CBIZ REPORTS SECOND-QUARTER AND FIRST-HALF 2005 RESULTS

REVENUE GROWS 12.7%; SAME-UNIT REVENUE GROWS 7.9%

Cleveland, Ohio (July 26, 2005)—CBIZ (Century Business Services, Inc.) (NASDAQ: CBIZ) today announced second-quarter and first-half results for the period ended June 30, 2005.

CBIZ reported revenue of $139.6 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 12.7% over the $123.9 million recorded for the second quarter of 2004. Same-unit revenue for the second quarter increased by 7.9%, or $9.8 million. Revenue from newly acquired operations contributed $6.1 million to revenue growth in the second quarter of 2005, while divested operations resulted in a revenue decline of $0.2 million compared with the second quarter a year ago. CBIZ reported income from continuing operations of $4.5 million for the second quarter 2005, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with $3.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2004.

Through June 30, 2005, the Company had repurchased approximately 1.9 million shares, and through today, the Company has repurchased an additional 550,000 shares of common stock. The cost of this total purchase of approximately 2.4 million shares of common stock was approximately $9.9 million. At June 30, 2005, bank debt was $50.3 million compared with $67.5 million at the end of the first quarter of 2005.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, CBIZ reported revenue of $295.0 million, a 9.8%, or $26.3 million increase over the $268.7 million recorded for the comparable six-month period a year ago. Same-unit revenue increased by 5.0%, or $13.4 million, for the first six months of 2005 compared to the same period a year ago. Acquisitions contributed $13.6 million to revenue growth for the first six months of 2005, while divested operations accounted for a revenue decline of $0.7 million compared with the same period a year ago.

“We are very pleased with our second quarter results,” stated Steven L. Gerard, Chairman and CEO. “The revenue and gross margin contributions of each of our four business segments improved over last year and our strong cash flow enabled us to both reduce our debt and continue our share repurchase program. This represents the eighth consecutive quarter of same-unit revenue growth. The second quarter’s 7.9% growth rate was the highest increase we have reported over this two-year period. We remain on track to achieve our goal of 20-
