H&R Block
By Stacy Saunders
In 1977, the doors of a new H&R Block franchise location opened to its first customers in White House. Owner Becky Carney was the manager back then and bought the business just a few years later. Today, the tax preparation business employs twenty-three people and is busy year round.

The firm’s primary role is tax preparation; however, it is far from a seasonal business. “October 15 is as big as April 15,” Carney noted. “You wouldn’t believe how many people don’t file by April 15.” All types of tax preparation can be completed through H&R Block. Each of the preparers is trained to handle a wide variety of both business and personal returns. Carney and her staff also keep busy by providing several other services including bookkeeping, accounting, TIN numbers, payroll and even free tax preparation classes. For a complete list of services, visit the company’s website at www.hrblock.com.

To facilitate a speedy visit, there are a few things tax filers can bring along to their appointments. Gathering records, knowing correct social security numbers, locating W-2s and having receipts listed and totaled ahead of time are all important. Once a filer sits down at any of the stations in H&R Block’s modern and spacious office, the visit becomes a truly personalized experience that is not limited by time or complexity. “The main thing is, we care,” Carney expressed. “We really do. We care about the individual. They are just not a number here.”

“H&R Block’s name brings them. Becky Carney and the staff is what keeps them coming back,” Carney beamed. And after thirty one years of serving the White House area, she plans to continue bringing customers back each year for the business’s superior level of service, training and experience.

H&R Block of White House is open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. weekdays and from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays with Sundays by appointment only from now until April 15.
