"Highly Recommended"

i have been using this firm for a while now and I am very pleased with the work they do for me. I trust them, I like them and I find them so easy to talk to whenever I am having a difficulty with my returns. I think sometimes it can be a minor technical issue to do with IT literacy but a quick phone call and whoever answers in the office are consistently patient and extremely helpful. I will be using this company until I retire..

"Fantastic Accounting Firm"

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.

"Very happy"

I started my Electrical Contracting business in Feb 2015 and got in touch with Stephen around November of the same year. Being new to running a business can be a bit daunting especially everything related to HMRC, however Stephen clearly explained the tax side of things to me and the company as a whole have been great ever since. My first year's accounts were filed on time and the team at Callan always let me know what I need to do and when I need to do it. They also offer me advice when I need it and are a very helpful and professional company to have by your side. I have never had any issues with this company and will continue to use them quite happily.

"Leave it to the professionals."

4 years we have been with callan now and everything is effortless. I'm no good at this stuff so I leave it to the professionals and they get it done for me at an affordable price. A service I can't go without.

"Late Tax Returns"

Stay well clear of Callan Accountancy, to date I have had to pay HMRC in the region of £3500 for late tax returns. I am a Limited company with only myself and my wife as employee's and they cant even manage that

"NIGHTMARE. WORST SERVICE EVER."

My brief history with Callan, all of which can be evidenced. First couple of years, fine. Then asked by Stephen to post positive reviews to counteract negative feedback by others. Found out I was being charged for a service I wasn't receiving. Received aggressive emails when I queried this. Suddenly was forced to pay up front because I was "receiving a service throughout the year". Requested advice on several occasions. No reply. No acknowledgement. No advice. Big phone bill due to repeated calls to HMRC to get advice I was paying Callan to give. Sent info for company return 2015-16 in May 2016. Had discussions with Callan in June to refine detail. Contacted Callan many times throughout December 2016 expressing concern about not having received accounts for filing. No acknowledgement. No response. No accounts. Received letters from Companies House and HMRC telling me my accounts are almost due and if not filed on time will result in a penalty fine plus interest. Contacted Callan many times in early January. No acknowledgement. No response. No accounts. Finally received a response on January 9th, stating the matter would take a short time to look into and I would receive clarification that week. One day before the deadline, Stephen provides the information and tells me it was done in September. The short time he said it would take to ideal with this turned out to be 21 days. To look up a file. The take away message is: STEER CLEAR OF CALLAN ACCOUNTING. FURTHER TO STEPHEN WARD'S RESPONSE TO MY POST I was told on several occasions prior to my posting last week that the member of staff to whom Mr Ward refers was no longer with the company. To claim he was sacked as a result of my posting is in direct conflict with statements made by several Callan staff and by Stephen Ward himself. After posting my positive review a while ago, the level of service dropped significantly. In the last 18 months many emails and phone calls went unanswered. The stress this caused, particularly over the past 6 weeks, has been immense. I always speak as I find, truthfully and openly, in the hope others will be able to make an informed decision.

"they provide an accurate, reliable and friendly service that I would recommend"

They make the accounts easy to manage, with friendly efficient service. Any queries are dealt with and communication is informative and productive. Useful monthly payment service, useful social media content, yes I would recommend them, they got me out of a hole when let down by a previous accountant and have maintained my trust over the years
