Exhibit (a)(5)(viii) PRESS RELEASE [Century Business Services, Inc. Logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: LORI NOVICKIS Century Business Services, Inc. Cleveland, Ohio (216) 447-9000 CBIZ ANNOUNCES FINAL RESULTS OF ITS TENDER OFFER Cleveland, Ohio (April 08, 2004)--CBIZ (Century Business Services, Inc.) (NASDAQ: CBIZ) today announced the final results of its tender offer, which expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 1, 2004. CBIZ will purchase 7.5 million shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $5.00 per share, or a total cost of approximately $37.5 million. Based on the final count by Computershare Investor Services, LLC, the depositary for the offer, 15,434,529 shares of common stock, which includes 13,925 shares tendered through guaranteed delivery procedures, were properly tendered and not withdrawn. Since the offer was oversubscribed, the number of shares CBIZ will purchase from each tendering shareholder (other than odd-lot holders) will be prorated. Based upon the final count, the proration factor will be 48.88%. The determination of the proration factor was based on proper delivery of all shares tendered and not properly withdrawn (including shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures) and the impact of odd-lot and conditional tenders. Payment for shares validly tendered and accepted for purchase, and the return of all other shares tendered but not accepted for payment, will be made promptly by Computershare Investor Services, LLC.
