H&R Block is evolving from a seasonal tax preparation service into a broader financial services provider by leveraging AI to boost productivity and focus on complex filers and small businesses for steady revenue. While AI introduces risks to its Assisted segment, management aims to enhance tax professionals' roles rather than replace them, shifting toward higher-value clients.
