Until 2015 the company’s operations were divided into three business units: Retail tax services, Digital tax services, and H&R Block Bank, which provided low-cost services to its low- to moderate-income customers. But in September 2015, H&R Block Bank was sold to BofI Holding Inc.

As of April 2018, H&R Block had a market capitalisation of around $5.30 billion.

What is the modern history of H&R Block?

The business was founded in 1955 by brothers Henry W. Bloch and Richard Bloch, and went public in 1962. A high-profile television advertising campaign in the early 1970s helped the company to become one of the most widely recognised brands in the United States. By 1986 it was handling over 10 million tax returns a year. In the 1990s H&R Block expanded into financial services such as banking and mortgages, and for a while a unit of the company operated as a full-service securities broker-dealer.

The company said the improvement was largely due to its cost reduction efforts, which also made possible some investment in key client-driving initiatives.
