How H&R Block is organized

All continuing operations sit in a single reported segment in fiscal 2026. Small business work runs under the Block Advisors and Wave brands. Spruce is the mobile banking app. On October 13, 2026, the careers site sorted corporate openings into nine job families: Customer Service & Support, Retail Leadership & Operations, Marketing, Small Business Services, Legal & Government Relations, Product & Design, People & Culture, Finance and Technology. Seasonal hiring covers four roles: Tax Professionals, Team Leaders, Receptionists and Bookkeepers. Those seasonal staff work in both retail and franchise offices.

Workforce and hiring patterns

Seasonal hiring sets the size of the workforce. The peak during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, seasonal associates included, was about 73,400. That is about 16 times the 4,600 regular full-time associates on staff at June 30, 2026. On August 5, 2026, the company started a restructuring to move to a year-round office leadership model and streamline field support. About 200 positions across the organization are being eliminated, with the cuts planned to finish by September 30, 2026. The estimated pre-tax charge is $8.3 million. The subsidiary's LCA count has climbed each year, with 33 in calendar 2023, 39 in 2024 and 44 in 2025. Corporate roles are described on the careers site as remote and hybrid.
