What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Glasgow-based Callan Accountancy draws consistent praise for the depth of its tax knowledge, with clients repeatedly highlighting personal and corporate tax work. Several customers describe clear, step-by-step explanations of HMRC matters, particularly during the early years of trading, and note that queries are answered promptly by phone or email. Named staff members feature often in feedback: Stephen Ward is credited with guiding new businesses through their first accounts and with resolving urgent issues such as self assessment deadlines and a frozen bank account, while Divyesh, Kirit, Magda, Brendan and Yash are each singled out for their responsiveness and expertise.

A recurring theme is the handling of self assessments quickly and effectively, alongside accounts preparation and international trust matters referred internally to specialists. Clients also value being kept informed about what is needed and when, and the sense of a long-term working relationship built over five years and more. Feedback frequently notes that correspondence is plain and jargon-free, with advice emailed in simple form after initial conversations. Businesses ranging from electrical contracting to general trading companies commend the team for making tax obligations less daunting, filing accounts on time and providing reliable guidance as companies grow.

We have been using the team for the last 5 years and we can’t fault them, very helpful and thorough step by step, all explained very well. Would definitely recommend to anybody looking for an accountant in the area.

Divyesh and Kirit have been absolutely fantastic, I have now been running for over a year and there have been teething problems. But Divyesh has ironed a lot of that out now and I think we are getting into our groove. For new business a lot of what people want is some early guidance. Some cheat sheet, step guidance documents could make things a lot smoother for new business.

In circa 4 years - I have never met anyone personally from Callan/Stephen Ward. However the work from Magda & Kirit has been excellent from a personal & corporate tax perspective.

I approached Callan Financial Group in need of support with my self-assessment and some queries I had on expenses etc. Stephen was more than helpful, and very patient throughout the whole process. He took time to really explain how tax worked and was really helpful from start to finish. I won’t hesitate to return to them in the future!
