Franchisee Testimonials
Our franchisees tell us the financial reward and satisfaction of signing on with the tax
industry's leading brand - plus the independence that comes with becoming an H&R Block
franchisee - are some key benefits of their decision to join our family. See what current H&R
Block franchisees are saying.
Charles Parrish (Chillicothe, MO)
"I have a brokerage background and when I was pursuing buying a franchise, H&R Block's set-up
of financial services and tax services just seemed a perfect fit for what I was looking for. A lot
of clients we work with are coming in and exposing their financial lives; this might be their only
opportunity to get sound tax and financial advice at one place and at one time thus adding more
value to that client's experience. In addition, the name recognition is absolutely huge. By
building on the tax platform, it just naturally builds on the financial services. I think it's a
fantastic opportunity."
Randy Lawshe (Mandeville, LA)
"I really think H&R Block has offered us the best bang for the buck. They've given us
extremely good training, and I think they are outstanding in the field of franchising. They're
helping us build the equity in our business and have given us great marketing support. They
provide better training and spend more money on national advertising than their competitors.
H&R Block also continues to add new services such as financial advice and mortgage
opportunities that create additional value for each client. All an all, they're making it a
better investment for us and helping our bottom line."
Tony Zabaneh (Quincy, IL)
"I have been an H&R Block franchisee for 16 years and worked for the company six tax seasons
prior to purchasing my first franchise. Now, we operate 18 locations in 10 cities in the
geographic area that expands about 100 miles around Quincy. My partnership with H&R Block has
been an excellent experience, and I value my relationship with the company tremendously. It would
be next to impossible for me to operate a successful franchise without the benefits of being
under the H&R Block umbrella. In addition, the value of our brand continues to grow and become
even stronger as clients recognize that H&R Block really is a company that's looking out for
their best interests."
Tony Chancelor (Quitman, MS)
"My wife and I saw this as a good move for us at our age. H&R Block is a great company and a
national brand. I mean, why would we go with a company that was second rate when we could go
first chair? One of the great things about the company is that you are encouraged to have
relationships with your peers and fellow franchisees. You're able to talk to people you trust to
help answer your questions and support you as a new franchisee. It's really a family-type
atmosphere and you're never stuck out there on your own."
