Without context, I would say that that "final say" means you make the final decision (usually after some discussion)
"Call the shot" means you decide (with or without the input from others).
Bunmyaku ga nakereba,`final say' to wa saishū-tekina kettei o kudasu koto o imi shimasu (tsūjō wa hanashiai no nochi de).
`Call the shot' to wa, anata ga kettei suru koto o imi shimasu (hokanohito kara no iken no umu ni kakawarazu)
