H&R Block taps Kingsley tax professional for advisor post<\/h2>\n

Tony Temple, franchise owner of the Kingsley H&R Block, was elected to the H&R Block Franchise Leadership Council (FLC), a representative group of small business owners from across the country who serve as liaisons between the more than 1,000 H&R Block franchisees and corporate leadership.<\/p>\n

This month, H&R Block franchisee Temple begins his term as FLC chair. He will foster constructive, open and two-way communications between the franchisee community and the management of H&R Block. He served last year as the FLC vice chair, his three-year term will include a year as past chair. FLC members must contribute to the growth and development of their business, employees and community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a robust Franchise Leadership Council that works with us on a year-round basis to review strategic options and business initiatives,\u201d said Bob Moretti, H&R Block vice president. \u201cH&R Block FLC members represent the highest level of franchisee leadership. I am honored to welcome Tony to his new role with the Franchise Leadership Council.\u201d<\/p>\n

Temple will travel to H&R Block\u2019s world headquarters, Kansas City, Missouri in May for the first quarterly on-site meeting. He is also slated to participate in a summer listening tour where he\u2019ll meet with fellow franchisees and share ideas that can grow business. He\u2019ll also meet with franchisees at the national convention this fall.<\/p>\n

In October 2017,  Temple won recognition<\/a> as a successful franchisee by H&R Block as a featured franchisee of the year. In addition to leading top-performing franchisees, he was recognized for a demonstrated commitment to H&R Block\u2019s core value to do the right thing. Temple and his staff of tax preparers filed more tax returns than any other H&R Block office in that tax season, making it the busiest H&R Block office<\/a> in the world for tax season 2017. His office used H&R Block Tax Pro Review<\/a>, an H&R Block product giving do-it-yourself clients the opportunity to have a tax professional review their tax return remotely before submitting it to the IRS, with no office visit required.<\/p>\n

Temple became a franchise owner in 2005 and currently employs 26 employees including tax professionals and client service professionals. Year round, his office provides tax preparation and audit support. Temple is a senior tax analyst and serves as school board president and as board treasurer for the Rock of Kingsley, a youth organization. He also matches his staff\u2019s fundraising efforts and last year donated an additional $5,000 to St. Baldrick\u2019s Foundation.<\/p>\n
