I cannot recommend Brendan Kelly enough. He is by far the most experienced accountant I have used and I have no hesitation in recommending him. Brendan used to work for HMRC and I believe this experience gives him an edge over other accountants. Brendan is highly experienced in all matters of tax both for businesses of all sizes and Private Client Tax matters.

I was new to the self employed/Ltd company world and for the past 3 years Callan have been able to assist in filing tax returns easily as well explaining my many questions when trying to get my head around things. They are always very quick to respond to emails and phone calls. I would highly recommend this company.

I approached Callan for advice on my annual self-assessment tax return. Brendan Kelly was extremely helpful and with his expertise and professional support really put my mind to rest! I am grateful to Brendan and Callan for their advice - both over the phone and via e-mail - and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a first class service!

Callan Accountancy set-up my business account, handled all communication with Company House, compiled and calculated all returns for HMRC including VAT and Corporation tax in a timely manner. They were for myself, quite personal as there were professionals from each department who dealt with me. They were always very efficient and I would have no problem at all in recommending them to future customers.

I would recommend Callan Accountancy without hesitation. The staff are helpful, efficient and always there with an answer to any questions I have. Everything is done in plenty of time and they always give me plenty of notice of things like VAT return dates (and a few reminders when I'm late supplying the info.). I feel confident that I'm in good hands. The rates are very fair too and less than a couple of friends were paying their accountants so I can't complain at all. A very good company I would say.

After being recommended to use Callan Accountancy over 15 years ago, I can honestly say it has been the best decision I have made. He helped me through the first years of business, getting my accounts organised and showed me that it is not as daunting as I previously presumed (which as a new business man helped relieve a large amount of stress). As well as making my first years of business easier, Mr Ward and his company have helped me when my business expanded and even with the changes to date as my company keeps growing.
I do not live near the business (over 180 miles away) so deal with the company over the phone or via email frequently, and have always found the staff friendly and extremely helpful. Mr Ward himself has always been polite, efficient and makes doing my accounts so simple and stress free. If you are looking for someone who is professional, yet friendly, then I would highly recommend his firm Callan Accountancy.

Over the years I have tried and tested several accountancy firms. I will be totally honest when saying from the first day to presently I am been more than looked after from Stephen, Stephanie and all the staff. Sharp book keeping and paperwork was never my best asset - however through Stephen I have managed to get my act together and as a result am seeing the benefits - even allowing my wife some more money for shop keeping, i.E Handbag shopping!I

We have been with the company for a few years now and the work load was getting too much for me to run my business and take care of the paperwork. I met with the team and they took over the vat, payroll and accounts and I have not looked back. Now I spend the time to grow my business rather than spending too much time on this.Thanks for your continued support.

Callan Accounts have looked after our payroll for the past couple of years and we have been delighted with the level of service. Nothing is ever a problem and they always get back to any questions I have very quickly. They offer a friendly, personal and professional service and we wouldn't go anywhere else.

Callan provide a wide range of services to my business, including preparing and filing annual accounts, Companies House documentation and tax self-assessment. Their advice and guidance are invaluable. Having all services within one company makes very efficient use of my time and money. Speaking of which, Callan's charges are extremely reasonable. I recommend them to anyone looking for financial peace of mind.
