H&R BLOCK ADDS FINANCIAL ADVICE

H&R Block is widening its sphere of services, adding financial advice to its portfolio in a partnership with Fiduciary Financial Services.

The new set-up means the tax franchise chain will refer clients and participating franchisees and Fiduciary Financial Services will offer tailored financial planning solutions.

Clients will be able to access services online, by phone or if need be, in a face-to-face meeting.

Brodie Dixon, managing director at H&R Block Australia, said the new advice model is launching at an important time.

“Businesses and individuals are facing unprecedented challenges and financial uncertainty in a COVID-19-impacted market which is changing daily.

“We believe this is a game changer, not only for the financial advice industry, but for the clients of H&R Block who will gain access to affordable advice on: superannuation, insurance, lending, investments and retirement planning.”
