About Us
Callahan & Associates is a 100% employee-owned company in the finance industry headquartered in Washington, D.C. Callahan & Associates, founded in 1985 by Ed Callahan, Bucky Sebastian, and Chip Filson, with a common mission: to bolster the prosperity of credit unions. The company leverages credit union data, analytics, and the industry's top talents to identify market opportunities, address shared challenges, and find innovative solutions for credit unions to better serve their members. Their proprietary product, The Credit Union Directory, revolutionized the way credit union executives accessed industry data by providing it in a user-friendly format. For over 35 years, their team has remained at the forefront of credit union achievement.
In 2003, Callahan & Associates became employee-owned when they implemented an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). At Callahan & Associates, the heartbeat of the company is its people. Being an employee-owned company means being part of an entrepreneurial and dynamic company that encourages and rewards excellence. When the company is successful, so are employee owners. They are a team of dedicated leaders who are uniquely motivated to provide exceptional customer service and quality products. Their ownership culture empowers employee owners to work collaboratively to achieve that success and cultivate customer relationships.
