CBIZ REPORTS FIRST-QUARTER 2006 RESULTS

REVENUE GROWS 10%; NET INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS UP 30%

Cleveland, Ohio (April 26, 2006)—CBIZ, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBIZ) today announced first-quarter results for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

CBIZ reported revenue of $171.1 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of 10.3% over the $155.2 million reported for the first quarter of 2005. Same-unit revenue increased by 7.9%, or by $12.2 million. Revenue from newly acquired operations contributed $3.7 million, or 2.4% to revenue growth. CBIZ posted income from continuing operations for the quarter of $13.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared with $10.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2005.

During the first quarter CBIZ completed the acquisition of a medical billing company located in Flint, Michigan and a property and casualty insurance broker in San Jose, California. In April, the company announced the acquisition of a property and casualty insurance broker in St. Joseph, Missouri.

At March 31, 2006, bank debt stood at $61.2 million compared with $67.5 million at the end of the first quarter of 2005. In January 2006, the company adopted FAS 123(R) related to accounting for stock compensation expense, and in the first quarter, the company recorded $564,000 of expense related to stock compensation.

In the first quarter of 2006, the Company realigned its operations into four client-centric business groups, Financial Services, Employee Services, National Practices, and Medical Management Professionals. As a result, the business segment data reported as of March 31, 2006 reflects this client-centric approach to service delivery.

“We are pleased to be able to continue the positive momentum in our operating and financial results for the first quarter of 2006. All of our business segments are performing well, our cross-serving results are on track, and the acquisitions we made in January have performed well in the first quarter. We are pleased to
