Our Company

H&R Block began with two brothers rolling up their sleeves and helping folks with their tax returns. Despite our tremendous growth, we've never lost sight of the key factors that led to our success, including superior customer service, a commitment to stand behind our work and a promise to always charge a fair price.

We believe in the power of partnership and the open exchange of ideas. After all, if one of our first clients hadn't suggested we advertise our tax services, we might not be where we are today. It's this kind of active listening and observing that enables us to continue evolving and providing clients with unbeatable service.

While we're proud of our humble heritage, our eye is on the future.

In August 2000, we unveiled a fresh, new logo to symbolize our transformation from a tax preparation company to a financial partner. From this new business strategy emerged an even more progressive and innovative corporate culture. In fact, it was this culture that earned H&R Block the 2001 Pride in Excellence Employer of the Year Award from Project Equality, a national equal employment opportunity organization and premier champion of workplace diversity. This award recognized our efforts to achieve equal employment opportunity and diversity, the establishment of our Service Center facility in Kansas City's Brush Creek redevelopment neighborhood and our commitment to equal employment.
