A resilient, future-looking business in a traditional industry

Founded in 1955 in Kansas City, Missouri, H&R Block has grown from a seasonal tax-preparation business into a diversified financial services platform with customers across the United States, Canada, and Australia.

Its services are in such high demand that its 4,200 full-time employees swell to 70,900 during tax season.

The company’s long-standing brand and trusted network of tax experts give it a durable moat in an otherwise commoditised industry. 

Recent results underscore that resilience. While tax season still drives the lion’s share of revenue, digital products, small business services, and the company’s Wave financial platform have also become steady contributors.

Management continues to push tech-enabled growth, combining its brick-and-mortar footprint with a growing digital ecosystem that appeals to both individuals and small businesses.

Operationally, margins remain healthy thanks to disciplined cost control and consistent client retention.

With strong free cash flow generation and minimal long-term debt, the company has ample capacity to continue rewarding shareholders.

Be mindful of a seasonal concentration

The obvious seasonal concentration means earnings are heavily weighted toward tax season.

Any disruption, whether from IRS policy changes, economic slowdowns, or increased competition from digital-only platforms like TurboTax, could pressure short-term revenue.

Another thing to keep in mind before taking the plunge is that management’s tech push is promising, scaling Wave and other digital products takes time and sustained investment.
