Canada’s leading tax preparation firm for over 60 years.
At H&R Block, we’ve helped millions of Canadians navigate their taxes with ease. Our commitment to our clients and communities has made us the trusted leader in tax preparation services nationwide.
How we became industry experts.
In the late 1940s, Henry and Richard Bloch founded the United Business Company, specializing in income tax return preparation for small businesses in Kansas City, Missouri. In addition, they offered individual income tax services to the executives of their client companies. As word spread, business grew.
With the brothers recognizing their tax preparation services as a sound business venture, they rebranded themselves as H&R Block Inc. in 1955, with Henry as President and Chief Executive Officer and Richard as Chairman of the Board. They expanded their business to Canada in 1964.
