FIRM STRUCTURE:

Summers, Spencer & Callison, CPAs, Chartered serves over 2,000 clients in the insurance, banking, construction, non-profit, service and manufacturing industries.

In 1984, Gary Summers purchased an interest in a Topeka based Certified Public Accounting firm that was subsequently reorganized into two separate firms.  SS&C Business & Tax Services, Inc. is a tax and accounting services firm, which is over 50% employee owned through an ESOP (employee stock ownership plan).  Summers, Spencer & Callison, CPAs, Chartered is a certified public accounting firm.  We typically refer to both firms as “SS&C”.

The firm’s shareholders are: Gary R. Summers, CPA, CVA; Michael H. Callison, CPA; Brenda K. Flanagan, CPA; Stuart Bach, CPA; and Skyler W. Fairchild, CPA. The firm has four offices, 8655 College Blvd., Overland Park, Kansas, 5825 SW 29th, Topeka, Kansas, 4910 Corporate Centre Drive, Lawrence, Kansas and 3675 74th, Meriden, Kansas.

The shareholders of SS&C have structured the firms to best provide quality accounting and attestation services to their clients at a reasonable cost as well as keeping those services personalized and timely. SS&C’s size provides an environment where creative, people-oriented professionals can practice accounting without the bureaucratic constraints inherent in a very large firm.

The steady growth SS&C has enjoyed over the years indicates this approach has been successful. Summers, Spencer & Callison, CPAs, Chartered avails itself of the necessary audit staff for each engagement pursuant to an administrative services agreement with SS&C Business & Tax Services, Inc., which employs a full complement of auditing, tax and consulting services personnel.

Our employees are our most important resource.  To serve our clients well, we have concern for our own people in their professional and personal development.  The firm generates a working environment that motivates everyone to work at their fullest capacity and to work together toward excellence in client service.
