KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2013 Feb. 6, 2024 \u2013 <\/strong>H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) today announced that Chief Financial Officer Tony Bowen has decided to retire. He is committed to a smooth transition and will remain at the company into September of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTony has been a tremendous partner during our transformation and instrumental in guiding the company to the strong financial position we are in today,\u201d said Jeff Jones, President and CEO of H&R Block. \u201cHis contributions during his 20-year tenure will have a lasting impact on the company for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As CFO, Bowen has made meaningful contributions to the company, including the rollout of upfront, transparent pricing, strong financial management leading to material earnings growth, and strategic capital allocation to shareholders. Under his leadership, the company has returned more than $3.8 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTony has been an outstanding member of the H&R Block team for many years. From his early days in treasury to his time leading the DIY tax business and ultimately as CFO, he has played a major role in bringing the company to the position of strength we enjoy today,\u201d said Robert Gerard, Chairman of the Board, H&R Block. \u201cOn behalf of the board and our shareholders, I want to thank him for his service to the company, our associates and clients, and the communities we serve across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bowen has served as Chief Financial Officer since May of 2016. He began his career with H&R Block in 2004 as Senior Treasury Analyst and held various executive roles, including Vice President of Finance, General Manager of DIY tax software, and Associate Vice President of Corporate Development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy time at Block has been an incredible experience and I\u2019m grateful for all I\u2019ve learned, and the opportunities I\u2019ve been given. It\u2019s been an honor to be a part of this transformation journey, and I\u2019m confident H&R Block will continue this path of success,\u201d said Bowen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will begin an external search for Bowen\u2019s replacement. For more information about H&R Block, visit HRBlock.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
