  2013 ANNUAL REPORT

CBIZ, INC.

DEAR FELLOW 
SHAREHOLDERS,

It is my pleasure to report that 
we posted very strong results for 
2013. Our business continued to 
gain strength and momentum 
throughout the year, in large 
part due to the hard work and 
dedication of our 4,100 associates 
across the nation. Serving our 
clients’ financial and employee 
needs takes strong commitment, 
persistent effort and a sincere 
desire to provide the very 
best solutions. Our success in 
this endeavor is evidenced by 
continued high retention rates of 
our more than 90,000 clients.

For some time, we described our 
former Medical Management 
Professionals (“MMP”) operations 
as a non-core business. In August 
2013, we divested our MMP 
operations and it’s important to 
note that all financials in this report 
have been adjusted to reflect this 
transaction. Proceeds from this 
sale were used to repurchase 3.85 
million shares of our common stock 
and pay down our debt. Going 
forward, this will provide us greater 
flexibility for additional investment 
in our business, including future 
acquisitions. 

2013 RESULTS

For the year ended December 
31, 2013, we achieved revenue 
growth of 10.5% over 2012. This 
increase was due to continued 
growth in same-unit revenue, as 
well as strong contributions from 
our newly acquired operations. 

During 2013, we increased 
earnings by 24.4% to $0.51 per 
diluted share, compared with 
normalized earnings of $0.41 
per diluted share for 2012. For 

comparative purposes the $0.46 
per share reported for 2012 
has been adjusted for the non-
recurring after-tax gain of $0.03 
per diluted share on the sale of 
our former Wealth Management 
business and the $0.02 per 
diluted share impact of favorable 
non-recurring legal settlements. 
Cash earnings per share, a non-
GAAP measure which includes 
certain non-cash charges and 
credits to income from continuing 
operations, increased by 20.0% 
in 2013 over the prior year. Cash 
flow continued to be strong, and 
adjusted EBITDA increased by 
18.3% over 2012.

The strength and 
momentum of our  
business is evidenced by 
the fact that, since 2009,  
we have achieved 21% 
growth in revenue, 32% 
growth in pre-tax earnings, 
59% growth in earnings per 
share, and 18% growth in 
cross-serving revenue.

Our cross-serving efforts 
contributed $25.5 million to total 
revenue during 2013. Cross-
serving, our strategy of identifying 
opportunities to provide 
additional products and services 
to existing clients, continues to 
be an important contributor to 
our organic growth and a source 
of incremental revenue.

During 2013, we successfully 
integrated nine acquisitions 
made in 2012 and completed 
two additional acquisitions. We 
also completed three acquisitions 
in early 2014. In 2013, we used 

$20.7 million to fund acquisition-
related payments, and $25.7 
million to repurchase shares of 
our common stock at an average 
price of $6.65 per share. Even 
after these investments, we 
ended the year with only $48.5 
million outstanding on our $275 
million unsecured credit facility. 

BUSINESS SEGMENT 
HIGHLIGHTS

The growth in our Financial 
Services segment was led 
primarily by our national 
government health care consulting 
business. Organic growth within 
Financial Services has improved 
year-over-year since 2009, and we 
believe our investments in building 
our business development team 
in select markets will enhance 
our future revenue opportunities. 
The 2013 acquisition of Knight 
Field Fabry further expanded our 
Denver, Colorado, operations. 
In early 2014, we acquired Lewis, 
Birch & Ricardo which expanded 
our technical expertise in our 
existing Tampa, Florida, market 
and as a result of this acquisition, 
CBIZ is now one of the largest 
accounting services providers in 
that market.

In our Employee Services 
segment, we recorded organic 
growth in our property and 
casualty insurance, retirement 
plan advisory, HR consulting and 
payroll services; and we continued 
to see an improving trend in 
our employee benefits business 
during the year. As a result of our 
consultative approach to helping 
companies with issues related to 
health care reform, we gained 
new business in 2013 that we 
expect to contribute to stronger 
growth in 2014.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT

  CBIZ, INC.

In 2013, we acquired Associated 
Insurance Agents, a property 
and casualty firm located in 
Minneapolis, Minnesota. The 
early 2014 acquisitions of 
Clearview National Partners in 
Waltham, Massachusetts, and 
Centric Insurance Agency in  
New Providence, New Jersey, are 
expected to enhance both our 
employee benefit and property 
and casualty operations in 2014. 
We will continue to evaluate 
potential future acquisition 
opportunities that would 
complement our current core 
financial and employee services.

MARKETING AND 
BRANDING

We also saw our social media 
strategy continue to take hold 
during the past year.  By further 
expanding our presence on 
business-friendly social outlets 
such as LinkedIn, Twitter, 
YouTube and Slideshare, we have 
seen our online influence grow 
to exceed the majority of our 
key competitors. These efforts 
helped to generate significant, 
measurable new revenue across 
all of our major practice lines.

CULTURE AND 
COMMUNITY 
INVOLVEMENT 

As a professional services 
company, we know our associates 
are our most valuable asset. 
As such, we strive to make 
CBIZ a great place to work 
by maintaining a professional 
and supportive culture while 
providing meaningful career 
opportunities. Throughout the 
year, many of our offices were 
recognized as top workplaces in 
their local markets. (See side bar). 

Our CBIZ Women’s Advantage 
(CWA) Program continues 
to provide professional 
development opportunities 
for our women associates and 
is also a regular contributor to 
our revenue growth. CWA has 
become integrated into many 
aspects of our business and is 
now partnering with external 
organizations and vendors to 
promote the business case for 
gender diversity.

The communities where we work 
and live continue to benefit 
from CWA’s national support of 
Dress for Success (DFS). In 2013, 
through the efforts of many of 
our associates, CBIZ raised nearly 
$55,000 and donated thousands 
of articles of clothing and 
accessories to local DFS affiliates. 

Our company-wide food drive 
marked its fifth successful year in 
2013 with nearly 650,000 pounds 
of food donated to local food 
banks in our markets across 
the country. This was a great 
opportunity for our associates to 
come together as one national 
company while giving back to 
their local communities.

OUTLOOK FOR 2014

In 2014, we expect to see 
continued strength and 
momentum with improvement in 
same-unit revenue growth rates, 
as well as 5% to 7% growth in 
total revenue. We also expect 
diluted earnings per share from 
continuing operations to grow by 
15% to 18%, assuming a constant 
share count compared with 2013. 
We expect cash flow to continue 
to be positive, and we project 
adjusted EBITDA to increase by 
8% to 12% over the $75.6 million 
reported for 2013.

Forward-Looking Statements 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 (“the Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Annual 
Report on Form 10-K including, without limitation, "Business" and "Management's Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" regarding CBIZ's financial position, business 
strategy and plans and objectives for future performance are forward-looking statements. You can identify 
these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking 
statements are commonly identified by the use of such terms and phrases as "intends," "believes," 
"estimates," "expects," "projects," "anticipates," "foreseeable future," "seeks," and words or phrases of 
similar import in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, 
these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and 
anticipated services, sales efforts, expenses, and financial results. From time to time, the Company may 
also provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials the Company releases to the 
public. Any or all of the Company’s forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in 
any other public statements that the Company makes, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that 
could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Such forward-looking statements can 
be affected by inaccurate assumptions the Company might make or by known or unknown risks and 
uncertainties. Many factors mentioned in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” will be important in determining future 
results. Should one or more of these risks or assumptions materialize, or should the underlying 
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or 
projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: CBIZ's ability to adequately manage 
its growth; CBIZ’s dependence on the services of its CEO and other key employees; competitive pricing 
pressures; general business and economic conditions; changes in governmental regulation and tax laws 
affecting CBIZ’s operations; reversal or decline in the current trend of outsourcing business services; 
revenue seasonality or fluctuations in and collectability of receivables; liability for errors and omissions of 
the Company’s businesses; regulatory investigations and future regulatory activity (including without 
limitation inquiries into compensation arrangements within the insurance brokerage industry); and 
reliance on information processing systems and availability of software licenses. Consequently, no 
forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. The Company’s actual future results may vary materially, 
and CBIZ undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result 
of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further 
disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in the quarterly, periodic and annual reports the 
Company files with the SEC. Also note that the Company provides cautionary discussion of risks, 
uncertainties and possibly inaccurate assumptions relevant to its businesses as discussed in Item 1. 
These are factors that the Company thinks could cause its actual results to differ materially from expected 
and historical results. Other factors besides those described here could also adversely affect operating or 
financial performance. 

The following text is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed information and consolidated 
financial statements (including the notes thereto) appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 
10-K. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Annual Report to "we", "our", “us”, "CBIZ", 
or the "Company" shall mean CBIZ, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All 
references to years, unless otherwise noted, refer to CBIZ’s fiscal year which ends on December 31.

Item 1.  Business. 

Overview and History 

PART I 

CBIZ provides professional business services, products and solutions that help its clients grow and 
succeed by better managing their finances and employees. These services are provided to businesses of 
various sizes, as well as individuals, governmental entities and not-for-profit enterprises throughout the 
United States and parts of Canada. CBIZ delivers its integrated services through the following three 
practice groups:  

  Financial Services 
  Employee Services 
  National Practices 

On August 30, 2013, CBIZ, through its subsidiary CBIZ Operations, Inc., an Ohio Corporation, completed 
the sale of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each of CBIZ Medical Management 
Professionals, Inc., an Ohio corporation, and CBIZ Medical Management, Inc., a North Carolina 
corporation, and substantially all of the stock of their subsidiary companies, collectively consisting of all of 
CBIZ’s Medical Management Professionals ongoing operations and business (“MMP”) to Zotec Partners, 
LLC, an Indiana limited liability company, for a purchase price of $201.6 million, subject to final working 
capital adjustments. Prior to the completion of this transaction, MMP was considered one of CBIZ’s 
practice groups. 

CBIZ believes that its diverse and integrated service offerings result in advantages for both the client and 
for CBIZ. By providing custom solutions that help clients manage their finances and employees, CBIZ 
enables its clients to focus their resources on their own core business and operational competencies. 
Additionally, working with one provider for several solutions enables CBIZ’s clients to utilize their 
resources more efficiently by eliminating the need to coordinate with multiple service providers. The ability 
to combine several services and offer them through one trusted provider distinguishes CBIZ from other 
service providers. 

CBIZ has been operating as a professional services business since 1996, and the Company built its 
professional services business through acquiring accounting and financial service providers, benefits and 
employee services firms, property and casualty brokerage firms, payroll service providers, and valuation 
and other service firms throughout the United States. CBIZ is listed on the New York Stock Exchange 
(“NYSE”) under the symbol “CBZ”. 

Business Strategy 

CBIZ strives to maximize shareholder value and believes this is accomplished through growth in revenue 
and earnings per share, as well as the strategic allocation and deployment of free cash-flow and capital 
resources. 

Revenue 

CBIZ believes revenue growth will be achieved through internal organic growth, cross-serving additional 
services to its existing clients, and targeted acquisitions. Each of these components is critical to the long-
term growth strategy, and CBIZ expects each component to contribute to long-term revenue growth. 

  CBIZ believes it can capitalize on organic growth opportunities by offering a higher level of 

national resources than traditional local professional service firms, but delivering these services 
locally with a higher level of personal service than is expected from traditional national firms. 
CBIZ is also able to leverage technology to create efficiencies and to link together aligned 
services such as benefits, payroll and human resource services.

  Cross-serving provides CBIZ with the opportunity to offer and deliver multiple services to existing 

clients. Cross-serving opportunities are identified by Company employees as they provide 
services to their existing clients. Being a trusted advisor to its clients provides CBIZ with the 
opportunity to identify the clients’ needs, while the diverse and integrated services offered by 
CBIZ allow the Company to provide solutions to satisfy these needs. 

  CBIZ’s acquisition strategy is to selectively acquire businesses that expand the Company’s 
market position and strengthen its existing service offerings. Strategic businesses that CBIZ 
seeks to acquire generally have strong and energetic leadership, a positive local market 
reputation, commitment to client service, the potential for cross-serving additional CBIZ services 
to their clients, an ability to integrate quickly with existing CBIZ operations and are accretive to 
earnings. 

Earnings Per Share 

CBIZ expects to grow earnings per share by achieving operating leverage. CBIZ believes it can achieve 
operating leverage by improving productivity while growing revenue. Operating leverage opportunities 
include managing general and administrative infrastructure costs and other costs that are fixed or may 
increase at rates slower than revenue growth. 

Cash Flows and Capital Resources 

CBIZ’s strategy is to utilize capital resources for strategic initiatives that will optimize shareholder return. 
The highest priority for the utilization of capital is focused on strategic acquisitions. CBIZ also believes 
that repurchasing shares of its common stock is a use of cash that provides stockholder value. 
Accordingly, CBIZ has historically adopted a repurchase plan annually and continually evaluates share 
repurchase opportunities. CBIZ may repurchase shares of its common stock when, after assessing capital 
needed to fund acquisitions and seasonal working capital needs, capital resources are available and such 
repurchases are accretive to stockholders.

A discussion of CBIZ’s practice groups and certain external relationships and regulatory factors that 
currently impact those practice groups are provided below. See Note 22 of the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements for further discussion of CBIZ’s practice groups. 

Financial Services 

The Financial Services practice group is divided into a Financial Services division, which represents the 
various accounting units spread geographically throughout the United States that provide core accounting 
services regionally, and a National Services division consisting of those units that provide their specialty 
services nationwide. Core accounting services consist mainly of accounting and tax compliance and 
consulting, as well as litigation support, while National Services consist primarily of valuation services, 
real estate consulting, internal audit outsourcing and federal and state governmental healthcare 
compliance. Both the Financial Services and National Services divisions report to the President of 
Financial Services. The President of Financial Services reports to CBIZ’s President and Chief Operating 
Officer.   

Restrictions imposed by independence requirements and state accountancy laws and regulations 
preclude CBIZ from rendering audit and attest services (other than internal audit services). As such, CBIZ 
and its subsidiaries maintain joint-referral relationships and administrative service agreements (“ASAs”) 
with independent licensed Certified Public Accounting (“CPA”) firms under which audit and attest services 
may be provided to CBIZ's clients by such CPA firms. These firms are owned by licensed CPAs, a vast 
majority of whom are also employed by CBIZ’s subsidiaries. Under these ASAs, CBIZ provides a range of 
services to the CPA firms, including (but not limited to): administrative functions such as office 
management, bookkeeping and accounting; preparing marketing and promotional materials; providing 
office space, computer equipment and systems support; and leasing administrative and professional staff. 
Services are performed in exchange for a fee. Fees earned by CBIZ under the ASAs are recorded as 
revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income and totaled 
approximately $140.2 million, $116.1 million and $109.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 
2012 and 2011, respectively, a majority of which is related to services rendered to privately-held clients 
and governmental agencies. In the event that accounts receivable and unbilled work in process become 
uncollectible by the CPA firms, the service fee due to CBIZ is typically reduced on a proportional basis. 
The ASAs have terms ranging up to eighteen years, are renewable upon agreement by both parties, and 
have certain rights of extension and termination. 

With respect to CPA firm clients that are required to file audited financial statements with the SEC, the 
SEC staff views CBIZ and the CPA firms with which CBIZ has contractual relationships as a single entity 
in applying independence rules established by the accountancy regulators and the SEC. Accordingly, 
CBIZ does not hold any financial interest in an SEC-reporting attest client of an associated CPA firm, 
enter into any business relationship with an SEC-reporting attest client that the CPA firm performing an 
audit could not maintain, or sell any non-audit services to an SEC-reporting attest client that the CPA firm 
performing an audit could not sell, under the auditor independence limitations set out in the Sarbanes-
Oxley Act of 2002 and other professional accountancy independence standards. Applicable professional 
standards generally permit CBIZ to provide additional services to privately-held companies in addition to 
those services which may be provided to SEC-reporting attest clients of an associated CPA firm. CBIZ 

6 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
and the CPA firms with which CBIZ is associated have implemented policies and procedures designed to 
enable the Company and the CPA firms to maintain independence and freedom from conflicts of interest 
in accordance with applicable standards. Given the policies set by CBIZ on its relationships with SEC-
reporting attest clients of associated CPA firms, and the limited number and size of such clients, the 
Sarbanes-Oxley Act independence limitations do not, and are not expected to, materially affect CBIZ 
revenues. 

The CPA firms with which CBIZ maintains ASAs may operate as limited liability companies, limited liability 
partnerships or professional corporations. The firms are separate legal entities with separate governing 
bodies and officers. Neither the existence of the ASAs nor the providing of services thereunder 
constitutes control of the CPA firms by CBIZ. CBIZ and the CPA firms maintain their own respective 
liability and risk of loss in connection with the performance of their respective services. Attest services are 
not permitted to be performed by any individual or entity that is not licensed to do so. CBIZ is not 
permitted to perform audits, reviews, compilations, or other attest services, does not contract to perform 
them and does not provide the associated attest reports. Given this legal prohibition and course of 
conduct, CBIZ does not believe it is likely that it would bear the risk of litigation losses related to attest 
services provided by the CPA firms. 

At December 31, 2013, CBIZ maintained ASAs with four CPA firms. Most of the members and/or 
stockholders of the CPA firms are also CBIZ employees, and CBIZ renders services to the CPA firms as 
an independent contractor. CBIZ’s primary ASA is with Mayer Hoffman McCann, P.C. (“Mayer Hoffman”), 
an independent national CPA firm headquartered in Leawood, Kansas. Mayer Hoffman has 274 
stockholders, a vast majority of whom are also employees of CBIZ. Mayer Hoffman maintains an eight 
member board of directors. There are no board members of Mayer Hoffman who hold senior officer 
positions at CBIZ. CBIZ's association with Mayer Hoffman offers clients access to the multi-state 
resources and expertise of a national CPA firm. CBIZ also has an ASA with Myers & Stauffer LLC 
(“M&S”), an independent national governmental healthcare consulting firm headquartered in Leawood, 
Kansas.  M&S has eight equity members, all of whom are also employees of CBIZ. M&S maintains a 
three member executive committee, none of whom hold senior officer positions at CBIZ. 

Although the ASAs do not constitute control, CBIZ is one of the beneficiaries of the agreements and may 
bear certain economic risks. As such, the CPA firms with which CBIZ maintains ASAs qualify as variable 
interest entities. See Note 1 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion. 

Employee Services 

CBIZ's Employee Services practice group operates under a divisional President who oversees the 
practice group, along with a senior management team aligned along functional, product, and unit 
management lines. The Employee Services President reports to CBIZ’s Chief Operating Officer. CBIZ’s 
Employee Services group is organized along lines of services such as employee benefits consulting and 
brokerage, property and casualty brokerage, retirement plan advisory services, payroll services, human 
capital advisory services, actuarial services, life insurance and other services that serve local and 
regional clients with national resources. 

CBIZ’s Employee Services practice group maintains relationships with many different insurance carriers. 
Some of these carriers have compensation arrangements with CBIZ whereby some portion of payments 
due may be contingent upon meeting certain performance goals, or upon CBIZ providing client services 
that would otherwise be provided by the carriers. These compensation arrangements are provided to 
CBIZ as a result of its performance and expertise, and may result in enhancing CBIZ’s ability to access 
certain insurance markets and services on behalf of CBIZ clients. The aggregate compensation related to 
these arrangements received during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were less than 
2% of consolidated CBIZ revenue for the respective periods. 

National Practices  

The National Practices group offers technology and health care consulting services. Both units within the 
National Practices group each have a Business Unit President. These Business Unit Presidents report to 

7 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
a Senior Vice President and CBIZ’s President and Chief Operating Officer, with one unit reporting to 
CBIZ’s Chief Executive Officer. 

Sales and Marketing 

CBIZ’s branding goals are focused on providing CBIZ with a consistent image while at the same time 
providing support, tools and resources for each practice and market to utilize within each of the 
Company’s distinct geographic and industry markets. Three key strategies are employed to accomplish 
these goals: thought leadership, market segmentation, and sales/sales management process 
development. 

  Thought leadership: CBIZ marketing efforts continue to capitalize on the extensive knowledge and 

expertise of CBIZ associates. This has been accomplished through media visibility, social media, 
webinars, and the creation of a wide variety of white papers, newsletters, books, and other 
information offerings. 

  Market segmentation: The majority of CBIZ marketing resources are devoted to the highly 

measurable and high return on investment strategies that specifically target those industries and 
service areas where CBIZ has particularly deep experience. These efforts typically involve local, 
regional or national trade show and event sponsorships, targeted direct mail, email, and 
telemarketing campaigns, and practice and industry specific micro-sites and newsletters. 

  Sales/sales management process development: CBIZ continues to enhance an accountable business 

development culture with several initiatives, including enhanced management visibility, analytics and 
forecasting through Salesforce.com and the implementation of performance management scorecards 
and business development pipeline reports. Together, these initiatives have helped create a more 
effective, efficient and successful sales management process throughout the Company. 

CBIZ’s focus has been on developing marketing strategies that specifically support each of the 
Company’s major practice areas: Financial Services (accounting) and Employee Services (insurance, 
payroll and human resources). In each of these segments, emphasis has been put on marketing 
technology that has the highest and most measurable return on investment, including enhanced targeted 
email campaigns, webinars, web lead generation, and an evolving web presence.  

In 2012, CBIZ launched an initiative to build relationships and reputation through social media. Beginning 
with comprehensive training and support for LinkedIn and Twitter, CBIZ’s social media efforts have 
expanded to include programs on Facebook, Google+, YouTube and social sharing sites such as 
Slideshare and Pinterest. 

Customers 

CBIZ provides professional services to over 90,000 clients, including over 50,000 business clients. By 
providing various professional services and administrative functions, CBIZ enables its clients to focus 
their resources on their own operational competencies. Reducing administrative functions allows clients 
to enhance productivity, reduce costs and improve service quality and efficiency by focusing on their core 
business. Depending on a client's size and capabilities, it may choose to utilize one, some or many of the 
diverse and integrated services offered by CBIZ. 

CBIZ's clients come from a large variety of industries and markets, including many government agencies, 
with the Company targeting mid-sized companies that have between 100 and 2,000 employees and 
annual revenues between $5 million and $200 million. CBIZ’s largest client, Edward Jones, comprises 
approximately 3% of CBIZ’s consolidated revenue in 2013 and is included in the National Practices 
operating practice group. Management believes that its client diversity helps insulate CBIZ from a 
downturn in a particular industry or geographic market. Nevertheless, economic conditions among select 
clients and groups of clients may have an impact on the demand for services provided by CBIZ. See Note 

8 

 
 
 
 
  
  
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
22 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information regarding revenue attributable 
to the geographic areas where CBIZ operates. 

Competition 

The professional business services industry is highly fragmented and competitive, with a majority of 
industry participants, such as accounting, employee benefits, payroll providers or professional service 
organizations, offering only a limited number of services. Competition is based primarily on client 
relationships, quality of professional advice, range and quality of services or product offerings, customer 
service, timeliness, geographic proximity, and competitive rates. CBIZ competes with a number of multi-
location regional or national professional services firms and a large number of relatively small 
independent firms in local markets. CBIZ's competitors in the professional business services industry 
include, but are not limited to, independent consulting services companies, independent accounting and 
tax firms, payroll service providers, independent insurance brokers and divisions of diversified services 
companies. 

Acquisitions and Divestitures 

CBIZ seeks to strengthen its operations and customer service capabilities by selectively acquiring 
businesses that expand its market position and strengthen its existing service offerings. During the year 
ended December 31, 2013, CBIZ acquired two businesses:  

  Associated Insurance Agents (“AIA”), located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is an insurance 

brokerage agency specializing in property and casualty insurance, personal lines and health and 
benefit insurance. Annualized revenues are estimated to be approximately $3.8 million and are 
reported in the Employee Services practice group. 

  Knight Field Fabry, LLP (“Knight”), primarily located in Denver, Colorado, was consolidated with 
the Company’s existing Denver practice and is a provider of traditional accounting, tax, litigation 
support and valuation services. Annual revenues are estimated to be approximately $1.5 million 
and are reported in the Financial Services practice group.  

During the year ended December 31, 2013, CBIZ also purchased three client lists, two of which are 
reported in the Employee Services practice group and one reported in the Financial Services practice 
group. 

CBIZ will divest business operations that do not contribute to the long-term goals of CBIZ or do not meet 
certain growth or service targets. During 2013, CBIZ divested three businesses: 

  On August 30, 2013, CBIZ sold all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CBIZ Medical 

Management Professionals, Inc. and CBIZ Medical Management, Inc. and substantially all of the 
stock of their subsidiary companies, collectively consisting of all of CBIZ’s MMP’s ongoing 
operations and business for a purchase price of $201.6 million, subject to final working capital 
adjustments pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement among CBIZ Operations, Inc. and Zotec 
Partners, LLC dated July 26, 2013. The results of operations for MMP for the years ended 
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are included in “Income for discontinued operations, net of 
tax” and the gain on the sale of MMP of approximately $58.3 million is recorded in “Gain on 
disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax” on the consolidated statements of comprehensive 
income. The assets and liabilities of MMP have been consolidated and are included in “Assets of 
discontinued operations” and “Liabilities of discontinued operations” on the consolidated balance 
sheets as of December 31, 2012.  

  CBIZ made the decision to divest the operations of its property tax business located in Leawood, 
Kansas as a result of declining growth and profitability. This business is being held for sale at 
December 31, 2013, with the results of operations being included in “Income for discontinued 

9 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
operations, net of tax” on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. This business 
was previously reported in the Financial Services practice group. 

  On December 31, 2013, CBIZ sold its mergers and acquisition business for no gain or loss. The 

results of operations for the years ended 2013, 2012 and 2011 are included in continuing 
operations and are reported in the National Practices practice group. 

In addition, during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, CBIZ recognized gains of $2.5 million 
and $2.3 million, respectively, from the sale of its individual wealth management business in January 
2011. The gains are recorded in “Gain on sale of operations, net” on the consolidated statements of 
comprehensive income. 

Regulation 

CBIZ's operations are subject to regulation by federal, state, local and professional governing bodies. 
Accordingly, CBIZ’s business services may be impacted by legislative changes by these bodies, 
particularly with respect to provisions relating to payroll, benefits administration and insurance services, 
pension plan administration and tax and accounting. CBIZ remains abreast of regulatory changes 
affecting its business, as these changes often affect clients' activities with respect to employment, 
taxation, benefits, and accounting. For instance, changes in income, estate, or property tax laws may 
require additional consultation with clients subject to these changes to ensure their activities comply with 
revised regulations. 

CBIZ itself is subject to industry regulation and changes, including changes in laws, regulations, and 
codes of ethics governing its accounting, insurance, valuation, registered investment advisory and broker-
dealer operations, as well as in other industries, the interpretation of which may impact CBIZ's operations.  

CBIZ is subject to certain privacy and information security laws and regulations, including, but not limited 
to those under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, The Financial 
Modernization Act of 1999 (the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act), the Health Information Technology for 
Economic and Clinical Health Act, and other provisions of federal and state laws which may restrict 
CBIZ's operations and give rise to expenses related to compliance. 

As a public company, CBIZ is subject to the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to reform the 
oversight of public company auditing, improve the quality and transparency of financial reporting by those 
companies and strengthen the independence of auditors.  

As of December 31, 2013, CBIZ believes it is in compliance with all governmental and professional 
organizations regulations in which it provides services. 

Liability Insurance 

CBIZ carries insurance policies, including those for commercial general liability, automobile liability, 
property, crime, professional liability, directors’ and officers’ liability, fiduciary liability, employment 
practices liability and workers' compensation, subject to prescribed state mandates. Excess liability 
coverage is carried over the underlying limits provided by the commercial general liability, directors’ and 
officers’ liability, professional liability and automobile liability policies. 

Employees 

At December 31, 2013, CBIZ employed approximately 4,100 employees. CBIZ believes that it has a good 
relationship with its employees. A large number of the Company’s employees hold professional licenses 
or degrees. As a professional services company that differentiates itself from competitors through the 
quality and diversity of its service offerings, CBIZ believes that its employees are its most important asset. 

10 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Accordingly, CBIZ strives to remain competitive as an employer while increasing the capabilities and 
performance of its employees. 

Seasonality 

A disproportionately large amount of CBIZ's revenue occurs in the first half of the year. This is due 
primarily to accounting and tax services provided by the Company’s Financial Services practice group, 
which is subject to seasonality related to heavy volume in the first four months of the year. CBIZ's 
Financial Services practice group generated more than 40% of its revenue in the first four months of each 
of the past five years. In addition, more than 50% of the Company’s annual earnings per share have been 
earned during the first quarter of each of the past five years. Like most professional service companies, 
most of CBIZ's operating costs are relatively fixed in the short term, which generally results in higher 
operating margins in the first half of the year. 

Available Information 

CBIZ's principal executive office is located at 6050 Oak Tree Boulevard, South, Suite 500, Cleveland, 
Ohio 44131, and the Company’s telephone number is (216) 447-9000. CBIZ’s website is located at 
http://www.cbiz.com. CBIZ makes available, free of charge on its website, through the investor 
information page, its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on 
Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after CBIZ files (or 
furnishes) such reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The public may 
read and copy materials the Company files (or furnishes) with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference 
Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549, and may obtain information on the operations of the 
Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-732-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains an Internet 
Website that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information about CBIZ at 
http://www.sec.gov. CBIZ’s corporate code of conduct and ethics and the charters of the Audit 
Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board 
of Directors are available on the investor information page of CBIZ's website, referenced above, and in 
print to any shareholder who requests them. 

Item 1A.  Risk Factors. 

The following factors may affect our actual operating and financial results and could cause results to differ 
materially from those in any forward-looking statements. You should carefully consider the following 
information. 

We may be more sensitive to revenue fluctuations than other companies, which could result in 
fluctuations in the market price of our common stock.  

A substantial majority of our operating expenses, such as personnel and related costs and occupancy 
costs, are relatively fixed in the short term. As a result, we may not be able to quickly reduce costs in 
response to any decrease in revenue. This factor could cause our quarterly results to be lower than 
expectations of securities analysts and stockholders, which could result in a decline in the price of our 
common stock. 

Payments on accounts receivable may be slower than expected, or amounts due on receivables or 
notes may not be fully collectible. 

Professional services firms often experience higher average accounts receivable days outstanding 
compared to many other industries, which may be magnified if the general economy worsens. If our 
collections become slower, our liquidity may be adversely impacted. We monitor the aging of receivables 
regularly and make assessments of the ability of customers to pay amounts due. We provide for potential 
bad debts each month and recognize additional reserves against bad debts as we deem it appropriate. 
Notwithstanding these measures, our customers may face unexpected circumstances that adversely 

11 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
impact their ability to pay their trade receivables or note obligations to us and we may face unexpected 
losses as a result. 

We are dependent on the services of our executive officers and other key employees, the loss of 
any of whom may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results 
of operations. 

Our success depends in large part upon the abilities and continued services of our executive officers and 
other key employees, such as our business unit presidents. In the course of business operations, 
employees may resign and seek employment elsewhere. Certain principal employees, however, are 
bound in writing to non-compete agreements barring competitive employment, client solicitation, and 
solicitation of employees for a period of between two and ten years following his or her resignation. We 
cannot assure you that we will be able to retain the services of our key personnel. If we cannot retain the 
services of key personnel, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition 
and results of operations. While we generally have employment agreements and non-competition 
agreements with key personnel, courts are at times reluctant to enforce such non-competition 
agreements. In addition, many of our executive officers and other key personnel are either participants in 
our stock option plan or holders of a significant amount of our common stock. We believe that these 
interests provide additional incentives for these key employees to remain with us. In order to support our 
growth, we intend to continue to effectively recruit, hire, train and retain additional qualified management 
personnel. Our inability to attract and retain necessary personnel could have a material adverse effect on 
our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

Restrictions imposed by independence requirements and conflict of interest rules may limit our 
ability to provide services to clients of the attest firms with which we have contractual 
relationships and the ability of such attest firms to provide attestation services to our clients. 

Restrictions imposed by independence requirements and state accountancy laws and regulations 
preclude CBIZ from rendering audit and attest services (other than internal audit services). As such, CBIZ 
and its subsidiaries maintain joint-referral relationships and ASAs with independent licensed CPA firms 
under which audit and attest services may be provided to CBIZ's clients by such CPA firms (the “CPA 
firms”). The CPA firms are owned by licensed CPAs, a vast majority of whom are employed by CBIZ 
subsidiaries. 

Under these ASAs, CBIZ provides a range of services to the CPA firms, including: administrative 
functions such as office management, bookkeeping, and accounting; preparing marketing and promotion 
materials; providing office space, computer equipment, and systems support; and leasing administrative 
and professional staff. Services are performed in exchange for a fee. Fees earned by CBIZ under the 
ASAs are recorded as revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income. 
In the event that accounts receivable and unbilled work in process become uncollectible by the CPA 
firms, the service fee due to CBIZ is typically reduced on a proportional basis. 

With respect to CPA firm clients that are required to file audited financial statements with the SEC, the 
SEC staff views CBIZ and the CPA firms with which we have contractual relationships as a single entity in 
applying independence rules established by the accountancy regulators and the SEC. Accordingly, we do 
not hold any financial interest in, nor do we enter into any business relationship with, an SEC-reporting 
attest client that the CPA firm performing an audit could not maintain; further, we do not sell any non-audit 
services to an SEC-reporting attest client that the CPA firm performing an audit could not sell under the 
auditor independence limitations set out in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other professional 
accountancy independence standards. SEC staff recently informed us that independence rules that apply 
to clients that receive attest services under SEC and PCAOB standards from such CPA firms would 
prohibit such clients from holding any stock of CBIZ, Inc. However, applicable professional standards 
generally permit CBIZ to provide additional services to privately-held companies, in addition to those 
services which may be provided to SEC-reporting attest clients of a CPA firm. CBIZ and the CPA firms 
have implemented policies and procedures designed to enable us to maintain independence and freedom 
from conflicts of interest in accordance with applicable standards. Given the pre-existing limits set by 
CBIZ on its relationships with SEC-reporting attest clients of associated CPA firms, and the limited 

12 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
number and size of such clients, the imposition of independence limitations under the Sarbanes-Oxley 
Act, SEC rule or interpretation, or PCAOB standards do not and are not expected to materially affect 
CBIZ revenues. 

There can be no assurance that following the policies and procedures implemented by us and the CPA 
firms will enable us and the CPA firms to avoid circumstances that would cause us and them to lack 
independence from an SEC-reporting attest client; nor can there be any assurance that state, U.S. 
Government Accountability Office or U.S. Department Of Labor accountancy authorities will not impose 
additional restrictions on the profession. To the extent that the CPA firms for whom we provide 
administrative and other services are affected, we may experience a decline in fee revenue from these 
businesses as well as expenses related to addressing independence concerns. To date, revenues 
derived from providing services in connection with attestation engagements of the attest firms performed 
for SEC-reporting clients have not been material. 

Our goodwill and intangible assets could become impaired, which could lead to material non-cash 
charges against earnings. 

We assess potential impairment on our goodwill and intangible asset balances, including client lists, on 
an annual basis, or more frequently if there is any indication that the asset may be impaired. Any 
impairment of goodwill or intangible assets resulting from this periodic assessment would result in a non-
cash charge against current earnings, which could lead to a material impact on our results of operations, 
statements of financial position, and earnings per share. Any decline in future revenues, cash flows or 
growth rates as a result of further adverse changes in the economic environment or an adverse change 
resulting from new governmental regulations could lead to an impairment of goodwill or intangible assets. 

Certain liabilities resulting from acquisitions are estimated and could lead to a material non-cash 
impact on earnings. 

Through its acquisition activities, CBIZ records liabilities for estimated future contingent earnout 
payments. These liabilities are reviewed quarterly and changes in assumptions used to determine the 
amount of the liability could lead to a non-cash adjustment that may have a material impact, favorable or 
unfavorable, on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. 

Governmental regulations and interpretations are subject to changes, which could have a material 
adverse effect on revenue. 

Laws and regulations could result in changes in the amount or the type of business services required by 
businesses and individuals. We cannot be sure that future laws and regulations will provide the same or 
similar opportunities for us to provide business consulting and management services to businesses and 
individuals. State insurance regulators have conducted inquiries to clarify the nature of compensation 
arrangements within the insurance brokerage industry. Future regulatory actions or laws, including the 
Affordable Care Act of 2010, may limit or eliminate our ability to enhance revenue through all current 
compensation arrangements and may result in a diminution of future insurance brokerage revenue from 
these sources. Accordingly, CBIZ's ability to continue to operate in some states may depend on our 
flexibility to modify our operational structure in response to these changes in regulations. 

Changes in the United States healthcare environment, including new health care legislation, may 
adversely affect the revenue and margins in our healthcare benefit businesses.  

Our employee benefits business, specifically our group health consulting and brokerage businesses, 
receives commissions for brokering employer-sponsored healthcare policies with insurance carriers on 
behalf of the client. In many cases, these commissions consist of a ratable portion of the insurance 
premiums on those policies, based upon a sliding scale pertaining to the dollar volume of premiums 
and/or the number of participants in the plan. 

Changes in the healthcare environment, including, but not limited to, any legislated changes in the U.S. 
national health care system, that affect the methods by which insurance carriers remunerate brokers, 

13 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
could adversely impact our revenues and margins in this business. Specifically, legislation or other 
changes could afford our clients and their employees the ability to seek insurance coverage through other 
means, including, but not limited to, direct access with insurance carriers or other similar avenues, which 
could eliminate or adversely alter the remuneration brokers receive from insurance carriers for their 
services.  

Higher rates of unemployment in the U.S. could result in a general reduction in the number of individuals 
with employer-sponsored health care coverage. This decline in employee participation in healthcare 
insurance plans at our clients could result in a reduction in the commissions we receive from insurance 
carriers for our brokerage services, which could have an adverse impact on revenues and margins in this 
business. 

We are subject to risks relating to processing customer transactions for our payroll and other 
transaction processing businesses. 

The high volume of client funds and data processed by us, or by our out-sourced resources abroad, in our 
transaction related businesses entails risks for which we may be held liable if the accuracy or timeliness 
of the transactions processed is not correct. In addition, related to our payroll and employee benefits 
businesses, we store personal information about some of our clients and their employees for which we 
may be liable under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act or other governmental 
regulations if the security of this information is breached. We could incur significant legal expense to 
defend any claims against us, even those claims without merit. While we carry insurance against these 
potential liabilities, we cannot be certain that circumstances surrounding such an error or breach of 
security would be entirely reimbursed through insurance coverage. We believe we have controls and 
procedures in place to address our fiduciary responsibility and mitigate these risks. However, if we are not 
successful in managing these risks, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be 
harmed. 

Cyber attacks or other security breaches involving our computer systems or the systems of one 
or more of our vendors could materially and adversely affect our business. 

Our systems, like others in the payroll, retirement and financial services industries, are vulnerable to 
cyber security risks, and we are subject to potential disruption caused by such activities. Corporations 
such as ours are subject to frequent attacks on their systems. Such attacks may have various goals, from 
seeking confidential information to causing operational disruption. Although to date such activities have 
not resulted in material disruptions to our operations or, to our knowledge, breach of any security or 
confidential information, no assurance can be provided that such disruptions or breach will not occur in 
the future. Any significant violations of data privacy could result in the loss of business, litigation, 
regulatory investigations, and penalties that could damage our reputation and adversely affect the growth 
of our business. 

We are subject to risk as it relates to software that we license from third parties. 

We license software from third parties, much of which is integral to our systems and our business. The 
licenses are terminable if we breach our obligations under the license agreements. If any of these 
relationships were terminated or if any of these parties were to cease doing business or cease to support 
the applications we currently utilize, we may be forced to spend significant time and money to replace the 
licensed software. However, we cannot assure you that the necessary replacements will be available on 
reasonable terms, if at all. 

We could be held liable for errors and omissions. 

All of our business services entail an inherent risk of malpractice and other similar claims resulting from 
errors and omissions. Therefore, we maintain errors and omissions insurance coverage. Although we 
believe that our insurance coverage is adequate, we cannot be certain that actual future claims or related 
legal expenses would not exceed the coverage amounts. In addition, we cannot be certain that the 
different insurance carriers which provide errors and omissions coverage for different lines of our 

14 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
business will not dispute their obligation to cover a particular claim. If we have a large claim, or a large 
number of claims, on our insurance, the rates for such insurance may increase, and amounts expended 
in defense or settlement of these claims prior to exhaustion of deductible or self-retention levels may 
become significant, but contractual arrangements with clients may constrain our ability to incorporate 
such increases into service fees. Insurance rate increases, disputes by carriers over coverage questions, 
payments by us within deductible or self-retention limits, as well as any underlying claims or settlement of 
such claims, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of 
operations. 

The future issuance of additional shares could adversely affect the price of our common stock. 

Future sales or issuances of common stock, including those related to the uses described below, or the 
perception that sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and dilute 
the percentage ownership held by our stockholders. We have authorized 250 million shares, and have 
approximately 49.8 million shares outstanding at February 28, 2014. A substantial number of these 
shares have been issued in connection with acquisitions. As part of many acquisition transactions, shares 
are contractually restricted from sale for a one-year period, and as of February 28, 2014, approximately 
0.4 million shares of common stock were under lock-up contractual restrictions that expire by December 
31, 2014. We cannot be sure when sales by holders of our stock will occur, how many shares will be sold 
or the effect that sales may have on the market price of our common stock.  

In 2006, the Company issued $100.0 million of 3.125% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026 
(the “2006 Notes”). During 2010 and 2011, $99.3 million of the 2006 Notes were retired by CBIZ, leaving 
$750,000  outstanding as of December 31, 2013. Although the Company cannot at this time determine 
the number of shares of common stock it will issue upon conversion of the 2006 Notes, if any, the number 
of shares of common stock will be calculated as defined in the indenture agreements with U.S. Bank 
National Association as trustee. In addition, in September 2010, CBIZ issued $130.0 million of 4.875% 
Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 (the “2010 Notes”) pursuant to Rule 144A under the 
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company cannot at this time determine the number of shares of 
common stock it will issue upon conversion of these notes, although the number of shares of common 
stock it will issue, if any, will be calculated as defined in the indenture agreements with U.S. Bank 
National Association as trustee. 

Our principal stockholders may have substantial control over our operations. 

At December 31, 2013, the stockholders identified below beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 
13d-3 of the Exchange Act) the following aggregate amounts and percentages of our common stock:

Because of their stock ownership, these stockholders may exert substantial influence or actions that 
require the consent of a majority of our outstanding shares, including the election of directors. CBIZ's 
share repurchase activities may result in increased ownership percentages of these individuals and 
therefore increase the influence they may exert, if they do not participate in these share repurchase 
transactions or otherwise dispose of their common stock. 

We require a significant amount of cash for interest payments on our debt and to expand our 
business as planned. 

At December 31, 2013, our debt consisted of $48.5 million in principal amount outstanding under our 
credit facility and $130.8 million principal amount outstanding under our convertible notes. Our debt 
requires us to dedicate a significant portion of our cash flow from operations to pay interest on our 
indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds available to use for acquisitions, capital expenditures and 
general corporate purposes. Our ability to make interest payments on our debt, and to fund acquisitions, 
will depend upon our ability to generate cash in the future. Insufficient cash flow could place us at risk of 
default under our debt agreements or could prevent us from expanding our business as planned. Our 
ability to generate cash is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and 
other factors that are beyond our control. Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from 
operations and future borrowings may not be available to us under our credit facility in an amount 
sufficient to enable us to fund our other liquidity needs. 

Terms of our credit facility may adversely affect our ability to run our business and/or reduce 
stockholder returns. 

The terms of our credit facility, as well as the guarantees of our subsidiaries, could impair our ability to 
operate our business effectively and may limit our ability to take advantage of business opportunities. For 
example, our credit facility may: 

 

 

 

restrict our ability to repurchase or redeem our capital stock or debt, or merge or consolidate with 
another entity;  
limit our ability to borrow additional funds or to obtain other financing in the future for working 
capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments and general corporate purposes; 
limit our ability to dispose of our assets, create liens on our assets, to extend credit or to issue 
dividends to our stockholders; and 

  make us more vulnerable to economic downturns and reduce our flexibility in responding to 

changing business and economic conditions. 

Our failure to satisfy covenants in our debt instruments will cause a default under those 
instruments. 

Our debt instruments include a number of covenants relating to financial ratios and tests. Our ability to 
comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing 
economic, financial and industry conditions. The breach of any of these covenants would result in a 
default under these instruments. An event of default would permit our lenders and other debt holders to 
declare all amounts borrowed from them to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid 
interest. If the lenders accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we may not have sufficient assets to 
repay our debt. 

We are reliant on information processing systems and any failure of these systems could have a 
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

Our ability to provide business services depends on our capacity to store, retrieve, process and manage 
significant databases, and expand and upgrade periodically our information processing capabilities. 
Interruption or loss of our information processing capabilities through loss of stored data, breakdown or 
malfunctioning of computer equipment and software systems, telecommunications failure, or damage 
caused by fire, tornadoes, lightning, electrical power outage, or other disruption could have a material 
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although we have disaster 

16 

 
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
 
 
recovery procedures in place and insurance to protect against such contingencies, we cannot be sure 
that insurance or these services will continue to be available, cover all our losses or compensate us for 
the possible loss of clients occurring during any period that we are unable to provide business services. 

We may not be able to acquire and finance additional businesses which may limit our ability to 
pursue our business strategy. 

CBIZ acquired two businesses and three client lists during 2013, and maintains a healthy pipeline of 
potential businesses for acquisition. Targeted acquisitions are part of our growth strategy, and it is our 
intention to selectively acquire businesses or client lists that are complementary to existing service 
offerings in our target markets. However, we cannot be certain that we will be able to continue identifying 
appropriate acquisition candidates and acquire them on satisfactory terms, and we cannot be assured 
that such acquisitions, even if completed, will perform as expected or will contribute significant synergies, 
revenues or profits. In addition, we may also face increased competition for acquisition opportunities, 
which may inhibit our ability to complete transactions on terms that are favorable to us. As discussed 
above, there are certain provisions under our credit facility that may limit our ability to acquire additional 
businesses. In the event that we are not in compliance with certain covenants as specified in our credit 
facility, we could be restricted from making acquisitions, restricted from borrowing funds from our credit 
facility for other uses, or required to pay down the outstanding balance on the line of credit. However, 
management believes that funds available under the credit facility, along with cash generated from 
operations, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including planned acquisition activity in the 
foreseeable future. To the extent we are unable to find suitable acquisition candidates, an important 
component of our growth strategy may not be realized. 

The business services industry is competitive and fragmented. If we are unable to compete 
effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be negatively 
impacted. 

We face competition from a number of sources in both the business services industry and from specialty 
insurance agencies. Competition in both industries has led to consolidation. Many of our competitors are 
large companies that may have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than us. In 
addition to these large companies and specialty insurance agencies, we face competition in the business 
services industry from in-house employee services departments, local business services companies and 
independent consultants, as well as from new entrants into our markets. We cannot assure you that, as 
our industry continues to evolve, additional competitors will not enter the industry or that our clients will 
not choose to conduct more of their business services internally or through alternative business services 
providers. Although we intend to monitor industry trends and respond accordingly, we cannot assure you 
that we will be able to anticipate and successfully respond to such trends in a timely manner. We cannot 
be certain that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, or that 
competitive pressure will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and 
results of operations. 

Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments. 

None. 

Item 2.  Properties. 

CBIZ's corporate headquarters is located at 6050 Oak Tree Boulevard, South, Suite 500, Cleveland, Ohio 
44131, in leased premises. CBIZ and its subsidiaries lease more than 100 offices in 34 states, and one in 
Toronto, Canada. Some of CBIZ's properties are subject to liens securing payment of indebtedness of 
CBIZ and its subsidiaries. CBIZ believes that its current facilities are sufficient for its current needs.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.  

In 2010, CBIZ, Inc. and its subsidiary, CBIZ MHM, LLC (fka CBIZ Accounting, Tax & Advisory Services, 
LLC) (the “CBIZ Parties”), were named as defendants in lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the 
District of Arizona and the Superior Court for Maricopa County, Arizona. The federal court case is 
captioned Robert Facciola, et al v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al, and the state court cases are captioned 
Victims Recovery, LLC v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al, Roger Ashkenazi, et al v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, 
et al, Mary Marsh, et al v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al; and ML Liquidating Trust v. Mayer Hoffman 
McCann PC, et al. Prior to these suits CBIZ MHM, LLC was named as a defendant in Jeffery C. Stone v. 
Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al. The Stone case was subsequently voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff. 

These lawsuits arose out of the bankruptcy of Mortgages Ltd., a mortgage lender to developers in the 
Phoenix, Arizona area. Various other professional firms not related to the Company were also named 
defendants in these lawsuits.  

Mortgages Ltd. had been audited by Mayer Hoffman McCann PC (“Mayer Hoffman”), a CPA firm that has 
an administrative services agreement with CBIZ. The lawsuits assert claims against Mayer Hoffman for, 
among others things, violations of the Arizona Securities Act, common law fraud, and negligent 
misrepresentation, and seek to hold the CBIZ Parties vicariously liable for Mayer Hoffman’s conduct as 
either a statutory control person under the Arizona Securities Act or a joint venturer under Arizona 
common law. CBIZ is not a CPA firm, does not provide audits, and did not audit any of the entities at 
issue in these lawsuits, nor is CBIZ a control person of, or a joint venture with, Mayer Hoffman. 

In June 2011, the Facciola court, in which the plaintiffs were seeking to certify a class of all Mortgages 
Ltd. investors, granted the motions to dismiss filed by the CBIZ Parties and Mayer Hoffman. After that 
dismissal order, the plaintiffs moved the court to amend their complaint in an attempt to state a claim 
against the CBIZ Parties and Mayer Hoffman. In November 2011, the Facciola court denied the plaintiffs’ 
request to amend the complaint as to the CBIZ Parties and Mayer Hoffman. In June 2012, the remaining 
defendants in the Facciola case reached a class action settlement, which the court approved in October 
2012. Eighteen class members, however, opted out of the settlement before it was finalized and, in 
September 2012, filed a new case against all of the defendants in the Facciola case, including the CBIZ 
Parties (Rader et al v. Greenberg Traurig, LLC, et al). In December 2012, the Facciola plaintiffs filed an 
appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit of the dismissal of their case against the CBIZ 
Parties and Mayer Hoffman. That appeal is currently pending. 

The plaintiffs, except for the ML Liquidating Trust, are all alleged to have directly or indirectly invested in 
real estate mortgages through Mortgages Ltd. The Victims Recovery, Ashkenazi and Marsh plaintiffs 
seek monetary damages equivalent to their alleged losses on those investments. The ML Liquidating 
Trust asserts errors and omissions and breach of contract claims and is seeking monetary damages. The 
Ashkenazi complaint alleges damages of approximately $92 million; the Victims Recovery complaint 
alleges damages of approximately $53 million; the Marsh, Facciola, Rader, and ML Liquidating Trust 
complaints allege damages in excess of approximately $200 million. The plaintiffs in these suits also seek 
pre- and post-judgment interest, punitive damages and attorneys’ fees. 

The CBIZ Parties filed motions to dismiss in all remaining cases. On March 11, 2013, the court issued a 
ruling dismissing the securities fraud and aiding and abetting securities fraud claims against the CBIZ 
Parties and Mayer Hoffman in the Marsh, Victims Recovery and Ashkenazi lawsuits, and also dismissed 
certain other claims in the Ashkenazi and Victims Recovery cases.  

On April 12, 2013, the court denied the CBIZ Parties’ motion to dismiss the remaining claims in the 
Ashkenazi lawsuit. On May 7, 2013, the court in the ML Liquidating Trust lawsuit issued a ruling 
dismissing claims for deepening insolvency damages, negligence and breach of contract and holding that 
any claims related to the 2004 and 2005 Mayer Hoffman audits were barred by the statute of limitations. 
The court denied the motion as to the negligent misrepresentation claim.  On June 14, 2013, the court 
dismissed the RICO, fraud and consumer fraud claims in the Marsh lawsuit, and denied the CBIZ Parties’ 
motion as to the negligent misrepresentation and aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty claims. 

18 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The CBIZ Parties and Mayer Hoffman, without admitting any liability, have reached settlements in the 
Victims Recovery, Ashkenazi and Rader lawsuits. In addition, the CBIZ Parties and Mayer Hoffman, 
without admitting any liability, reached a settlement with a single plaintiff from the Marsh lawsuit. The 
CBIZ Parties did not pay any monetary amounts as part of these settlements. The Victims Recovery 
complaint had alleged damages of approximately $53 million, the Ashkenazi complaint had alleged 
damages of approximately $92 million and the Rader complaint alleged damages in excess of $15 million. 
Discovery is proceeding in the remaining matters (except Facciola, which is on appeal) and no trial dates 
have been set. 

The CBIZ Parties deny all allegations of wrongdoing made against them in these actions and are 
vigorously defending the remaining proceedings. In particular, the CBIZ Parties are not control persons 
under the Arizona Securities Act of, or in a joint venture with, Mayer Hoffman. The CBIZ Parties do not 
have, in any respects, the legal right to control Mayer Hoffman’s audits or any say in how the audits are 
conducted. The Company has been advised by Mayer Hoffman that it denies all allegations of 
wrongdoing made against it and that it intends to continue vigorously defending the matters.  

In January 2012, the CBIZ Parties were added as defendants to a lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of 
California for Orange County (Signature Financial Group, Inc., et al, (“Signature”) v. Mayer Hoffman 
McCann, P.C., et al). This lawsuit arises out of a review of the financial statements of Medical Capital 
Holdings, Inc. (“Medical Capital”) by Mayer Hoffman. In June 2009, Medical Capital was sued by the SEC 
and a receiver was appointed to liquidate Medical Capital. The plaintiffs in the Signature lawsuit are 
financial advisors that sold Medical Capital investments to their clients. Those plaintiffs were sued by their 
clients for losses related to Medical Capital and now seek to recover damages from the CBIZ Parties and 
Mayer Hoffman of approximately $87 million for the losses and expenses they incurred in litigation with 
their respective clients and for lost profits. The Signature lawsuit seeks to impose auditor-type liabilities 
upon the CBIZ Parties for attest services they did not conduct. Specific claims asserted and relief 
requested included fraud, intentional misrepresentation and concealment; negligent misrepresentation; 
equitable indemnity; declaratory relief and respondeat superior.  

In November 2013, the Court granted the CBIZ Parties motion for summary judgment and the CBIZ 
Parties were dismissed from the lawsuit. The Company has been advised by Mayer Hoffman that it 
denies all allegations of wrongdoing made against it and that it intends to continue vigorously defending 
the matter.  

The Company cannot predict the outcome of the above matters or estimate the possible loss or range of 
loss, if any. Although the proceedings are subject to uncertainties inherent in the litigation process and 
the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, management believes that the 
allegations are without merit and that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material 
adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. 

In addition to those items disclosed above, the Company is, from time to time, subject to claims and suits 
arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the ultimate disposition of such proceedings is not 
presently determinable, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will 
have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows 
of the Company.

On December 31, 2013, the last reported sale price of CBIZ's common stock as reported on the NYSE 
was $9.12 per share. As of February 28, 2014, CBIZ had approximately 2,325 holders of record of its 
common stock, and the last sale of CBIZ's common stock as of that date was $9.13.  

As required by the NYSE, CBIZ filed its annual CEO certification regarding the Company’s compliance 
with the NYSE’s corporate governance listing standards as required by NYSE rule 303A. There were no 
qualifications in this certification. In addition, CBIZ has filed Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this Annual Report 
on Form 10-K, which represent the certifications of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer 
as required under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. 

Dividend Policy 

CBIZ’s credit facility does not permit CBIZ to declare or make any dividend payments, other than dividend 
payments made by one of CBIZ’s wholly-owned subsidiaries to the parent company. Historically, CBIZ 
has not paid cash dividends on its common stock. CBIZ does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the 
foreseeable future. CBIZ's Board of Directors has discretion over the payment and level of dividends on 
common stock, subject to the limitations of the credit facility.  

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities  

(a) Recent sales of unregistered securities 

During the fourth quarter of 2013, CBIZ issued 38,270 shares of its common stock as payment for 
contingent consideration for acquisitions that occurred prior to 2013. Also, on December 31, 2013, a total 
of 35,658 shares of CBIZ common stock became issuable as contingent consideration owed to former 
owners of businesses that were acquired by CBIZ. 

The above referenced shares were issued in transactions not involving a public offering in reliance on the 
exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The persons to whom the 
shares were issued had access to full information about CBIZ and represented that they acquired the 
shares for their own account and not for the purpose of distribution. The certificates for the shares contain 
a restrictive legend advising that the shares may not be offered for sale, sold, or otherwise transferred 
without having first been registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the 
Securities Act.

(c) Issuer purchases of equity securities 

Periodically, CBIZ’s Board of Directors authorizes a Share Repurchase Plan which allows the Company 
to purchase shares of its common stock in the open market or in a privately negotiated transaction 
according to SEC rules. On February 13, 2014, February 6, 2013 and February 22, 2012, CBIZ’s Board of 
Directors authorized Share Repurchase Plans, each of which authorized the purchase of up to 5.0 million 
shares of CBIZ common stock. Each Share Repurchase Plan is effective beginning April 1 of the 
respective plan year, and each expires one year from the respective effective date. The repurchase plans 
do not obligate CBIZ to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended at any time. 

Pursuant to an agreement (the “Westbury Agreement”) entered into on September 14, 2010 by CBIZ with 
its largest stockholder at that time, Westbury (Bermuda) Ltd. (“Westbury”), a Bermuda exempted 
company organized by CBIZ founder Michael G. DeGroote, Westbury Trust, a Bermuda trust, and 
Michael G. DeGroote, CBIZ purchased an option for $5.0 million to purchase up to approximately 7.7 
million shares of CBIZ’s common stock at a price of $7.25 per share (the “Option”), which constituted the 
remaining shares of CBIZ’s common stock held by Westbury. 

On August 30, 2013, CBIZ completed a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into on July 26, 2013, (the 
“Purchase Agreement”) with Westbury, pursuant to which CBIZ agreed to purchase from Westbury 
3,858,335 shares of CBIZ’s common stock (the “Purchased Shares”), pursuant to the Westbury 
Agreement. CBIZ agreed to pay Westbury $25.7 million for the Purchased Shares, which represented a 
price per share of $6.65. Following the completion of the purchase of the Purchased Shares under the 
Purchase Agreement, the remaining shares subject to the Westbury Agreement (the “Remaining 
Shares”), in the amount of 3,858,334 shares, were subject to the Westbury Agreement for the remainder 
of its term, which expired on September 30, 2013. 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 126,000 shares were withheld from employees 
to satisfy certain tax obligations due in connection with restricted stock that vested during 2013 under the 
2002 Amended and Restated CBIZ, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan. No shares were repurchased by CBIZ 
during the fourth quarter of 2013 under the Share Repurchase Plans. At December 31, 2013, there were 
approximately 4.9 million shares that may yet be purchased under repurchase plans approved by CBIZ’s 
Board of Directors.  

CBIZ has utilized, and may utilize in the future, a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan to allow for repurchases by the 
Company during periods when it would not normally be active in the trading market due to regulatory 
restrictions. Subsequent to December 31, 2013 up to the date of this filing, CBIZ repurchased 456,603 
shares in the open market at a total cost of approximately $3.9 million under the Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, 
which allows CBIZ to repurchase shares below a predetermined price per share. Additionally, the 
maximum number of shares that may be purchased by the Company each day is governed by Rule 
10b-18.

(1)  Amounts for 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009 have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, including the 

impact of discontinued operations. 

(2)  Other income (expense), net includes gains or losses attributable to assets held in the Company’s deferred compensation plan 

which totaled a gain (loss) of $8.2 million, $4.3 million, ($0.4) million, $3.7 million and $5.5 million for 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 
and 2009, respectively. These gains or losses do not impact “income from continuing operations” as they are directly offset by 
compensation to the Plan participants. During 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010, CBIZ recorded other (expense) income of ($0.9) 
million, $1.0 million, $3.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, related to increases/decreases in the fair value of contingent 
consideration related to CBIZ’s prior acquisitions. Included in 2012 are proceeds of $1.9 million related to a legal settlement. 
During 2010, CBIZ recorded a $2.0 million loss in other income (expense), net from the early retirement of $60 million face 
value of its convertible senior subordinated notes that were issued in 2006. 

(3)  Represents bank debt, the long-term portion of convertible notes, and the long-term portion of notes payable, which are 

reported in “other non-current liabilities” in CBIZ’s consolidated balance sheets. 

(4)  Adjusted EBITDA represents income from continuing operations before income tax expense, interest expense, gain on sale of 

operations, net, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA for 2010 also excludes the loss resulting from 
the retirement of $60 million of its convertible senior subordinated notes. See note (2) above for a description of these items. 
The Company has included Adjusted EBITDA because such data is commonly used as a performance measure by analysts 
and investors and as a measure of the Company’s ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA should not be regarded as an 
alternative or replacement to any measurement of performance under generally accepted accounting principles.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. 

The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding of CBIZ's financial position at 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, and results of operations and cash flows for each of the years ended 
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. This discussion should be read in conjunction with CBIZ's 
consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 
10-K. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements and should also be read in 
conjunction with the disclosures and information contained in “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 
1A. Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Executive Summary 

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased by 10.5% to $692.0 million from $626.5 
million for 2012. The increase in revenue was due to a combination of newly acquired operations, which 
resulted in an increase of $50.2 million, or 8.0%, and an increase in same unit revenue of $15.3 million, or 
2.5%. 

Earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.51 per diluted share for the year ended 
December 31, 2013 compared to $0.46 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2012. 
Earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2012 included a gain of approximately $0.03 related 
to the divestiture of CBIZ’s wealth management business that occurred in January of 2011, as well as 
$0.02 resulting from proceeds from a legal settlement which are included in other income, net.  

Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $1.08 and $0.92 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 
2012, respectively. CBIZ believes Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share illustrates the impact of certain 
non-cash charges on income from continuing operations and is a useful performance measure for the 
Company, its analysts and its stockholders. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share is a measurement 
prepared on a basis other than generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). As such, the 
Company has included this data and has provided a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measurement, 
“income per diluted share from continuing operations”. Reconciliations for the years ended December 31, 
2013, 2012 and 2011 are provided in the “Results of Operations – Continuing Operations” section that 
follows.  

During the year ended December 31, 2013, CBIZ acquired two businesses: Associated Insurance Agents 
(“AIA”), located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, an insurance brokerage agency specializing in property and 
casualty insurance, personal lines and health and benefit insurance; and Knight Field Fabry, LLP 
(“Knight”), primarily located in Denver, Colorado, an accounting service company providing traditional 
accounting, tax, litigation support and valuation services. Revenues from these business acquisitions are 
estimated to exceed $5.3 million for the year ending December 31, 2014. The operating results of AIA 
and Knight are reported in the Employee Services and Financial Services practice groups, respectively. 
In addition to the business acquisitions, CBIZ acquired three client lists, two of which are reported in the 
Employee Services practice group and the third being reported in the Financial Services practice group. 
For more details regarding CBIZ’s acquisitions, refer to Note 19 of the accompanying consolidated 
financial statements. 

On August 30, 2013, CBIZ sold all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CBIZ Medical 
Management Professionals, Inc. and CBIZ Medical Management, Inc. and substantially all of the stock of 
their subsidiary companies, collectively consisting of all of CBIZ’s MMP’s ongoing operations and 
business for a purchase price of $201.6 million, subject to final working capital adjustments pursuant to a 
Stock Purchase Agreement among CBIZ Operations, Inc. and Zotec Partners, LLC dated July 26, 2013. 
After transaction costs and taxes, proceeds from the transaction were approximately $145 million. The 
proceeds were used to repurchase shares from Westbury as discussed below and to pay down 
outstanding debt on the unsecured credit facility. The results of operations for MMP for the years ended 
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are included in “Income for discontinued operations, net of tax” and 
the gain on the sale of MMP of approximately $58.3 million is recorded in “Gain on disposal of 
discontinued operations, net of tax” on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The 
assets and liabilities of MMP have been consolidated and are included in “Assets of discontinued 

24 

 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
operations” and “Liabilities of discontinued operations” on the consolidated balance sheets as of 
December 31, 2012. Following the closing of the MMP transaction, the Company operates in three 
operating practice groups. 

CBIZ made the decision to divest the operations of its property tax business located in Leawood, Kansas, 
as a result of declining growth and profitability. This business is being held for sale at December 31, 
2013, with the results of operations being included in “Income for discontinued operations, net of tax” on 
the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. This business was previously reported in the 
Financial Services practice group. 

On December 31, 2013, CBIZ sold its mergers and acquisition business. The results of operations for the 
years ended 2013, 2012 and 2011 are included in continuing operations and are reported in the National 
Practices practice group. No gain or loss was recorded as a result of the sale. 

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, CBIZ recognized gains of $2.5 million and $2.3 
million, respectively, from the sale of its individual wealth management business that occurred in January 
2011. The gains are recorded in “Gain on sale of operations, net” on the consolidated statements of 
comprehensive income.  

CBIZ believes that repurchasing shares of its common stock provides value to its stockholders. CBIZ 
purchased approximately 3.85 million shares of its common stock pursuant to a Stock Purchase 
Agreement entered into on July 26, 2013 with Westbury. CBIZ paid approximately $25.7 million for the 
shares, which represented a price per share of $6.65. No other shares were repurchased on the open 
market during 2013. On February 13, 2014, CBIZ’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 
5.0 million shares of CBIZ common stock through March 31, 2015. The shares may be repurchased in the 
open market or through privately negotiated purchases in accordance with SEC rules.  

Subsequent to December 31, 2013 up to the date of this filing, CBIZ repurchased 456,603 shares at a 
total cost of approximately $3.9 million under the Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which allows CBIZ to 
repurchase shares below a predetermined price per share. 

Results of Operations — Continuing Operations 

CBIZ provides professional business services that help clients manage their finances and employees. 
CBIZ delivers its integrated services through the following three practice groups: Financial Services, 
Employee Services and National Practices. A description of these groups' operating results and factors 
affecting their businesses is provided below. 

Same-unit revenue represents total revenue adjusted to reflect comparable periods of activity for 
acquisitions and divestitures. For example, for a business acquired on July 1, 2012, revenue for the 
period January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013 would be reported as revenue from acquired businesses; 
same-unit revenue would include revenue for the periods July 1 through December 31 of both years. 
Divested operations represent operations that did not meet the criteria for treatment as discontinued 
operations. Those businesses that have met the requirements to be treated as a discontinued operation 
are eliminated from all periods presented below.

A detailed discussion of revenue by practice group is included under “Operating Practice Groups”. 

Gross margin and operating expenses – Operating expenses increased to $608.7 million for the year 
ended December 31, 2013 from $555.5 million in 2012, but decreased as a percentage of revenue to 
88.0% for the year ended December 31, 2013 from 88.7% for 2012. Excluding the impact of the 
Company’s deferred compensation plan, operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased by 
1.2%. The primary components of operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 
are illustrated in the following table:

(1)  Other operating expenses include office expenses, equipment costs, restructuring charges, bad debt and

Personnel costs as a percentage of revenue decreased 0.9% to 67.0% for the year ended December 31, 
2013 compared to 2012 due to the leveraging of labor costs in relation to the increase in revenues. 
Personnel costs as a percentage of revenue experienced by the individual practice groups is discussed in 
further detail under “Operating Practice Groups”. The decrease in occupancy costs of 0.4% of revenue 
was a result of the fixed nature of occupancy costs. The increase in professional fees primarily relates to 
the increase in the use of third party consultants in CBIZ’s expanded governmental audit practice where 
outside professional services are needed. The increase in travel and related costs relates to continued 
client development efforts. The increase in deferred compensation costs of 0.5% resulted from 
adjustments to the fair value of investments held in the deferred compensation plan. The adjustments to

the fair value of investments held in relation to the deferred compensation plan totaled a gain of $7.4 
million and $3.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These 
adjustments are recorded as compensation expense and are offset by the same adjustments to “other 
income, net”, and thus do not have an impact on net income. Although these adjustments are recorded as 
operating expenses, they are not allocated to the individual practice groups.  

Corporate general and administrative expenses – Corporate general and administrative (“G&A”) 
expenses increased by $4.2 million to $34.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, from $30.2 
million for 2012, and increased as a percent of revenue by 0.1% to 4.9% for the year ended 
December 31, 2013.

(1)  Other corporate general and administrative expenses include office expenses, insurance expense and 
other expenses, none of which are individually significant as a percentage of total corporate G&A 
expenses. 

The increase in G&A expenses as a percentage of revenue is primarily attributable to the increase of 
0.5% in professional fees. This increase is a result of CBIZ recording a recovery of legal fees in the fourth 
quarter of 2012 that was attributable to reimbursement of incurred legal expenses. 

Interest expense – Interest expense increased by $0.4 million to $15.4 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2013 from $15.0 million for 2012. The increase is primarily due to an increase in 
amortization of the discount related to the 2010 Notes as well as amortization of deferred debt costs 
related to the credit facility. Debt is further discussed under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and in Note 
8 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

Gain on sale of operations, net – The gain on sale of operations, net was $0.1 million and $2.8 million for 
the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The net gain in 2012 was primarily 
comprised of the $2.5 million gain recognized from the 2011 sale of the Company’s individual wealth 
management business. 

Other income, net – Other income, net is primarily comprised of adjustments to the fair value of 
investments held in a rabbi trust related to the deferred compensation plan, adjustments to contingent 
purchase price liabilities related to previous acquisitions, gains and losses on sales of assets, and other 
miscellaneous income and expenses such as contingent royalties from previous divestitures, proceeds 
from legal settlements and interest income. Adjustments to the fair value of investments related to the 
deferred compensation plan do not impact CBIZ’s net income as they are offset by the same adjustments 
to compensation expense (recorded as operating or corporate general and administrative expenses in the 
consolidated statements of comprehensive income). Other income, net for the year ended December 31,

2013 primarily consisted of an $8.2 gain in the fair value of investments related to the deferred 
compensation plan and interest income of $0.5 million, offset by adjustments to the fair value of the 
Company’s contingent purchase price liability related to prior acquisitions which resulted in other expense 
of $0.9 million. Other income, net for the year ended December 31, 2012 primarily consisted of a $4.3 
million gain in the fair value of investments related to the deferred compensation plan, proceeds from 
various legal settlements of $2.5 million, adjustments to the fair value of the Company’s contingent 
purchase price liability related to prior acquisitions which resulted in other income of $1.0 million, and 
interest income of $0.3 million.  

Income Taxes – CBIZ recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $16.4 million and 
$14.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The effective tax rate for 
the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was 39.7% and 38.2%, respectively. The increase in the 
effective tax rate is primarily due to an increase in state taxes driven by a  release of a valuation 
allowance in 2012 with respect to a state tax credit carryforward as well as a lower amount of valuations 
allowances released in 2013 compared to 2012 with respect to state net operating losses. For further 
discussion regarding income tax expense, see Note 7 to the accompanying consolidated financial 
statements. 

Earnings per share and Non-GAAP earnings per share – Earnings per share from continuing operations 
were $0.51 and $0.46 per diluted share for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 
Earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2012 included a gain of approximately $0.02 per 
diluted share related to a legal settlement recovery that was recorded in other income and a gain of 
approximately $0.03 per diluted share related to the divestiture of the wealth management business that 
occurred in the first quarter of 2011. 

Non-GAAP earnings per share were $1.08 and $0.92 per diluted share for the years ended December 31, 
2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company believes Non-GAAP earnings and Non-GAAP earnings per 
diluted share, which are both non-GAAP measures, illustrate the impact of certain non-cash charges to 
income from continuing operations and are a useful performance measure for the Company, its analysts 
and its stockholders. Management uses these performance measures to evaluate CBIZ’s business, 
including ongoing performance and the allocation of resources. Non-GAAP earnings and Non-GAAP 
earnings per diluted share are provided in addition to the presentation of GAAP measures and should not 
be regarded as a replacement or alternative of performance under GAAP.  

The following is a reconciliation of income from continuing operations to Non-GAAP earnings from 
operations and earnings per diluted share from continuing operations to Non-GAAP earnings per diluted 
share for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

The growth in same-unit revenue was approximately 65% attributable to stronger performance in the units 
that provide certain national services and 35% attributable to the traditional accounting and tax services. 
Growth in the national units was primarily due to increased project work in the federal and state 
governmental health care compliance industry as well as in risk and advisory services. The growth in the 
traditional accounting and tax services was due to a 0.7% increase in billable hours and a 1.3% increase 
in revenue per hour for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same period a year ago. 
Revenue from acquired businesses was the result of the acquisition of PHBV Partners, L.L.P. (“PHBV”), 
which occurred on December 31, 2012. 

CBIZ provides a range of services to affiliated CPA firms under joint referral and ASAs. Fees earned by 
CBIZ under the ASAs are recorded as revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of 
comprehensive income and were approximately $140.2 million and $116.1 million for the years ended 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in ASA fees was primarily the result of the 
PHBV acquisition. 

The largest components of operating expenses for the Financial Services practice group are personnel 
costs, occupancy costs, and travel and related costs which represented 89.3% and 89.1% of total 
operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Personnel costs 
increased $30.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, 
and represented 68.7% and 68.9% of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, 
respectively. The increase was largely attributable to the acquisition of PHBV, comprising $23.0 million of 
the variance, as well as a same-unit increase of $7.1 million due to increased headcount. Occupancy 
costs are relatively fixed in nature and were $25.2 million and $24.3 million, or 5.5% and 5.9% of revenue, 
for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in occupancy costs is 
related primarily to the PHBV acquisition. Travel and related costs were $14.8 million and $11.4 million, or 
3.2% and 2.8% of total revenue, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The 
increase in travel and related costs was due to a higher volume of engagement-related costs (which are 
billed to clients) and professional staff training efforts, as well as from the impact of the PHBV acquisition. 
In addition to the expenses discussed above, professional service costs were $6.2 million and $3.3 
million, or 1.4% and 0.8% of total revenue, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, 
respectively. The increase in professional service costs was associated with outside services related to 
client engagements for our federal and state governmental health care contracts.

The increase in same-unit revenue was attributable to several factors. Property and casualty revenues 
increased 5.1% due to better pricing throughout the industry as well as strong performance within the 
specialty program businesses. Payroll business revenues increased 5.0% primarily due to an increase in 
volume resulting from new clients coupled with pricing increases for core services. Retirement consulting 
revenues increased 4.3% due to net growth in assets resulting from client contributions and favorable 
equity market conditions. These increases were partially offset by a decline in the life insurance business 
of $2.5 million due to several large non-recurring policies that were placed in 2012. Excluding the impact 
of the life insurance business, same-unit revenue increased 2.1% for the year ended December 31, 2013 
compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. 

The growth in revenue from acquisitions was provided by: 

  Strategic Employee Benefit Services, an employee benefits client list in the Chicago, Illinois 

market that was acquired in the first quarter of 2012;  

  Primarily Care, Inc., an employee benefits business located in Cranston, Rhode Island that was 

acquired in the second quarter of 2012;  

  Stoltz and Company, LTD., L.L.P., a property and casualty insurance and employee benefits 
business headquartered in Midland, Texas that was acquired in the third quarter of 2012;  

  Trinity Risk Advisors, Inc., a property and casualty insurance business located in Atlanta, Georgia 

that was acquired in the third quarter of 2012;  

  Strategic Employee Benefit Services – The Pruett Group, Inc., an employee benefits business 
headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee that was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2012;  

  The employee benefit division of Leavitt Pacific Insurance Brokers, Inc., located in the San Jose, 

California market that was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2012;  

  Diversified Industries, Inc. d/b/a Payroll Control Systems, a payroll business in Minneapolis, 

Minnesota that was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2012; and  

  Associated Insurance Agents, a property and casualty and employee benefits business located in 

Minneapolis, Minnesota, that was acquired in the second quarter of 2013. 

The largest components of operating expenses for the Employee Services group are personnel costs, 
including commissions paid to third party brokers, and occupancy costs, representing 82.1% and 82.6% 
of total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Excluding 
costs related to the acquired businesses of $9.7 million, personnel costs increased approximately $0.5 
million, primarily due to commissions paid to producers relating to increased revenue in the property and 
casualty, payroll, and retirement services businesses. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed and were 
$11.3 million and $10.7 million the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 
increased due to the acquisitions in 2013.

The National Practices group is primarily comprised of a cost-plus contract with CBIZ’s largest client 
(Edward Jones) and CBIZ’s healthcare consulting business. Revenues from the Edward Jones business 
accounted for approximately 70% of the National Practice group’s revenue, with the healthcare consulting 
accounting for the remaining revenue. Effective December 31, 2013, CBIZ sold its mergers and 
acquisition business which comprises the divested operations reflected in the table above. 

The increase in same-unit revenue was attributable to an increase of $1.4 million resulting from an 
increase in services provided to Edward Jones as a result of an increase in required technology support 
as well as an increase in reimbursement dollars due to an increase in compensation.  

The largest components of operating expenses for the National Practices group are personnel costs, 
occupancy costs, and travel and related costs representing 94.5% and 94.0% of total operating expenses 
for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Personnel costs increased $1.0 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, and increased as a 
percentage of revenue to 82.9% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 80.6% of 
revenue for the same period last year. The increase in personnel costs is due primarily to increases in 
demand for services provided under the Edward Jones cost-plus contract arrangement as well as an 
increase in wages for annual raises. Travel and related costs were relatively consistent in both periods 
and were $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 
Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature and were $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 
2013 and 2012.

(1)  Other operating expenses include office expenses, equipment costs, restructuring charges, bad debt and 
other expenses, none of which are individually significant as a percentage of total operating expenses. 

Personnel costs as a percentage of revenue increased 0.6% to 67.9% for the year ended December 31, 
2012 compared to 2011. The increase in personnel costs as a percentage of revenue was primarily the 
result of a 0.3% increase in incentive compensation and a 0.3% increase in salaries and wages and 
related benefits costs resulting from an increase in headcount and personnel investments made in the 
Financial Services practice group. Personnel costs as a percentage of revenue experienced by the 
individual practice groups is discussed in further detail under “Operating Practice Groups”. The increase 
in deferred compensation costs of 0.7% resulted from adjustments to the fair value of investments held in 
the deferred compensation plan. The adjustments to the fair value of investments held in relation to the 
deferred compensation plan totaled a gain of $3.8 million and a loss of $0.7 million for the years ended 
December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These adjustments are recorded as compensation expense 
and are offset by the same adjustments to “other income, net”, and thus do not have an impact on net

individual practice groups.  

Corporate general and administrative expenses – Corporate general and administrative (“G&A”) 
expenses decreased by $1.3 million to $30.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, from $31.5 
million for 2011, and decreased as a percent of revenue by 0.5% to 4.8% for the year ended 
December 31, 2012.

(2)  Other corporate general and administrative expenses include office expenses, insurance expense and 
other expenses, none of which are individually significant as a percentage of total corporate G&A 
expenses. 

The decrease in G&A expenses as a percentage of revenue is primarily attributable to the decrease of 
0.3% in professional fees and 0.2% in legal settlement costs. The decrease in professional fees is a result 
of a reimbursement of incurred legal expenses in the fourth quarter of 2012. Also during the fourth quarter 
of 2012, CBIZ received favorable legal settlements. 

Interest expense – Interest expense decreased by $1.0 million to $15.0 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2012 from $16.0 million for 2011. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to the 
retirement of CBIZ’s 2006 Notes in 2011, which resulted in a $1.4 million decrease in interest expense. 
This was partially offset by an increase in amortization of the discount related to the 2010 Notes. Debt is 
further discussed under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and in Note 8 of the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements. 

Gain on sale of operations, net – The gain on sale of operations, net was $2.8 million and $2.9 million for 
the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The net gain in each period was primarily 
comprised of gains recognized from the 2011 sale of the Company’s individual wealth management 
business of $2.5 million and $2.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, 
respectively. The operating results of the individual wealth management business were included in the 
Employee Services practice group. 

Other income, net – Other income, net is primarily comprised of adjustments to the fair value of 
investments held in a rabbi trust related to the deferred compensation plan, adjustments to contingent 
purchase price liabilities related to previous acquisitions, gains and losses on sales of assets, and other 
miscellaneous income and expenses such as contingent royalties from previous divestitures, proceeds 
from legal settlements and interest income. Adjustments to the fair value of investments related to the 
deferred compensation plan do not impact CBIZ’s net income as they are offset by the same adjustments 
to compensation expense (recorded as operating or corporate general and administrative expenses in the

consolidated statements of comprehensive income). Other income, net for the year ended December 31, 
2012 primarily consisted of a $4.3 million gain in the fair value of investments related to the deferred 
compensation plan, proceeds from various legal settlements of $2.5 million, adjustments to the fair value 
of the Company’s contingent purchase price liability related to prior acquisitions which resulted in other 
income of $1.0 million, and interest income of $0.3 million. Other income, net for the year ended 
December 31, 2011 primarily consisted of adjustments to the fair value of the Company’s contingent 
purchase price liability related to prior acquisitions which resulted in other income of $3.5 million and 
interest income of $0.2 million. The adjustment to the contingent liability and interest income was partially 
offset by a $0.4 million loss in the fair value of investments related to the deferred compensation plan and 
a reserve of $0.4 million established on a note receivable.  

Income Taxes – CBIZ recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $14.1 million and 
$12.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The effective tax rate for 
the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was 38.2% and 38.8%, respectively. The decrease in the 
effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 2011 primarily relates to the release of a 
valuation allowance with respect to a state tax credit carryforward in 2012. For further discussion 
regarding income tax expense, see Note 7 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

Earnings per share and Non-GAAP earnings per share – Earnings per share from continuing operations 
were $0.46 and $0.39 per diluted share for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 
Earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2012 included a gain of approximately $0.02 per 
diluted share related to a legal settlement recovery that was recorded in other income, net. Earnings per 
share for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 included a gain of approximately $0.03 and 
$0.02, respectively, per diluted share related to the divestiture of the wealth management business that 
occurred in the first quarter of 2011. 

Non-GAAP earnings per share were $0.92 and $0.79 per diluted share for the years ended December 31, 
2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company believes Non-GAAP earnings and Non-GAAP earnings per 
diluted share, which are both non-GAAP measures, illustrate the impact of certain non-cash charges to 
income from continuing operations and are a useful performance measure for the Company, its analysts 
and its stockholders. Management uses these performance measures to evaluate CBIZ’s business, 
including ongoing performance and the allocation of resources. Non-GAAP earnings and Non-GAAP 
earnings per diluted share are provided in addition to the presentation of GAAP measures and should not 
be regarded as a replacement or alternative of performance under GAAP.  

The following is a reconciliation of income from continuing operations to Non-GAAP earnings from 
operations and earnings per diluted share from continuing operations to Non-GAAP earnings per diluted 
share for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The increase in same-unit revenue was primarily the result of strong performance in the units that provide 
certain national services, offset in part by a decrease in revenue in the core accounting units. Growth in 
the national units of 18.6% was primarily due to increased project work, primarily in the federal and state 
governmental health care consulting and compliance business. Revenue in the core accounting units 
decreased 1% due to a corresponding decrease in hours charged. Revenue from acquired businesses 
was the result of the acquisition of Thompson Dunavant PLC (“Thompson Dunavant”), located in 
Memphis, Tennessee, that was acquired on August 1, 2011, and Gresham Smith LLC (“Gresham Smith”), 
located in Tulsa, Oklahoma and St. Louis, Missouri, that was acquired on October 1, 2011. 

CBIZ provides a range of services to affiliated CPA firms under joint referral and administrative service 
agreements (“ASAs”). Fees earned by CBIZ under the ASAs are recorded as revenue in the 
accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income and were approximately $116.1 million 
and $109.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in ASA 
fees was the result of growth in the units that provide national services, as well as the impact of the 
acquisitions. 

The largest components of operating expenses for the Financial Services practice group are personnel 
costs, occupancy costs, and travel and related costs which represented 89.1% and 88.5% of total 
operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Personnel costs 
increased $19.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, 
and represented 79.1% and 78.4% of total operating expenses and 68.9% and 67.7% of revenue for the 
years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase was primarily due to investments 
in resources expected to enhance revenue growth at several units, including the addition of teams of 
professionals to enhance the Company’s state and local tax services and the forensic accounting 
practice, as well as a team of business development managers located throughout the country. These 
investments account for approximately $1.9 million of the increase in personnel costs. In addition to these 
investments, headcount at the units providing national services increased in response to the increase in 
demand. Included in the increase in personnel costs is the impact of the acquisitions of Thompson 
Dunavant and Gresham Smith, which accounted for approximately $6.8 million of the increase. Lastly, 
overall incentive compensation increased for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 2011. 
Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature and were $24.3 million for the year ended December 31, 
2012 compared to $23.7 million for the same period in the prior year and were 5.9% and 6.1% of total 
revenue, respectively. Travel and related costs were $11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 
compared to $10.2 million in 2011, and represented 2.8% and 2.6% of total revenue, respectively. The 
increase in travel and related costs was due mostly to increased client development. Bad debt expense 
decreased $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period a year ago, 
and was 1.2% and 1.5% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The decrease in same-unit revenue was primarily attributable to declines in the Company’s employee 
benefits and life insurance businesses, offset by increases in the property and casualty, payroll services, 
and retirement plan consulting businesses. The decrease in employee benefits revenue of $2.3 million is 
primarily due to continued competitive pressures and client plan design changes. The decrease in life 
insurance revenue of $1.7 million is due to lower client demand for life insurance plans. Partially offsetting 
these decreases was an increase in the Company’s property and casualty brokerage revenue of $1.7 
million due to pricing increases and an increase in volume-based carrier bonus payments, an increase in 
the Company’s payroll business of $1.4 million due to higher pricing trends for payroll and related 
services, and an increase in retirement plan consulting services of $1.0 million due to favorable trends in 
equity markets and an increase in demand for actuarial consulting services. 

The growth in revenue from acquisitions was provided by:  

  Multiple Benefits Services, an employee benefits business located in Atlanta, Georgia that was 

acquired on August 1, 2011;  

  PSA Insurance, a retirement advisory business located in Baltimore, Maryland that was acquired 

on November 1, 2011;  

  Advantage Benefit Planning, an employee benefits business located in Pleasantville, New Jersey 

that was acquired on December 30, 2011;  

  Meridian, a property and casualty insurance and employee benefits business headquartered in 
Boca Raton, Florida with an office in Atlanta, Georgia that was acquired on January 1, 2012;  

  Strategic Employee Benefit Services, an employee benefits client list in the Chicago, Illinois 

market that was acquired on February 1, 2012;  

  PCI, an employee benefits business located in Cranston, Rhode Island that was acquired on May 

1, 2012;  

  Stoltz, a property and casualty insurance and employee benefits business headquartered in 

Midland, Texas that was acquired on July 1, 2012;  

  Trinity, a property and casualty insurance business located in Atlanta, Georgia that was acquired 

on September 1, 2012;  

  SEBS-Pruett, an employee benefits business headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee that was 

acquired on October 1, 2012;  

  Leavitt, an employee benefits business in the San Jose, California market that was acquired on 

November 1, 2012. 

The largest components of operating expenses for the Employee Services group are personnel costs, 
which include commissions paid to third party brokers, and occupancy costs, representing 82.6% and 
82.8% of total operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 
Personnel costs increased approximately $7.7 million, primarily as a result of the acquired businesses. 
Personnel costs represented 63.1% and 64.2% of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 
2011, respectively. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature and were $10.7 million and $9.8 million

The National Practices group is primarily comprised of a cost-plus contract with CBIZ’s largest client 
(Edward Jones), healthcare consulting, and the Company’s mergers and acquisition business. Revenues 
from the Edward Jones business account for approximately two-thirds of the National Practice group’s 
revenue, with the healthcare consulting and mergers and acquisitions accounting for the remaining 
revenue.  

The decrease in revenue was attributable to a decrease of $1.1 million in the mergers and acquisitions 
business as a result of earning success fees of $0.7 million for completing one transaction during the year 
ended December 31, 2012 compared to success fees of $1.8 million for completing three transactions in 
2011. This decrease was substantially offset by an increase of $0.5 million in services provided to Edward 
Jones and $0.4 million from the healthcare consulting business. The increase in the Edward Jones 
revenue was primarily a result of an increase in required technology support as well as an increase in 
reimbursement dollars due to an increase in compensation. The increase in the healthcare consulting 
business was primarily due to an increase in Medicaid eligibility services provided to clients and an 
increase in consulting fees related to healthcare reform regulations. 

The largest components of operating expenses for the National Practices group are personnel costs, 
occupancy costs, and travel and related costs representing 94.0% and 94.2% of total operating expenses 
for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Personnel costs increased $0.4 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, and increased as a 
percentage of revenue to 80.6% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 78.6% of 
revenue for the same period in 2011. The increase in personnel costs is due primarily to increases in 
wages for annual raises. Travel and related costs were consistent in both periods and were $0.4 million 
for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Occupancy costs are relatively fixed in nature and 
were $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Financial Condition 

Total assets were $897.5 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $72.7 million versus December 31, 
2012. Current assets of $350.5 million exceeded current liabilities of $267.4 million by $83.1 million. 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.1 million to $0.8 million at December 31, 2013 from $0.9 
million at December 31, 2012. CBIZ historically maintains low cash levels and applies any available cash 
to pay down the outstanding debt balance. Restricted cash was $22.1 million at December 31, 2013, an 
increase of $2.5 million from $19.6 million at December 31, 2012. Restricted cash represents those funds 
held in connection with CBIZ's Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) regulated businesses 
and funds held in connection with the pass through of insurance premiums to various carriers. Cash and 
restricted cash fluctuate during the year based on the timing of cash receipts and cash payments. 
Accounts receivable, net, were $143.1 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $8.1 million from 
December 31, 2012, and days sales outstanding (“DSO”) from continuing operations were 74 days and 
76 days at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. DSO represents accounts 
receivable and unbilled revenue (net of realization adjustments) at the end of the period, divided by 
trailing twelve months daily revenue. CBIZ provides DSO data because such data is commonly used as a 
performance measure by analysts and investors and as a measure of the Company's ability to collect on 
receivables in a timely manner. 

Deferred income taxes – current decreased by $3.3 million to $4.6 million at December 31, 2013 from 
$7.9 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease in the net deferred current asset was primarily due to a 
change in tax accounting method that accelerated the tax deduction for certain accrued expenses and the 
transfer of certain deferred tax liabilities from deferred income taxes – non-current to deferred income 
taxes – current. 

Other current assets were $14.4 million and $10.9 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 
respectively. Other current assets are primarily comprised of prepaid assets, rent deposits, and notes 
receivable. Balances may fluctuate during the year based upon the timing of cash payments, amortization 
of prepaid expenses, and activity related to notes receivable. 

Funds held for clients of $164.4 million and $154.4 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, 
and client fund obligations of $164.3 million and $154.1 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, 
respectively, primarily relate to CBIZ’s payroll services business. The balances in these accounts 
fluctuate with the timing of cash receipts and the related cash payments. Client fund obligations can differ 
from funds held for clients due to changes in the market value of the underlying investments. The nature 
of these accounts is further described in Note 1 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

Property and equipment, net, increased by $1.4 million to $19.2 million at December 31, 2013 from $17.8 
million at December 31, 2012. The increase is the result of capital expenditures of $6.2 million partially 
offset by depreciation and amortization expense of $4.8 million. CBIZ’s property and equipment is 
primarily comprised of software, hardware, furniture and leasehold improvements.  

Goodwill and other intangible assets, net decreased by $0.5 million to $469.1 at December 31, 2013 from 
$469.6 at December 31, 2012. This decrease is the result of amortization expense of $14.1 million, offset 
by $9.6 million and $4.0 million of net additions to goodwill and intangible assets from acquisitions, 
respectively. 

Assets of the deferred compensation plan represent participant deferral accounts and are directly offset 
by deferred compensation plan obligations. Assets of the deferred compensation plan were $52.0 million 
and $39.8 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The increase in assets of 
the deferred compensation plan of $12.2 million consisted of net participant contributions of $4.1 million 
and an increase in the fair value of the investments of $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. 
The plan is described in further detail in Note 13 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

The accounts payable balances of $37.5 million and $35.4 million at December 31, 2013 and 
December 31, 2012, respectively, reflect amounts due to suppliers and vendors. Balances fluctuate 

38 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
during the year based on the timing of cash payments. Accrued personnel costs were $38.6 million and 
$34.9 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and represent amounts due 
for payroll, payroll taxes, employee benefits and incentive compensation. Balances fluctuate during the 
year based on the timing of payments and adjustments to the estimate of incentive compensation costs. 

Income taxes payable was $25 thousand and $1.4 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, 
and was primarily due to timing differences between current income taxes expense and related tax 
payments. 

Notes payable – current decreased by $3.9 million to $1.6 million at December 31, 2013 from $5.5 million 
at December 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to payments made to owners of businesses 
acquired by CBIZ as a result of purchase price adjustments and deferred payments in the amount of $5.0 
million as well as guaranteed purchase price payments made of $0.5 million related to prior year business 
acquisitions. This decrease was partially offset due to long-term portions of notes related to guaranteed 
purchase price of $1.2 million being reclassified from non-current to current and new notes payable of 
$0.4 million resulting from businesses acquired in 2013. 

Contingent purchase price liabilities (current and non-current) are comprised of purchase price liabilities 
that arise from business acquisitions. Contingent purchase price liabilities (current and non-current) 
decreased by $4.8 million to $25.2 million at December 31, 2013 from $30.0 million at December 31, 
2012. The decrease in the contingent liability was due to payments of $11.5 million made during 2013, 
partially offset by an increase of $5.5 million from current year business acquisitions, adjustments to the 
fair value of the contingency purchase price liabilities of $1.1 million and $0.1 of net present value 
adjustments to the liabilities.  

Other liabilities (current and non-current) decreased by $1.0 million to $23.5 million at December 31, 2013 
from $24.5 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease of $1.6 
million in unearned revenues due to the completion of performance of services, a decrease of $1.2 million 
of guaranteed purchase price related to business acquisitions, a decrease of $0.8 million to the self-
funded health insurance accrual due to expected decreases in payments for claims not reported until after 
year end, a decrease of $0.4 million in the fair value adjustment related to the Company’s swap 
agreement and a decrease of $0.3 million in restructuring liabilities as a result of payments made. These 
decreases were partially offset by an increase of $2.7 million in accrued lease costs due to entering into 
new lease agreements related to recently acquired businesses and an increase of $0.8 million in legal 
reserves based on current claim activities. 

CBIZ’s convertible notes are carried at face value less unamortized discount. The $2.8 million increase in 
the carrying value of the convertible notes at December 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012 
represents the discount amortization on the 2010 Notes, which is recognized as non-cash interest 
expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The convertible notes are further 
described in Note 8 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

Bank debt for amounts due on CBIZ’s credit facility decreased $160.4 million to $48.5 million at 
December 31, 2013 from $208.9 million at December 31, 2012. This decrease was primarily attributable 
to using the proceeds from the sale of MMP to pay down outstanding debt. 
Income taxes payable – non-current at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $6.2 million and 
$4.0 million, respectively, and represents the accrual for uncertain tax positions. The increase of $2.2 
million primarily relates to reserves for state income taxes. Income taxes are further discussed in Note 7 
of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  

Stockholders’ equity increased by $79.2 million to $374.4 million at December 31, 2013 from $295.2 
million at December 31, 2012. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily attributable to net 
income of $85.9 million, CBIZ’s stock award programs which contributed $17.7 million and the issuance 
of $2.1 million in common shares related to business acquisitions. These increases were partially offset 
by CBIZ’s repurchase of 3.9 shares at a cost of $25.7 million subject to the Westbury Agreement and the 
repurchase of 0.1 million shares at a cost of $0.8 million related to shares repurchased in conjunction with 
the settlement of restricted stock transactions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

CBIZ's principal source of net operating cash is derived from the collection of fees and commissions for 
professional services and products rendered to its clients. CBIZ supplements net operating cash with a 
$275 million unsecured credit facility and $130 million in 2010 Notes.  

CBIZ maintains a $275 million unsecured credit facility with Bank of America as agent bank for a group of 
seven participating banks. The credit facility also has a letter of credit sub-facility. On April 11, 2011, the 
credit facility was amended to extend the maturity date one year to June 2015, reduce interest on 
outstanding balances, reduce commitment fees on the unused borrowing limit, and adjust the leverage 
ratio limits to provide CBIZ with more flexibility. On August 30, 2012, the credit facility was further 
amended to modify the senior and total leverage requirements and provide a temporary increase in the 
leverage ratios for twelve months, at which time the leverage ratios will step down to the leverage 
schedule prescribed by the 2011 amendment. The purpose of the amendment was to provide additional 
flexibility to support CBIZ’s strategic acquisitions. At December 31, 2013, CBIZ had $48.5 million 
outstanding under its credit facility and had letters of credit and performance guarantees totaling $4.4 
million. Available funds under the credit facility, based on the terms of the commitment, were 
approximately $99.8 million at December 31, 2013. Management believes that cash generated from 
operations, combined with the available funds from the credit facility, provides CBIZ the financial 
resources needed to meet business requirements for the foreseeable future, including capital 
expenditures and working capital requirements. 

The credit facility also allows for the allocation of funds for strategic initiatives, including acquisitions and 
the repurchase of CBIZ common stock. Under the credit facility, CBIZ is required to meet certain financial 
covenants with respect to (i) minimum net worth; (ii) maximum total and senior leverage ratios; and (iii) a 
minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. CBIZ believes it is in compliance with its covenants as of 
December 31, 2013. CBIZ’s ability to service its debt and to fund strategic initiatives will depend upon its 
ability to generate cash in the future.  

The 2010 Notes were issued to qualified institutional buyers on September 27, 2010 and mature on 
October 1, 2015. The holders of the 2010 Notes may convert their 2010 Notes any time on or after 
July 31, 2015. Concurrent with the closing of the 2010 Notes, a portion of the proceeds was used to 
repurchase $60 million of the $100 million outstanding 2006 Notes through privately negotiated 
transactions. During 2011, an additional $39.3 million of the 2006 Notes were repurchased, which leaves 
a remaining balance of $750,000 of 2006 Notes outstanding at December 31, 2013. See Note 8 to the 
accompanying financial statements for further discussion of CBIZ’s debt instruments. 

In addition to the debt instruments previously mentioned, CBIZ may obtain, at a future date, additional 
funding by offering equity securities or debt through public or private markets.

Sources and Uses of Cash 

As a result of the classification of MMP as a discontinued operation and the subsequent sale of MMP in 
2013, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows has been restated to reflect the net income from MMP 
operations as an adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities. In 
addition, the cash flows from MMP operations are reflected in a separate line item within the operating 
and investing sections of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  

Included in cash flows used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 was cash paid 
for taxes of $47.5 million related to the gain on sale of MMP. Cash flows provided by operating activities 
from continuing operations were $41.5 million, $39.5 million and $42.8 million for the years ended 
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

The following table summarizes cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the years 
ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

Operating Activities 

Cash flows from operating activities represent net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and 
changes in assets and liabilities. CBIZ typically experiences a net use of cash from operations during the 
first quarter of its fiscal year, as accounts receivable balances grow in response to the seasonal increase 
in first quarter revenue generated by the Financial Services practice group (primarily for accounting and 
tax services). This net use of cash is followed by strong operating cash flow during the second and third 
quarters, as a significant amount of revenue generated by the Financial Services practice group during 
the first four months of the year are billed and collected in subsequent quarters. Non-cash adjustments to 
net income mentioned below mainly consist of depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of intangible 
assets including client lists and non-compete agreements, amortization of the discount on convertible 
notes and deferred financing fees, provision for bad debts, adjustments to contingent purchase price 
liabilities, deferred income tax expense and stock-based compensation expense.  

During the year ended December 31, 2013, net cash used in operating activities was $1.5 million and 
primarily consisted of net gains on the sale of operations and the discontinued operations transactions 
totaling $61.0 million and negative changes in working capital of $17.7 million. These uses were offset by 
net income of $85.9 million and non-cash adjustments to net income of $34.3 million. Net gains on the 
sale of operations and discontinued operations primarily result from the sale of MMP. Working capital use 
of cash primarily resulted from an increase in accounts receivable due to the growth in revenue. Cash 
used in discontinued operations was $43.0 million, which included $47.5 million cash paid for income 
taxes related to the gain on sale of MMP. 

During the year ended December 31, 2012, net cash provided by operating activities was $54.0 million 
and primarily consisted of net income of $31.1 million and non-cash adjustments to net income of $29.6 
million, partially offset by net gains on the sale of operations and the discontinued operations transactions 
totaling $11.2 million and negative changes in working capital of $10.1 million. Working capital resulted in 
a use of cash primarily from an increase in accounts receivable due to an increase in revenue resulting 
from the fourth quarter business acquisitions. Other impacts to the change in working capital include an 
increase in accounts payable due to increased activity from the acquisitions and the ongoing effort to 
manage payables, the increase in accrued compensation incentive accruals and the increase in income 
taxes payable due to the timing of tax payments. Cash provided by discontinued operations was $14.5 
million.  

41 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
During the year ended December 31, 2011, net cash provided by operating activities was $58.2 million 
and primarily consisted of net income of $28.0 million and non-cash adjustments to net income of $27.0 
million. Partially offsetting these sources of cash were a net gain on the sale of operations and 
discontinued operations transactions totaling $11.8 million and net changes in working capital of $0.4 
million. Cash provided by discontinued operations was $15.4 million. 

Investing Activities 

CBIZ’s investing activities typically result in a net use of cash, and generally consist of payments for 
business acquisitions and client lists, contingent payments associated with business acquisitions that 
occurred prior to 2009, purchases of capital equipment, net activity related to funds held for clients, and 
proceeds received from sales of divestitures and discontinued operations. Capital expenditures consisted 
of investments in technology, leasehold improvements and purchases of furniture and equipment. 

Cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 primarily consisted of $200.9 
million from proceeds from the sale of divested and discontinued operations (primarily the sale of MMP) 
and $0.5 million from net additions to notes receivable resulting from acquisition activities in 2013 and 
from the sale of MMP. Cash provided by investing activities was partially offset by $9.7 million of net cash 
used for business acquisitions and contingent payments on prior acquisitions, net activity related to funds 
held for clients of $10.2 million and capital expenditures of $6.2 million. Cash used in discontinued 
operations was $0.3 million. 

Investing uses of cash during the year ended December 31, 2012 primarily consisted of $88.3 million of 
net cash used for business acquisitions and contingent payments on prior acquisitions, net activity related 
to funds held for clients of $5.1 million, capital expenditures of $2.4 million, and additions to notes 
receivable of $3.4 million relating to acquisition activities. These uses of cash were partially offset by $1.5 
million of proceeds from the sale of divested and discontinued operations. Cash used in discontinued 
operations was $6.7 million. 

Investing uses of cash during the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily consisted of $27.4 million of 
net cash used for business acquisitions and contingent payments on prior acquisitions, net activity related 
to funds held for clients of $24.9 million, and capital expenditures of $3.9 million. These uses of cash 
were partially offset by $1.0 million of proceeds from the sale of divested and discontinued operations. 
Cash used in discontinued operations was $0.4 million. 

Financing Activities 

CBIZ’s financing cash flows typically consist of net borrowing and payment activity from the credit facility, 
the issuance and repayment of debt instruments, repurchases of CBIZ common stock, payments of 
contingent consideration on business acquisitions, net change in client fund obligations, and proceeds 
from the exercise of stock options.  

Net cash used in financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2013 included $160.4 million 
used to pay down the credit facility, $26.5 million used to repurchase shares of CBIZ common stock, 
$10.4 million in payments for contingent consideration included as part of the initial measurement of prior 
business acquisitions and $0.6 million in payments on notes payable. These uses of cash were partially 
offset by $14.0 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and a $10.2 million net change in 
client fund obligations as a result of timing of cash received and payments made. 

Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2012 primarily consisted of 
$63.9 million in net proceeds on the credit facility and a net change of $5.1 million in client fund 
obligations as a result of timing of cash received and payments made. These proceeds were partially 
offset by $13.2 million in payments for contingent consideration included as part of the initial 
measurement of prior business acquisitions, $5.7 million to repurchase shares of CBIZ common stock 
and $0.6 million for debt issuance costs related to the amendment to the credit facility.

Net cash used in financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2011 included $39.3 million 
used to repay the 2006 Notes at par, $9.5 million used to repurchase shares of CBIZ common stock, $1.8 
million in payments for contingent consideration included as part of the initial measurement of prior 
business acquisitions, and $0.6 million in cash used to pay for debt issuance costs related to the 
amendment of the credit facility. These uses of cash were substantially offset by sources of cash which 
include $26.1 million in net proceeds on the credit facility, net change of $22.4 million in client fund 
obligations as a result of timing of cash received and payments made, and $0.9 million in proceeds from 
the exercise of stock options, including tax benefits.

The above table does not reflect $5.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits, which the Company has 
recorded for uncertain tax positions as CBIZ is unable to determine a reasonably reliable estimate of the 
timing of the future payments. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

CBIZ maintains ASA’s with independent CPA firms (as described more fully under “Business – Financial 
Services” and in Note 1 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements), which qualify as variable 
interest entities. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect the operations or 
accounts of variable interest entities as the impact is not material to the consolidated financial condition, 
results of operations, or cash flows of CBIZ. 

CBIZ provides guarantees of performance obligations for a CPA firm with which CBIZ maintains an ASA. 
Potential obligations under the guarantees totaled $1.9 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012. CBIZ has 

43 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
recognized a liability for the fair value of the obligations undertaken in issuing these guarantees. The 
liability is recorded as other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. CBIZ 
does not expect it will be required to make payments under these guarantees. 

CBIZ provides letters of credit to landlords (lessors) of its leased premises in lieu of cash security 
deposits. Letters of credit totaled $2.5 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012. In addition, CBIZ provides 
license bonds to various state agencies to meet certain licensing requirements. The amount of license 
bonds outstanding was $2.4 million and $2.7 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 

CBIZ has various agreements under which the Company may be obligated to indemnify the other party 
with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification clauses are included in contracts arising 
in the normal course of business under which the Company customarily agrees to hold the other party 
harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, 
related to matters such as title to assets sold and certain tax matters. Payment by CBIZ under such 
indemnification clauses are generally conditioned upon the other party making a claim. Such claims are 
typically subject to challenge by CBIZ and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular 
contract. Further, CBIZ’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or 
amount and, in some instances, CBIZ may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made 
by CBIZ. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these 
indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of CBIZ’s obligations and the unique facts of 
each particular agreement. Historically, CBIZ has not made any payments under these agreements that 
have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2013, CBIZ was not aware of 
any obligations arising under indemnification agreements that would require material payments. 

Interest Rate Risk Management 

CBIZ periodically uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk exposure. The interest rate swaps 
effectively mitigate CBIZ’s exposure to interest rate risk, primarily through converting portions of the 
floating rate debt under the credit facility to a fixed rate basis. These agreements involve the receipt or 
payment of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the 
agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, 
CBIZ had a total of $40.0 million notional amount of interest rate swaps, of which $15 million will expire in 
June 2014 and the remaining $25 million will expire in June 2015. Management will continue to evaluate 
the potential use of interest rate swaps as it deems appropriate under certain operating and market 
conditions. CBIZ does not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.  

CBIZ carries $130.0 million in 2010 Notes bearing a fixed interest rate of 4.875%. The 2010 Notes mature 
on October 1, 2015 and may not be converted before July 31, 2015. CBIZ believes the fixed nature of 
these borrowings mitigate its interest rate risk.  

In connection with payroll services provided to clients, CBIZ collects funds from its clients’ accounts in 
advance of paying these client obligations. These funds held for clients are segregated and invested in 
accordance with the Company’s investment policy, which requires that all investments carry an 
investment grade rating at the time of initial investment. The interest income on these investments 
mitigates the interest rate risk for the borrowing costs of CBIZ’s credit facility, as the rates on both the 
investments and the outstanding borrowings against the credit facility are based on market conditions. 

Critical Accounting Policies 

Significant accounting policies are described more fully in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated 
financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the 
Company to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in its 
financial statements. CBIZ’s management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions 
that it believes are reasonable under the related facts and circumstances. The application of these critical 
accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions for future uncertainties. 

44 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. The policies discussed below 
address the most critical accounting policies which are the most important to the portrayal of CBIZ’s 
financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.  

Revenue Recognition 

Revenue is recognized only when all of the following are present: persuasive evidence of an arrangement 
exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the fee to the client is fixed or 
determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Contract terms are typically contained in a signed 
agreement with the client (or when applicable, other third parties) which generally defines the scope of 
services to be provided, pricing of services, and payment terms generally ranging from invoice date to 90 
days after invoice date. Billing may occur prior to, during, or upon completion of the service. CBIZ typically 
does not have acceptance provisions or right of refund arrangements included in these agreements. 
Contract terms vary depending on the scope of services provided, the deliverables, and the complexity of 
the engagement. CBIZ offers a vast array of products and business services to its clients. Those services 
are delivered through three practice groups. A description of revenue recognition, as it relates to those 
groups, is provided in more detail in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

Valuation of Accounts Receivable and Notes Receivable 

Management determines the valuation of accounts receivable (including unbilled accounts receivable) 
and notes receivable, and the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts based on estimates of 
losses related to the respective receivable balance. Management analyzes historical bad debts, client 
credit-worthiness, the age of accounts receivable and current economic trends and conditions when 
evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts and the collectability of notes receivable. 
Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with 
establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts for each accounting period. Material differences may 
result if facts and circumstances change in relation to the original estimation. 

Valuation of Goodwill 

CBIZ utilizes the acquisition method of accounting for all business combinations. In accordance with 
GAAP, goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of 
each year. Impairment testing may be performed between annual tests if an event occurs or 
circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its 
carrying value.  

During the fourth quarter of 2013 and 2012, CBIZ applied the principles as prescribed in Financial 
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350 “Intangibles 
– Goodwill and Other” in order to complete its goodwill impairment tests. CBIZ based its goodwill 
impairment testing on a qualitative assessment for each of its reporting units that carried a goodwill 
balance. The qualitative assessment included an in-depth analysis of many factors, including general 
economic conditions, industry and market conditions, a broad scope of financial factors, the Company’s 
weighted average cost of capital, changes in management and key personnel, the price of the Company’s 
common stock, as well as other drivers of a fair value analysis. As part of the qualitative analysis, many 
estimates and assumptions were made that related to future economic trends, client behaviors, and other 
factors, all of which are beyond the control of management. As a result of the Company’s qualitative 
assessment, it was concluded that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each of its reporting 
units was greater than its carrying value.  

Long-Lived Assets 

Long-lived assets primarily consist of property and equipment and intangible assets, which include client 
lists and non-compete agreements. The intangible assets are amortized over their expected periods of 
benefit, which generally ranges from two to fifteen years. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment 
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets or groups of 
assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets or groups of assets is assessed based 

45 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
on a comparison of the undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If an impairment is 
indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis or 
market comparable method. Determining the fair value of long-lived assets includes significant judgment 
by management, and different judgments could yield different results. 

Loss Contingencies 

Loss contingencies, including litigation claims, are recorded as liabilities when it is probable that a liability 
has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Contingent liabilities are often 
resolved over long time periods. Estimating probable losses requires analysis that often depends on 
judgment about potential actions by third parties. 

Incentive Compensation  

Determining the amount of expense to recognize for incentive compensation at interim and annual 
reporting dates involves management judgment. Expenses accrued for incentive compensation are based 
upon expected financial results for the year, and the ultimate determination of incentive compensation is 
unable to be made until after year-end results are finalized. Thus, amounts accrued are subject to change 
in future interim periods if actual future financial results are higher or lower than expected. In arriving at 
the amount of expense to recognize, management believes it makes reasonable judgments using all 
significant information available. 

Income Taxes 

Determining the consolidated provision for income tax expense, income tax liabilities and deferred tax 
assets and liabilities involves management judgment. Management estimates an annual effective tax rate 
(which takes into consideration expected full-year results), which is applied to the Company’s quarterly 
operating results to determine the provision for income tax expense. In the event there is a significant, 
unusual or infrequent item recognized in the quarterly operating results, the tax attributable to that item is 
recorded in the interim period in which it occurs. In addition, reserves are established for uncertain tax 
positions and contingencies. See Note 1 and Note 7 to the accompanying consolidated financial 
statements for further information. 

Circumstances that could cause CBIZ’s estimates of effective income tax rates to change include the 
impact of information that subsequently becomes available as CBIZ prepares its corporate income tax 
returns; the level of actual pre-tax income; revisions to tax positions and valuation allowances taken as a 
result of further analysis and consultation; the receipt and expected utilization of federal and state income 
tax credits; and changes mandated as a result of audits by taxing authorities. Management believes it 
makes reasonable judgments using all significant information available when estimating income taxes. 

Other Significant Policies 

Other significant accounting policies, not involving the same level of management judgment and 
uncertainty as those discussed above, are also critical in understanding the consolidated financial 
statements. Those policies are described in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial 
statements. 

New Accounting Pronouncements 

In July 2013, the FASB issue Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11 (“ASU 2013-11”) 
“Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss 
Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”. ASU 2013-11 states that an 
unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial 
statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward, a similar 
tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. The exception to this treatment is as follows: to the extent an NOL 
carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date or if the 

46 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
entity is not required to use and does not intend to use the deferred tax asset, then the unrecognized tax 
benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with 
deferred tax assets. ASU 2013-11 will not require any additional recurring disclosures. ASU 2013-11 will 
be effective for the reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. CBIZ is currently evaluating the 
impact of adopting ASU 2013-11, but currently believes there will be no significant impact on its 
consolidated financial statements. 

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. 

CBIZ's floating rate debt under its credit facility exposes the Company to interest rate risk. Interest rate 
risk results when the maturity or repricing intervals of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing 
liabilities are different. A change in the Federal Funds Rate, or the reference rate set by Bank of America, 
N.A., would affect the rate at which CBIZ could borrow funds under its credit facility. CBIZ’s balance 
outstanding under its credit facility at December 31, 2013 was $48.5 million, of which only $8.5 million is 
subject to rate risk as $40.0 million is subject to CBIZ’s interest rate swap. If market rates were to 
increase or decrease 100 basis points from the levels at December 31, 2013, interest expense would 
increase or decrease approximately $0.1 million annually.  

CBIZ does not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments. CBIZ periodically uses interest rate 
swaps to manage interest rate risk exposure. The interest rate swaps effectively modify the Company’s 
exposure to interest rate risk, primarily through converting portions of its floating rate debt under the credit 
facility to a fixed rate basis. These agreements involve the receipt or payment of floating rate amounts in 
exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreements without an exchange of the 
underlying principal amounts. At December 31, 2013, CBIZ had a total of $40.0 million notional amount of 
interest rate swaps, of which $15 million will expire in June 2014 and the remaining $25 million will expire 
in June 2015. Management will continue to evaluate the potential use of interest rate swaps as it deems 
appropriate under certain operating and market conditions. See Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated 
financial statements for further discussion regarding interest rate swaps. 

In connection with CBIZ’s payroll business, funds held for clients are segregated and invested in short-
term investments, such as corporate and municipal bonds. In accordance with the Company’s investment 
policy, all investments carry an investment grade rating at the time of the initial investment. At each 
respective balance sheet date, these investments are adjusted to fair value with fair value adjustments 
being recorded to other comprehensive income or loss for the respective period. See Notes 5 and 6 to the 
accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding these investments and 
the related fair value assessments.  

Item 8.  Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures. 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures 
(“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation (“Controls 
Evaluation”) was done with the participation of CBIZ’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and 
Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Disclosure Controls are controls and other procedures that are designed 
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that CBIZ files or 
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time 
periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure Controls include, without limitation, controls 
and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by CBIZ in the reports that it 
files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and 
CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls 

Management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, does not expect that its Disclosure Controls or its 
internal control over financial reporting (“Internal Controls”) will prevent all error and all fraud. Although 
CBIZ’s Disclosure Controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objective, a 
control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not 
absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met. Further, any control system reflects 
limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. 
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute 
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within CBIZ have been detected. These 
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that 
breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by 
the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of a 
control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future 
events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all 
potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, 
or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent 
limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not 
be detected. 

Conclusions 

Based upon the Controls Evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of 
the period covered by this report, CBIZ’s Disclosure Controls are effective at the reasonable assurance 
level described above. 

There were no changes in the Company’s Internal Controls that occurred during the quarter ended 
December 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, CBIZ’s 
Internal Controls. 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control 
over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. 
Under the supervision of management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, CBIZ conducted an 
evaluation of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework provided in Internal 
Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway Commission (the COSO Framework). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management 
has concluded that CBIZ’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013.

for the 2014 Annual Stockholders' Meeting to be filed with the SEC no later than 120 days after the end of 
CBIZ's fiscal year. 

Item 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related 
Stockholder Matters. 

Information with respect to this item is incorporated by reference from CBIZ's Definitive Proxy Statement 
for the 2014 Annual Stockholders' Meeting to be filed with the SEC no later than 120 days after the end of 
CBIZ's fiscal year. 

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence. 

Information with respect to this item not included below is incorporated by reference from CBIZ’s 
Definitive Proxy Statement for the 2014 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting to be filed with the SEC no later 
than 120 days after the end of CBIZ’s fiscal year.  

The following is a summary of certain agreements and transactions between or among CBIZ and certain 
related parties. It is CBIZ's policy to enter into transactions with related parties on terms that, on the 
whole, are no less favorable than those that would be available from unaffiliated parties. Based on CBIZ's 
experience and the terms of its transactions with unaffiliated parties, it is the Audit Committee of the 
Board of Directors' and managements’ belief that the transactions described below met these standards 
at the time of the transactions. Management reviews these transactions as they occur and monitors them 
for compliance with the Company’s Code of Conduct, internal procedures and applicable legal 
requirements. The Audit Committee reviews and ratifies such transactions annually, or as they are more 
frequently brought to the attention of the Audit Committee by the Company’s Director of Internal Audit, 
General Counsel or other members of management.

A director is considered independent under NYSE rules if the Board of Directors determines that the 
director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with CBIZ. Mr. Gerard is an employee of 
CBIZ and therefore has been determined by the Nominating and Governance Committee and the full 
Board to fall outside the definition of “independent director”. Rick L. Burdick, Michael H. DeGroote, 
Joseph S. DiMartino, Richard C. Rochon, Todd J. Slotkin, Donald V. Weir and Benaree Pratt Wiley are 
Non-Employee Directors of CBIZ. The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board of 
Directors have determined that each of Rick L. Burdick, Joseph S. DiMartino, Richard C. Rochon, Todd J. 
Slotkin, Donald V. Weir and Benaree Pratt Wiley are “independent directors” within the meaning of the 
rules of the NYSE, since they had no material relationship with the Company other than their status and 
payment as Non-Employee Directors and as Stockholders. The Nominating and Governance Committee 
and the Board of Directors have determined that Mssrs. Rochon, Slotkin and Weir are independent under 
the SEC’s audit committee independence standards.  

In connection with these independence determinations, the Nominating and Governance Committee and 
the Board of Directors considered all of the relationships between each director and CBIZ, and in 
particular the following relationships: 

  Rick L. Burdick, a Director of CBIZ, is a partner of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP (“Akin 

Gump”). Akin Gump performed legal work for CBIZ during 2013, 2012 and 2011 for which the firm 
received approximately $0.4 million, $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, from CBIZ. The 
Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board of Directors have determined that 
Mr. Burdick should be considered an “independent director” under the meaning of the NYSE 
rules, since the amounts paid to the law firm of Akin Gump for legal representation of CBIZ 
throughout 2013 were not collectively significant under the NYSE rules governing director 
independence. 

  The Committee and the Board determined that Michael H. DeGroote should not be considered an 
“independent director” under the meaning of the NYSE rules, primarily in light of his relationship 
to a significant stockholder of the Company. Mr. DeGroote is the son of Michael G. DeGroote, the 
beneficiary of a trust which is the largest single stockholder for the purposes of determining 
independence. He is also an officer or director of various privately held companies that obtain 
several types of insurance coverage through a CBIZ subsidiary. The commissions paid to CBIZ 
were approximately $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 
2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

  Richard C. Rochon, a Director of CBIZ, is an officer or director of, or holds or controls a significant 

but not controlling interest in, various entities which obtained business advisory and tax services 
provided by a CBIZ subsidiary. The fees paid to this subsidiary totaled approximately $0.3 million, 
$0.3 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 
respectively. The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board of Directors determined 
that Mr. Rochon should be considered an “independent director” since the amounts paid were not 
collectively significant under the NYSE rules governing director independence. 

Pursuant to an agreement (the “Westbury Agreement”) entered into on September 14, 2010 by CBIZ with 
its largest shareholder at that time, Westbury, a company organized by CBIZ founder Michael G. 
DeGroote, CBIZ purchased 7,716,669 shares of CBIZ’s common stock at $6.25 per share for a total cost 
of approximately $48.5 million. Pursuant to the Westbury Agreement, CBIZ also purchased an option for 
$5.0 million to purchase up to approximately 7.7 million shares of CBIZ’s common stock at a price of 
$7.25 per share, which constituted the remaining shares of CBIZ’s common stock held by Westbury. On 
August 30, 2013, CBIZ repurchased 3.85 million shares from Westbury, which was 50% of Westbury’s 
then current holdings of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $6.65 per share, which represented 
the 60-day moving average share price at July 1, 2013. The total cost of this repurchase was $25.7 
million. The option to repurchase shares from Westbury expired on September 30, 2013. 

A number of the businesses acquired by CBIZ are located in properties that are indirectly owned by 
persons employed by CBIZ, none of whom are members of CBIZ’s senior management. In the aggregate, 

55 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
CBIZ paid approximately $2.1 million, $2.0 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 
2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, under such leases which management believes were at market rates. 

CBIZ maintains joint-referral relationships and ASAs with independent licensed CPA firms under which 
CBIZ provides administrative services in exchange for a fee. These firms are owned by licensed CPAs 
who are employed by CBIZ subsidiaries and provide audit and attest services to clients including CBIZ’s 
clients. The CPA firms with which CBIZ maintains administrative service agreements operate as limited 
liability companies or professional corporations. The firms are separate legal entities with separate 
governing bodies and officers. CBIZ has no ownership interest in any of these CPA firms, and neither the 
existence of the ASAs nor the providing of services there under is intended to constitute control of the 
CPA firms by CBIZ. CBIZ and the CPA firms maintain their own respective liability and risk of loss in 
connection with performance of each of its respective services, and CBIZ does not believe that its 
arrangements with these CPA firms should result in additional risk of loss. 

CBIZ acted as guarantor for letters of credit for a CPA firm with which it has an affiliation. The letters of 
credit totaled $1.9 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. CBIZ has recognized a liability for the fair 
value of the obligations undertaken in issuing these guarantees, which is recorded as other current 
liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Management does not expect any 
material changes to result from these instruments as performance is not expected to be required.

Information with respect to this item is incorporated by reference from CBIZ's Definitive Proxy Statement 
for the 2014 Annual Stockholders' Meeting to be filed with the SEC no later than 120 days after the end of

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders 
CBIZ, Inc.: 

We have audited CBIZ, Inc.’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of 
December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) 
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s 
management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its 
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the 
accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting included in Item 
9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial 
reporting based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting 
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained 
in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial 
reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design 
and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included 
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that 
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable 
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for 
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal 
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the 
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and 
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are 
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made 
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide 
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or 
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect 
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the 
risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of 
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over 
financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – 
Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight 
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of CBIZ, Inc. and subsidiaries  as of 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, 
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended 
December 31, 2013, and our report dated March 14, 2014  expressed an unqualified opinion on those 
consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders 
CBIZ, Inc.: 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CBIZ, Inc. and subsidiaries (the 
Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of 
comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year 
period ended December 31, 2013 as listed in the accompanying index on page F-1. In connection with 
our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement 
schedule listed in the accompanying index on page F-1. These consolidated financial statements and 
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility 
is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule 
based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting 
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An 
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant 
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material 
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of 
its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 
2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related 
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a 
whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight 
Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 
2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report  dated March 
14, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over 
financial reporting.

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

1.  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Organization 

CBIZ, Inc. is a diversified services company which, acting through its subsidiaries, provides 
professional business services primarily to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as 
individuals, governmental entities, and not-for-profit enterprises throughout the United States and 
parts of Canada. CBIZ Inc. manages and reports its operations along three practice groups: 
Financial Services, Employee Services and National Practices. A further description of products and 
services offered by each of the practice groups is provided in Note 22. 

Divestiture of Medical Management Professionals 

On July 26, 2013, CBIZ, Inc., through its subsidiary CBIZ Operations, Inc., an Ohio Corporation, 
entered into an agreement with Zotec Partners, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company, to sell all 
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each of CBIZ Medical Management Professionals, 
Inc., an Ohio corporation, and CBIZ Medical Management, Inc., a North Carolina corporation, and 
substantially all of the stock of their subsidiary companies, collectively consisting of all of CBIZ Inc.’s 
Medical Management Professionals ongoing operations and business (“MMP”). The sale of MMP 
was completed on August 30, 2013 for a total purchase price of $201.6 million, subject to final 
working capital adjustments. As a result of the completion of the divestiture of MMP, the assets and 
liabilities as well as the operations of MMP are reflected as discontinued operations on this Form 
10-K. See Note 20 for further discussion of discontinued operations and divestitures. 

Stock Purchase Agreement with Westbury Ltd. 

On August 30, 2013, concurrent with the sale of MMP, CBIZ Inc. completed an agreement with 
Westbury (Bermuda) Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“Westbury”), Westbury Trust, a Bermuda 
trust, and Michael G. DeGroote, the founder of CBIZ, Inc., to purchase from Westbury 3.85 million 
shares of the Company’s common stock, which was 50% of Westbury’s current holdings of the 
Company’s common stock, at a price of $6.65 per share for a total of approximately $25.7 million. 
See Note 14 for further discussion regarding CBIZ’s common stock. 

Principles of Consolidation 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of CBIZ, Inc. and all of 
its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“CBIZ” or the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and 
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  

CBIZ has determined that its relationship with certain Certified Public Accounting (“CPA”) firms with 
whom it maintains administrative service agreements (“ASAs”) qualify as variable interest entities. 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect the operations or accounts of 
variable interest entities as the impact is not material to the consolidated financial condition, results 
of operations or cash flows of CBIZ.  

The CPA firms with which CBIZ maintains ASAs may operate as limited liability companies or 
professional corporations. The firms are separate legal entities with separate governing bodies and 
officers. CBIZ has no ownership interest in any of these CPA firms, and neither the existence of the 
ASAs nor the providing of services thereunder is intended to constitute control of the CPA firms by 
CBIZ. CBIZ and the CPA firms maintain their own respective liability and risk of loss in connection 
with performance of each of their respective services. 

Fees earned by CBIZ under the ASAs are recorded as revenue (at net realizable value) in the 
consolidated statements of comprehensive income and were approximately $140.2 million, $116.1 
million and $109.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, the 
majority of which was related to services rendered to privately-held clients. In the event that

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued) 

accounts receivable and unbilled work in process become uncollectible by the CPA firms, the 
service fee due to CBIZ is typically reduced on a proportional basis. Although the ASAs do not 
constitute control, CBIZ is one of the beneficiaries of the agreements and may bear certain 
economic risks.  

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally 
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. 
Management’s estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, estimates of collectability 
of accounts receivable and unbilled revenue, the realizability of goodwill and other intangible assets, 
the fair value of certain assets, the valuation of stock options in determining compensation expense, 
estimates of accrued liabilities (such as incentive compensation, self-funded health insurance 
accruals, legal reserves, income tax uncertainties, future contingent purchase price obligations, and 
consolidation and integration reserves), the provision for income taxes, the realizability of deferred 
tax assets and other factors. Management’s estimates and assumptions are derived from and are 
continually evaluated based upon available information, judgment and experience. Actual results 
could differ from those estimates. 

Reclassifications 

Certain amounts in the 2012 and 2011 consolidated financial statements and disclosures have been 
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, including the impact of discontinued 
operations. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and short-term highly liquid investments with an 
original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.  

Restricted Cash 

Funds held by CBIZ in relation to its capital and investment advisory services are recorded in 
restricted cash as those funds are restricted in accordance with applicable Financial Industry 
Regulatory Authority regulations. Funds on deposit from clients in connection with the pass-through 
of insurance premiums to the carrier are also recorded in restricted cash; the related liability for 
these funds is recorded in accounts payable. Funds held in escrow related to sales of operations 
are also classified as restricted cash. 

Funds Held for Clients and Client Fund Obligations 

Services provided by CBIZ’s payroll operations include the preparation of payroll checks, federal, 
state, and local payroll tax returns, and flexible spending account administration. In relation to these 
services, as well as other similar service offerings, CBIZ collects funds from its clients’ accounts in 
advance of paying client obligations. Funds that are collected before they are due are segregated 
and reported separately as “Funds Held for Clients” in the consolidated balance sheets. Other than 
certain federal and state regulations pertaining to flexible spending account administration, there are 
no regulatory or other contractual restrictions placed on these funds. 

Funds Held for Clients are reported as current assets and Client Fund Obligations are reported as 
current liabilities. Funds Held for Clients include cash, overnight investments and corporate and 
municipal bonds (see Note 5 for further discussion of investments). If the par value of investments 
held does not approximate fair value, the balance in Funds Held for Clients may not be equal to the 
balance in Client Fund Obligations. The amount of collected but not yet remitted funds may vary 
significantly during the year based on the timing of clients’ payroll periods.

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued) 

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities  

Derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and are 
measured at fair value. The treatment of gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair values 
of derivative instruments is dependent on the use of the respective derivative instruments and 
whether they qualify for hedge accounting. See Note 5 for further discussion of derivative 
instruments. 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  

CBIZ carries accounts receivable at their face amount less allowances for doubtful accounts, and 
carries unbilled revenues at estimated net realizable value. Assessing the collectability of 
receivables (billed and unbilled) requires management judgment. When evaluating the adequacy of 
the allowance for doubtful accounts and the overall collectability of receivables, CBIZ analyzes 
historical bad debts, client credit-worthiness, the age of accounts receivable and current economic 
trends and conditions. 

Goodwill 

CBIZ utilizes the acquisition method of accounting for all business combinations. Goodwill is not 
amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually, or in between annual tests if an event occurs 
or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit 
below its carrying value. CBIZ tests for impairment of its goodwill during the fourth quarter of each 
calendar year. See Note 4 for additional discussion regarding goodwill impairment testing. 

Long-Lived Assets 

Long-lived assets primarily consist of property and equipment and intangible assets, which include 
client lists and non-compete agreements. The intangible assets are amortized over their expected 
periods of benefit, which generally ranges from two to fifteen years. Long-lived assets are reviewed 
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of 
such assets or groups of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets or 
groups of assets is assessed based on a comparison of the undiscounted cash flows to the 
recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair 
value based on a discounted cash flow analysis or market comparable method. Determining the fair 
value of long-lived assets includes significant judgment by management, and different judgments 
could yield different results. 

Property and Equipment 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. 
Depreciation and amortization are provided on a straight-line basis over the following estimated 
useful lives: 

Buildings ................................................... 25 to 40 years 
Furniture and fixtures ................................ 5 to 10 years 
Capitalized software ................................. 2 to 7 years 
Equipment ................................................ 3 to 7 years 

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the 
remaining term of the respective lease. The cost of software purchased or developed for internal 
use is capitalized and amortized to expense using the straight-line method over an estimated useful 
life not to exceed seven years. Capitalized software is classified as “property and equipment, net” in 
the consolidated balance sheets.

Income Taxes 

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial 
statements and consist of taxes currently payable and deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and 
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the 
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, 
and operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. State income tax credits are accounted for using 
the flow-through method. 

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion of a deferred tax 
asset will not be realized. CBIZ determines valuation allowances based on all available evidence. 
Such evidence includes historical results, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, expectations of 
future consolidated and/or separate company profitability and the feasibility of tax-planning 
strategies. Determining valuation allowances includes significant judgment by management, and 
different judgments could yield different results. 

Accounting for uncertain tax positions requires a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognition in the 
consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes a tax benefit based on whether it is 
more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained. The Company records a liability to the 
extent that a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return exceeds the amount 
recognized in the consolidated financial statements. 

Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Unbilled Revenues 

Revenue is recognized only when all of the following are present: persuasive evidence of an 
arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the fee to the client is 
fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Contract terms are typically 
contained in a signed agreement with the client (or when applicable, other third parties) which 
generally defines the scope of services to be provided, pricing of services, and payment terms 
generally ranging from invoice date to 90 days after invoice date. Billing may occur prior to, during, 
or upon completion of the service. CBIZ typically does not have acceptance provisions or right of 
refund arrangements included in these agreements. Contract terms vary depending on the scope of 
service provided, the deliverables, and the complexity of the engagement. 

CBIZ offers a vast array of products and business services to its clients. Those services are 
delivered through three practice groups. A description of revenue recognition, as it relates to those 
groups, is provided below. 

Financial Services — Revenue primarily consists of fees for services rendered to the Company’s 
client for accounting services, preparation of tax returns, consulting services, compliance projects, 
services pursuant to administrative service agreements (described under “Principles of 
Consolidation”), and valuation services including fairness opinions, business plans, litigation 
support, purchase price allocations and derivative valuations. Clients are billed for these services 
based upon a time and expense model, a predetermined agreed-upon fixed fee, or as a percentage 
of savings.  

Revenue recognition as it pertains to each of these arrangements is as follows: 

  Time and Expense Arrangements – Revenue is recognized based upon actual hours 

incurred on client projects at expected net realizable rates per hour, plus agreed-upon out-
of-pocket expenses. The cumulative impact on any subsequent revision in the estimated 
realizable value of unbilled fees for a particular client project is reflected in the period in 
which the change becomes known. 

  Fixed Fee Arrangements – Revenue for fixed-fee arrangements is recognized over the 

performance period based upon progress towards completion, which is determined based 

F-11 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued) 

upon actual hours incurred on the client project compared to estimated total hours to 
complete the client project. 

  Contingent Revenue Arrangements – Revenue is recognized when savings to the client is 

determined and collection is reasonably assured. 

  Administrative Service Agreement Revenue – Revenue for administrative service fees is 

recognized as services are provided, based upon actual hours incurred. 

Employee Services — Revenue consists primarily of brokerage and agency commissions, fee 
income for administering health and retirement plans and payroll service fees. Revenue also 
includes investment income related to client payroll funds that are held in CBIZ accounts, as is 
industry practice. A description of the revenue recognition, based on the service provided, insurance 
product sold, and billing arrangement, is provided below: 

  Commissions Revenue – Commissions relating to brokerage and agency activities whereby 

CBIZ has primary responsibility for the collection of premiums from the insured (agency or 
indirect billing) are recognized as of the later of the effective date of the insurance policy or 
the date billed to the customer; commissions to be received directly from insurance 
companies (direct billing) are recognized when the data necessary from the carriers to 
properly record revenue becomes available; and life insurance commissions are recognized 
when the policy becomes effective. Commission revenue is reported net of reserves for 
estimated policy cancellations and terminations. The cancellation and termination reserve is 
based upon estimates and assumptions using historical cancellation and termination 
experience and other current factors to project future experience. CBIZ periodically reviews 
the adequacy of the reserve and makes adjustments as necessary. The use of different 
estimates or assumptions could produce different results.  

Commissions which are based upon certain performance targets are recognized at the 
earlier of written notification that the target has been achieved or cash collection. 

  Fee income – Fee income is recognized in the period in which services are provided and 

may be based on predetermined agreed-upon fixed fees, actual hours incurred on an hourly 
fee basis, or asset-based fees. Revenue for fixed-fee arrangements is recognized on a 
straight-line basis over the contract period, as these services are provided to clients 
continuously throughout the term of the arrangement. Revenue which is based upon actual 
hours incurred is recognized as services are performed. 

Revenue for asset-based fees is recognized when the data necessary to compute revenue 
is determinable, which is typically when either market valuation information is available, the 
data necessary to compute fees is made available by third party administrators or when 
cash is received. CBIZ only recognizes revenue when cash is received for those 
arrangements where the data necessary to compute the Company’s fee is not available to 
the Company in a timely manner. 

  Payroll – Revenue related to payroll processing fees is recognized when the actual payroll 

processing occurs. Revenue related to investment income earned on payroll funds is based 
upon actual amounts earned on those funds and is recognized in the period that the income 
is earned.  

National Practices — The business units that comprise the National Practices group offer a variety 
of services. A description of revenue recognition associated with the primary services is provided 
below. 

F-12 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued) 

  Technology Consulting – Revenue consists of services that primarily relate to the 

installation, maintenance and repair of hardware. These services are charged to customers 
based on cost plus an agreed-upon markup percentage.  

  Health Care Consulting – Clients are billed for health care consulting services based upon a 
predetermined agreed-upon fixed fee, a time and expense model, or as a percentage of 
savings. Revenue for fixed fee and time and expense arrangements is recognized over the 
performance period based upon actual hours incurred, and revenue that is contingent upon 
savings is recognized after contingencies have been resolved and verified by a third party. 

Operating Expenses 

Operating expenses represent costs of service and other costs incurred to operate CBIZ’s business 
units and are primarily comprised of personnel costs and occupancy related expenses. Personnel 
costs include base compensation, commissions, payroll taxes, gains or losses earned on assets of 
the deferred compensation plan, and benefits, which are recognized as expense as they are 
incurred. Personnel costs also include share-based and incentive compensation costs, which are 
estimated and accrued on a monthly basis. The ultimate determination of incentive compensation is 
made after year-end results are finalized. Total personnel costs were $471.1 million, $429.4 million 
and $397.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

The largest components of occupancy costs are rent expense and utilities. Base rent expense is 
recognized over respective lease terms, while utilities and common area maintenance charges are 
recognized as incurred. Total occupancy costs were $37.3 million, $36.4 million and $35.0 million 
for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

Operating Leases 

CBIZ leases most of its office facilities and equipment under various operating leases. Rent 
expense under such leases is recognized evenly throughout the term of the lease obligation when 
the total lease commitment is a known amount, and recorded on a cash basis when future rent 
payment increases under the obligation are unknown due to rent escalations being tied to factors 
that are not currently measurable (such as increases in the consumer price index). Differences 
between rent expense recognized and the cash payments required under operating lease 
agreements are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as other non-current liabilities. 

CBIZ may receive incentives to lease office facilities in certain areas. Such incentives are recorded 
as a deferred credit and recognized as a reduction to rent expense on a straight-line basis over the 
lease term.  

Share-Based Awards  

The measurement and recognition of compensation cost for all share-based payment awards made 
to employees and non-employee directors is based on the fair value of the award. Accordingly, 
CBIZ recognizes share-based compensation costs for only those shares expected to vest on a 
straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term 
of up to four years. Share-based compensation expense is recorded in the consolidated statements 
of comprehensive income as operating expenses or corporate general and administrative expenses, 
depending on where the respective individual’s compensation is recorded. 

New Accounting Pronouncements 

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issue Accounting Standards 
Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11 (“ASU 2013-11”) “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an 
Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax 
Credit Carryforward Exists”. ASU 2013-11 states that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an 

F-13 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued) 

unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a 
deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit 
carryforward. The exception to this treatment is as follows: to the extent an NOL carryforward, a 
similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date or if the entity is not 
required to use and does not intend to use the deferred tax asset, then the unrecognized tax benefit 
should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with 
deferred tax assets. ASU 2013-11 will not require any additional recurring disclosures. ASU 2013-
11 will be effective for the reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. CBIZ is currently 
evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2013-11 and believes there will be no significant impact on 
its consolidated financial statements.

Businesses acquired during 2013 resulted in additions to goodwill of approximately $9.3 million, of 
which $1.4 million was recorded in the Financial Services practice group and $7.9 million was 
recorded in the Employee Services practice group. Businesses acquired during 2012 resulted in 
additions to goodwill of approximately $57.2 million, of which $25.4 million was recorded in the 
Financial Services practice group and $31.8 million was recorded in the Employee Services practice 
group. These additions include purchase price adjustments made in 2013 that retrospectively 
adjusted 2012 goodwill by a total of $1.4 million. These purchase price adjustments resulted from 
finalizing working capital arrangements pertaining to two acquisitions made in 2012. The result of 
these adjustments was a $0.7 million reduction of goodwill for each of the Financial Services and 
Employee Services operating segments. The remaining increases in goodwill during 2013 and 2012 
were a result of contingent purchase price earned by businesses acquired in prior years. Refer to 
Note 19 for further discussion of acquisition activities.  

Goodwill Impairment 

During the fourth quarter of 2013, CBIZ performed its goodwill impairment testing utilizing a 
qualitative assessment for each of its reporting units that carried a goodwill balance. The qualitative 
assessment included an in-depth analysis of many factors, including general economic conditions, 
industry and market conditions, a broad scope of financial factors, the Company’s weighted average 
cost of capital, changes in management and key personnel, the Company’s price of its common 
stock, as well as other drivers of a fair value analysis. As a result of the Company’s qualitative

assessment, it was concluded that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each of its 
reporting units was greater than their respective carrying values, thus resulting in no indication of 
impairment of goodwill. 

Client Lists and Other Intangibles 

At December 31, 2013, the weighted average amortization period remaining for total intangible 
assets was 8.3 years. Client lists are amortized over their expected period of benefit and had a 
weighted-average amortization period of 8.5 years remaining at December 31, 2013. Other 
intangibles, which consist primarily of non-compete agreements and trade-names, are amortized 
over periods ranging from two to ten years, and had a weighted-average amortization period of 3.1 
years remaining at December 31, 2013. Amortization expense related to client lists and other 
intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was as follows (in

Future amortization expense excludes the impact of events that may occur subsequent to 
December 31, 2013, including acquisitions and divestitures.  

5.  Financial Instruments 

The carrying amounts of CBIZ's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts 
payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying 
value of bank debt approximates fair value, as the interest rate on the bank debt is variable and 
approximates current market rates. The fair value of CBIZ’s convertible senior subordinated notes is 
based upon quoted market prices. These convertible senior subordinated notes have fixed interest 
rates and conversion features which are based upon the market value of CBIZ’s common stock. 
Therefore, the fair value of the convertible senior subordinated notes will fluctuate as market rates 
of interest and the market value of CBIZ’s common stock fluctuate.  

Concentrations of Credit Risk 

Financial instruments that may subject CBIZ to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash 
and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. CBIZ places its cash and cash equivalents with 
highly-rated financial institutions, limiting the amount of credit exposure with any one financial 
institution. CBIZ’s client base consists of large numbers of geographically diverse customers 
dispersed throughout the United States; thus, concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts 
receivable is not significant.

December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. All bonds are investment grade and are classified as 
available-for-sale. CBIZ’s bonds have maturity dates or callable dates ranging from February 2014 
through September 2018, and are included in “Funds held for clients – current” on the consolidated 
balance sheets based on the intent and ability of the Company to sell these investments at any time

Interest Rate Swaps 

CBIZ uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk exposure primarily through converting 
portions of floating rate debt under the credit facility to a fixed rate basis. These agreements involve 
the receipt or payment of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the 
life of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts. CBIZ does not 
enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.  

The CBIZ interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge. Accordingly, the interest rate swap 
is recorded as either an asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in 
fair value are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”), net of 
tax, to the extent the swap is effective. Amounts recorded to AOCL are reclassified to interest 
expense as interest on the underlying debt is recognized. Amounts due related to the swap are 
recorded as adjustments to interest expense when incurred or payable.  

At inception, the critical terms of the interest rate swap matched the underlying risk being hedged, 
and as such the interest rate swap is expected to be highly effective in offsetting fluctuations in the 
designated interest payments resulting from changes in the benchmark interest rate. The interest 
rate swap is assessed for effectiveness and continued qualification for hedge accounting on a 
quarterly basis. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the interest rate swap was 
deemed to be highly effective. 

As a result of the use of derivative instruments, CBIZ is exposed to risks that the counterparties 
would fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, CBIZ only 
entered into contracts with selected major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and 
other factors, and continually assesses the creditworthiness of counterparties. At December 31, 
2013 and 2012, all of the counterparties to CBIZ’s interest rate swap had investment grade 
ratings. There are no credit risk-related contingent features in CBIZ’s interest rate swap nor does 
the swap contain provisions under which the Company would be required to post collateral.

6.  Fair Value Measurements 

The valuation hierarchy under GAAP categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into 
one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the 
measurement. The three levels are defined as follows: 

  Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for 

identical assets or liabilities in active markets. 

  Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets 
and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, 
either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. 

  Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and are significant to 

the fair value measurement. 

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level 
of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the 
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and 
considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Contingent Purchase Price Liabilities - Contingent purchase price liabilities result from business 
acquisitions and are classified as Level 3 due to the utilization of a probability weighted discounted 
cash flow approach to determine the fair value of the contingency. A contingent liability is 
established for each acquisition that has a contingent purchase price component and normally 
extends over a term of three to six years. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value 
measurement of the contingent purchase price liabilities is the future performance of the acquired 
business. The future performance of the acquired business directly impacts the contingent purchase 
price that is paid to the seller, thus performance that exceeds target could result in a higher payout, 
and a performance under target could result in a lower payout. Changes in the expected amount of 
potential payouts are recorded as adjustments to the initial contingent purchase price liability, with 
the same amount being recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. These 
liabilities are reviewed quarterly and adjusted if necessary. See Note 19 for further discussion of 
contingent purchase price liabilities.

CBIZ has established valuation allowances for certain states’ deferred tax assets, primarily related 
to portions of the state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and state income tax credit 
carryforwards at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The net decrease in the valuation 
allowance for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $0.2 million primarily related to changes in the 
valuation allowance for NOL’s. The net decrease in the valuation allowance for the year ended 
December 31, 2012 of $1.1 million consisted of $0.6 million related to changes in the valuation 
allowance for NOL’s and $0.5 million related to changes in the valuation allowance for state income 
tax credit carryforwards.  

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers all available positive 
and negative evidence, including projected future taxable income, scheduled reversal of deferred 
tax liabilities, historical financial operations and tax planning strategies. Based upon review of these 

F-21 

 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued) 

items, management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will realize the benefits of 
these deferred tax assets, net of the existing valuation allowances. 

CBIZ and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States, Canada, and most state 
jurisdictions. In October 2013, the Internal Revenue Service completed its audit of the Company’s 
2010 federal income tax return. The Company paid a nominal amount related to the settlement of 
the audit. CBIZ’s federal income tax returns for years ending prior to January 1, 2010 are no longer 
subject to examination. With limited exceptions, CBIZ’s state and local income tax returns and non-
U.S. income tax returns are no longer subject to tax authority examinations for years ending prior to 
January 1, 2009 and January 1, 2008, respectively. 

The availability of NOL’s and state tax credits are reported as deferred tax assets, net of applicable 
valuation allowances, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2013, 
the Company has state net operating loss carryforwards of $41.2 million and state tax credit 
carryforwards of $2.2 million. The state net operating loss carryforwards expire on various dates 
between 2015 and 2028 and the state tax credit carryforwards expire on various dates between 
2018 and 2036.

thousands):

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2013 are $3.2 million of 
unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company 
believes it is reasonably possible that certain of these unrecognized tax benefits could change in the 
next twelve months. CBIZ expects reductions in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits of 
approximately $1.1 million within the next twelve months due to expiration of statutes of limitation. 
Given the number of years that are currently subject to examination, the Company is unable to 
estimate the range of potential adjustments to the remaining balance of unrecognized tax benefits at 
this time. 

CBIZ recognizes interest income, interest expense, and penalties related to unrecognized tax 
benefits as a component of income tax expense. During 2013, the Company accrued interest 
expense of $0.2 million and penalties of $0.2 million and, as of December 31, 2013, had recognized 
a liability for interest expense and penalties of $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, relating to 
unrecognized tax benefits. During 2012, the Company accrued interest expense of $0.2 million and, 
as of December 31, 2012, had recognized a liability for interest expense and penalties of $0.3 
million and $0.1 million, respectively, related to unrecognized tax benefits. 

8.  Borrowing Arrangements 

CBIZ has two primary debt arrangements at December 31, 2013 that provide the Company with the 
capital to meet its working capital needs as well as the flexibility to continue with its strategic 
initiatives, including business acquisitions and share repurchases: the 2010 Convertible Senior 
Subordinated Notes (“2010 Notes”) totaling $130 million and a $275 million unsecured credit facility. 
A third debt arrangement, the 2006 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes (“2006 Notes”), has 
been significantly reduced as a result of the repurchase of most of the outstanding 2006 Notes in 
2010 and 2011 as is discussed more fully below.

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued) 

2010 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes 

On September 27, 2010, CBIZ sold and issued $130.0 million of 2010 Notes to qualified institutional 
buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2010 Notes are 
direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of CBIZ and rank (i) junior in right of payment to 
all of CBIZ’s existing and future senior indebtedness, (ii) equal in right of payment with any other 
future senior subordinated indebtedness, and (iii) senior in right of payment to all existing and future 
obligations, if any, that are designated as subordinated to the 2010 Notes. In connection with the 
issuance and sale of the 2010 Notes, CBIZ entered into an indenture (the “2010 Indenture”) dated 
as of September 27, 2010, with U.S. Bank National Association as trustee. 

The terms of the 2010 Notes are governed by the 2010 Indenture. The 2010 Notes bear interest at 
a rate of 4.875% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 
beginning April 1, 2011. The 2010 Notes mature on October 1, 2015 unless earlier redeemed, 
repurchased or converted. The holders of the 2010 Notes may convert their 2010 Notes beginning 
July 31, 2015, or earlier if the market price per share of CBIZ common stock exceeds 135% of the 
conversion price for at least 20 days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the 
final trading day of the preceding quarter. The 2010 Notes are convertible into CBIZ common stock 
at a rate equal to 134.9255 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the 2010 Notes (equal to an initial 
conversion price of approximately $7.41 per share), subject to adjustment as described in the 2010 
Indenture. Upon conversion, CBIZ will deliver for each $1,000 principal amount of 2010 Notes, an 
amount consisting of cash equal to the lesser of $1,000 or the conversion value (as defined in the 
2010 Indenture) and, to the extent that the conversion value exceeds $1,000, at CBIZ’s election or 
as required by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, cash or shares of CBIZ common stock in 
respect to the remainder.  

If CBIZ undergoes a “fundamental change” (as defined in the 2010 Indenture), holders of the 2010 
Notes will have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require CBIZ to repurchase for cash all or 
a portion of their 2010 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 
2010 Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional amounts, if 
any. 

CBIZ separately accounts for the debt and equity components of the 2010 Notes. The carrying 
amount of the debt and equity components at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follow (in 
thousands): 

Principal amount of notes ..................................................  $
Unamortized discount .......................................................

(8,334)

$

$

The discount on the liability component of the 2010 Notes is being amortized using the effective 
interest method based upon an annual effective rate of 7.5%, which represented the market rate for 
similar debt without a conversion option at the issuance date. The discount is being amortized over the 
term of the 2010 Notes which is five years from the date of issuance. At December 31, 2013, the 
unamortized discount had a remaining amortization period of approximately 21 months.  

2006 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes 

On May 30, 2006, CBIZ sold and issued $100.0 million in convertible senior subordinated notes. 
These 2006 Notes are direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of CBIZ and rank (i) junior 
in right of payment to all of CBIZ’s existing and future senior indebtedness, (ii) equal in right of 
payment with any other future senior subordinated indebtedness, and (iii) senior in right of payment 
to all subordinated indebtedness. The terms of the 2006 Notes are governed by the Indenture dated 
as of May 30, 2006, with U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (“2006 Indenture”). The 2006

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued) 

Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.125% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on 
each June 1 and December 1. The 2006 Notes are convertible into CBIZ common stock at a rate 
equal to 94.1035 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the 2006 Notes (equal to an initial 
conversion price of approximately $10.63 per share), subject to adjustment as described in the 2006 
Indenture. Upon conversion, CBIZ will deliver for each $1,000 principal amount of 2006 Notes, an 
amount consisting of cash equal to the lesser of $1,000 and the conversion value (as defined in the 
2006 Indenture) and, to the extent that the conversion value exceeds $1,000, at CBIZ’s election, 
cash or shares of CBIZ common stock in respect of the remainder. 

On September 27, 2010, concurrent with the closing of the 2010 Notes, CBIZ repurchased $60.0 
million of the 2006 Notes. The 2006 Notes were purchased at par through privately negotiated 
transactions. On June 1, 2011, the note holders provided notice to the Company to redeem an 
additional $39.3 million of the 2006 Notes. The 2006 Notes were settled in cash for the principal 
amount and any accrued and unpaid interest. The remaining $750,000 of 2006 Notes may be 
redeemed by CBIZ at any time until the due date of June 1, 2026. In addition, holders of the 2006 
Notes will have the right to require CBIZ to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their 2006 Notes 
on June 1, 2016 and June 1, 2021, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of 
the 2006 Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest 
and additional amounts, if any, up to but not including, the date of repurchase. At December 31, 
2013 and 2012, the 2006 Notes were classified as a non-current liability since the remaining note 
holders cannot cause the redemption of their notes until June 1, 2016. 

CBIZ separately accounts for the debt and equity components of the 2006 Notes. The carrying 
amount of the debt and equity components at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follow (in

Bank Debt 

Effective June 4, 2010, CBIZ entered into a new credit agreement with Bank of America as agent for 
a group of seven participating banks under which CBIZ maintains a $275 million unsecured credit 
facility (“credit facility”). On September 14, 2010, CBIZ amended its credit facility to allow CBIZ to 
consummate the buy back and option transactions with CBIZ’s largest shareholder (see Note 14), to 
issue new senior subordinated convertible notes (see 2010 Notes above), and use up to $30 million 
of the proceeds from the new convertible notes to repurchase shares of common stock concurrent 
with the new convertible note transaction. In addition, the amendment increased the total and senior 
leverage ratios to accommodate these transactions and also to allow CBIZ to continue its strategic 
growth strategy, which includes future acquisitions. On April 11, 2011, the credit facility was 
amended to extend the maturity date one year to June 2015, reduce interest on outstanding 

F-24 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued) 

balances, reduce commitment fees on the unused amount, and adjust the leverage ratio limits to 
provide CBIZ with more flexibility. On August 30, 2012, the credit facility was further amended to 
modify the senior and total leverage requirements and provide a temporary increase in the leverage 
ratios until December 31, 2013, at which time the leverage ratios were reset to the leverage 
schedule as prescribed in the 2011 amendment. The purpose of the amendment was to provide 
additional temporary flexibility to support CBIZ’s strategic acquisitions. 

The balance outstanding under the credit facility was $48.5 million and $208.9 million at 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The significant decrease in the balance outstanding 
from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2013 was due to a portion of the proceeds from the sale 
of MMP being applied to the credit facility. Rates for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 
were as follows: 

Weighted average rates .........................................

2013

2.99%

2012 

3.15% 

Range of effective rates..........................................

1.88% - 3.91%

2.68% - 3.91% 

CBIZ had approximately $99.8 million of available funds under the credit facility at December 31, 
2013. Available funds under the credit facility are based on a multiple of earnings before interest, 
taxes, depreciation and amortization as defined in the credit facility, and are reduced by letters of 
credit and outstanding borrowings on the credit facility. Under the credit facility, loans are charged 
an interest rate consisting of a base rate or Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin, letters of 
credit are charged based on the same applicable margin, and a commitment fee is charged on the 
unused portion of the credit facility. 

The credit facility provides CBIZ operating flexibility and funding to support seasonal working capital 
needs and other strategic initiatives such as acquisitions and share repurchases. The credit facility 
is subject to certain financial covenants that may limit CBIZ’s ability to borrow up to the total 
commitment amount. Covenants require CBIZ to meet certain requirements with respect to (i) 
minimum net worth; (ii) maximum total and senior leverage ratios; and (iii) a minimum fixed charge 
coverage ratio. As of December 31, 2013, CBIZ believes it is in compliance with its debt covenants. 
The credit facility also places restrictions on CBIZ's ability to create liens or other encumbrances, to 
make certain payments, investments, loans and guarantees and to sell or otherwise dispose of a 
substantial portion of assets, or to merge or consolidate with an unaffiliated entity. According to the 
terms of the credit facility, CBIZ is not permitted to declare or make any dividend payments, other 
than dividend payments made by one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries to the parent company. The 
credit facility contains a provision that, in the event of a defined change in control, the credit facility 
may be terminated.

in the consolidation and integration reserve as further described in Note 12.  

Rent expense for continuing operations (excluding consolidation and integration charges) incurred 
under operating leases was $35.1 million, $33.7 million and $32.6 million for the years ended 
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Rent expense does not necessarily reflect cash 
payments, as described under “Operating Leases” in Note 1. 

11.  Commitments and Contingencies 

Acquisitions 

The purchase price that CBIZ normally pays for businesses and client lists consists of two 
components: an up-front non-contingent portion, and a portion which is contingent upon the 
acquired businesses or client lists’ actual future performance. The fair value of the purchase price 
contingency related to businesses is recorded at the date of acquisition and remeasured each 
reporting period until the liability is settled. Shares of CBIZ common stock that are issued in 
connection with acquisitions may be contractually restricted from sale for periods up to one year. 
Acquisitions are further disclosed in Note 19.

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued) 

Indemnifications 

CBIZ has various agreements in which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect 
to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification clauses are included in contracts arising in the 
normal course of business under which CBIZ customarily agrees to hold the other party harmless 
against losses arising from a breach of representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, 
related to matters such as title to assets sold and certain tax matters. Payment by CBIZ under such 
indemnification clauses are generally conditioned upon the other party making a claim. Such claims 
are typically subject to challenge by CBIZ and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the 
particular contract. Further, CBIZ’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of 
time and/or amount and, in some instances, CBIZ may have recourse against third parties for 
certain payments made by CBIZ. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of 
future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of CBIZ’s 
obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, CBIZ has not made any 
payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of 
December 31, 2013, CBIZ was not aware of any obligations arising under indemnification 
agreements that would require material payments. 

Employment Agreements 

CBIZ maintains severance and employment agreements with certain of its executive officers, 
whereby such officers may be entitled to payment in the event of termination of their employment. 
CBIZ also has arrangements with certain non-executive employees which may include severance 
and other employment provisions. CBIZ accrues for amounts payable under these contracts and 
arrangements as triggering events occur and obligations become known. During the years ended  
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, payments regarding such contracts and arrangements were 
not material. 

Letters of Credit and Guarantees 

CBIZ provides letters of credit to landlords (lessors) of its leased premises in lieu of cash security 
deposits which totaled $2.5 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012. In addition, CBIZ provides 
license bonds to various state agencies to meet certain licensing requirements. The amount of 
license bonds outstanding was $2.4 million and $2.7 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, 
respectively. 

CBIZ acted as guarantor on various letters of credit for a CPA firm with which it has an affiliation, 
which totaled $1.9 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012. CBIZ has recognized a liability for the 
fair value of the obligations undertaken in issuing these guarantees, which is recorded as other 
current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Management does not expect 
any material changes to result from these instruments as performance under the guarantees is not 
expected to be required.  

Self-Funded Health Insurance 

CBIZ maintains a self-funded comprehensive health benefit plan. Total expenses under this 
program are limited by stop-loss coverages on individually large claims. A third party administrator 
processes claims and payments, and CBIZ assumes responsibility for funding the plan benefits out 
of general assets. Employees partially contribute to the costs of covered benefits through premium 
charges, deductibles and co-pays.  

The third party administrator provides the Company with reports and other information which 
provides a basis for the estimate of the liability at the end of each reporting period. Although 
management believes that it uses the best available information to determine the amount of the 
liability, unforeseen health claims could result in adjustments and higher costs incurred if 
circumstances differ from the assumptions used in estimating the liability. The liability for the self-

F-27 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued) 

funded health insurance plan is included in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance 
sheets and was $2.6 million and $3.5 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. CBIZ’s 
healthcare costs include health claims, administration fees to third-party administrators and 
premiums for stop-loss coverage. 

Legal Proceedings 

In 2010, CBIZ, Inc. and its subsidiary, CBIZ MHM, LLC (fka CBIZ Accounting, Tax & Advisory 
Services, LLC) (the “CBIZ Parties”), were named as defendants in lawsuits filed in the U.S. District 
Court for the District of Arizona and the Superior Court for Maricopa County, Arizona. The federal 
court case is captioned Robert Facciola, et al v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al, and the state court 
cases are captioned Victims Recovery, LLC v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al, Roger Ashkenazi, et al 
v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al, Mary Marsh, et al v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al; and ML 
Liquidating Trust v. Mayer Hoffman McCann PC, et al. Prior to these suits CBIZ MHM, LLC was 
named as a defendant in Jeffery C. Stone v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al. The Stone case was 
subsequently voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff. 

These lawsuits arose out of the bankruptcy of Mortgages Ltd., a mortgage lender to developers in 
the Phoenix, Arizona area. Various other professional firms not related to the Company were also 
named defendants in these lawsuits.  

Mortgages Ltd. had been audited by Mayer Hoffman McCann PC (“Mayer Hoffman”), a CPA firm 
that has an administrative services agreement with CBIZ. The lawsuits assert claims against Mayer 
Hoffman for, among others things, violations of the Arizona Securities Act, common law fraud, and 
negligent misrepresentation, and seek to hold the CBIZ Parties vicariously liable for Mayer 
Hoffman’s conduct as either a statutory control person under the Arizona Securities Act or a joint 
venturer under Arizona common law. CBIZ is not a CPA firm, does not provide audits, and did not 
audit any of the entities at issue in these lawsuits, nor is CBIZ a control person of, or a joint venture 
with, Mayer Hoffman. 

In June 2011, the Facciola court, in which the plaintiffs were seeking to certify a class of all 
Mortgages Ltd. investors, granted the motions to dismiss filed by the CBIZ Parties and Mayer 
Hoffman. After that dismissal order, the plaintiffs moved the court to amend their complaint in an 
attempt to state a claim against the CBIZ Parties and Mayer Hoffman. In November 2011, the 
Facciola court denied the plaintiffs’ request to amend the complaint as to the CBIZ Parties and 
Mayer Hoffman. In June 2012, the remaining defendants in the Facciola case reached a class 
action settlement, which the court approved in October 2012. Eighteen class members, however, 
opted out of the settlement before it was finalized and, in September 2012, filed a new case against 
all of the defendants in the Facciola case, including the CBIZ Parties (Rader et al v. Greenberg 
Traurig, LLC, et al). In December 2012, the Facciola plaintiffs filed an appeal to the U.S. Court of 
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit of the dismissal of their case against the CBIZ Parties and Mayer 
Hoffman. That appeal is currently pending. 

The plaintiffs, except for the ML Liquidating Trust, are all alleged to have directly or indirectly 
invested in real estate mortgages through Mortgages Ltd. The Victims Recovery, Ashkenazi and 
Marsh plaintiffs seek monetary damages equivalent to their alleged losses on those investments. 
The ML Liquidating Trust asserts errors and omissions and breach of contract claims and is seeking 
monetary damages. The Ashkenazi complaint alleges damages of approximately $92 million; the 
Victims Recovery complaint alleges damages of approximately $53 million; the Marsh, Facciola, 
Rader, and ML Liquidating Trust complaints allege damages in excess of approximately $200 
million. The plaintiffs in these suits also seek pre- and post-judgment interest, punitive damages and 
attorneys’ fees. 

The CBIZ Parties filed motions to dismiss in all remaining cases. On March 11, 2013, the court 
issued a ruling dismissing the securities fraud and aiding and abetting securities fraud claims 

F-28 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued) 

against the CBIZ Parties and Mayer Hoffman in the Marsh, Victims Recovery and Ashkenazi 
lawsuits, and also dismissed certain other claims in the Ashkenazi and Victims Recovery cases.  

On April 12, 2013, the court denied the CBIZ Parties’ motion to dismiss the remaining claims in the 
Ashkenazi lawsuit. On May 7, 2013, the court in the ML Liquidating Trust lawsuit issued a ruling 
dismissing claims for deepening insolvency damages, negligence and breach of contract and 
holding that any claims related to the 2004 and 2005 Mayer Hoffman audits were barred by the 
statute of limitations. The court denied the motion as to the negligent misrepresentation claim.  On 
June 14, 2013, the court dismissed the RICO, fraud and consumer fraud claims in the Marsh 
lawsuit, and denied the CBIZ Parties’ motion as to the negligent misrepresentation and aiding and 
abetting breaches of fiduciary duty claims. 

The CBIZ Parties and Mayer Hoffman, without admitting any liability, have reached settlements in 
the Victims Recovery, Ashkenazi and Rader lawsuits. In addition, the CBIZ Parties and Mayer 
Hoffman, without admitting any liability, reached a settlement with a single plaintiff from the Marsh 
lawsuit. The CBIZ Parties did not pay any monetary amounts as part of these settlements. The 
Victims Recovery complaint had alleged damages of approximately $53 million, the Ashkenazi 
complaint had alleged damages of approximately $92 million and the Rader complaint alleged 
damages in excess of $15 million. Discovery is proceeding in the remaining matters (except 
Facciola which is on appeal) and no trial dates have been set. 

The CBIZ Parties deny all allegations of wrongdoing made against them in these actions and are 
vigorously defending the remaining proceedings. In particular, the CBIZ Parties are not control 
persons under the Arizona Securities Act of, or in a joint venture with, Mayer Hoffman. The CBIZ 
Parties do not have, in any respects, the legal right to control Mayer Hoffman’s audits or any say in 
how the audits are conducted. The Company has been advised by Mayer Hoffman that it denies all 
allegations of wrongdoing made against it and that it intends to continue vigorously defending the 
matters.  

In January 2012, the CBIZ Parties were added as defendants to a lawsuit filed in the Superior Court 
of California for Orange County (Signature Financial Group, Inc., et al, (“Signature”) v. Mayer 
Hoffman McCann, P.C., et al). This lawsuit arises out of a review of the financial statements of 
Medical Capital Holdings, Inc. (“Medical Capital”) by Mayer Hoffman. In June 2009, Medical Capital 
was sued by the SEC and a receiver was appointed to liquidate Medical Capital. The plaintiffs in the 
Signature lawsuit are financial advisors that sold Medical Capital investments to their clients. Those 
plaintiffs were sued by their clients for losses related to Medical Capital and now seek to recover 
damages from the CBIZ Parties and Mayer Hoffman of approximately $87 million for the losses and 
expenses they incurred in litigation with their respective clients and for lost profits. The Signature 
lawsuit seeks to impose auditor-type liabilities upon the CBIZ Parties for attest services they did not 
conduct. Specific claims asserted and relief requested included fraud, intentional misrepresentation 
and concealment; negligent misrepresentation; equitable indemnity; declaratory relief and 
respondeat superior.  

In November 2013, the Court granted the CBIZ Parties motion for summary judgment and the CBIZ 
Parties were dismissed from the lawsuit. The Company has been advised by Mayer Hoffman that it 
denies all allegations of wrongdoing made against it and that it intends to continue vigorously 
defending the matter.  

The Company cannot predict the outcome of the above matters or estimate the possible loss or 
range of loss, if any. Although the proceedings are subject to uncertainties inherent in the litigation 
process and the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, 
management believes that the allegations are without merit and that the ultimate resolution of these 
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of 
operations or cash flows of the Company. 

F-29 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued) 

In addition to those items disclosed above, the Company is, from time to time, subject to claims and 
suits arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the ultimate disposition of such 
proceedings is not presently determinable, management does not believe that the ultimate 
resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial 
condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.  

12.  Consolidation and Integration Reserve 

CBIZ recognizes a liability for non-cancelable lease obligations at abandoned properties based 
upon the net present value of remaining lease payments, net of estimated sublease payments. The 
liability is determined and recognized as of the cease-use date and adjustments to the liability are 
made for changes in estimates in the period in which a change becomes known. 

Consolidation and integration charges are comprised of expenses associated with CBIZ’s on-going 
efforts to consolidate operations and locations in fragmented markets to promote and strengthen 
cross-serving between various practice groups. These expenses result from individual actions in 
several markets and are not part of a company-wide program. Consolidation and integration 
charges include costs for moving facilities, non-cancelable lease obligations, adjustments to lease 
accruals based on changes in sublease assumptions, severance obligations, and other related 
expenses. 

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no significant consolidation or 
integration activities. Other charges against income for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 
2012 related to net present value of interest and changes in assumptions for spaces under sub-
lease. Activity during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was as follows (in thousands):

(1)  Adjustments against income are included in “operating expenses” in the accompanying 

consolidated statements of comprehensive income. 
(2)  Payments are net of sub-lease payments received. 

Cash commitments required under these obligations are included in the schedule of future minimum 
cash commitments in Note 10. Determination of the consolidation and integration reserve includes 
significant judgment and estimates by management, primarily with respect to CBIZ’s ability to 
sublease vacated space. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Consolidation and integration charges primarily consist of lease consolidation and abandonment 
charges and were $0.6 million, $0.8 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 
2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Lease consolidation and integration charges are recorded as 
operating expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

13.  Employee Benefits 

Employee Savings Plan 

CBIZ sponsors a qualified 401(k) defined contribution plan that covers substantially all of its 
employees. Participating employees may elect to contribute, on a tax-deferred basis, up to 80% of 
their pre-tax annual compensation (subject to a maximum permissible contribution under Section 
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code). Matching contributions by CBIZ are 50% of the first 6% of 
base compensation that the participant contributes, and additional amounts may be contributed at 
the discretion of the Board of Directors. Participants may elect to invest their contributions in various 
funds including: equity, fixed income, stable value, and balanced – lifecycle funds. Employer 
contributions (net of forfeitures) made to the plan during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 
and 2011 were approximately $8.1 million, $7.4 million and $6.9 million, respectively. 

Deferred Compensation Plan  

CBIZ sponsors a deferred compensation plan, under which certain members of management and 
other highly compensated employees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual 
compensation, subject to maximum and minimum percentage limitations. The amount of 
compensation deferred under the plan is credited to each participant’s deferral account and a 
deferred compensation plan obligation is established by CBIZ. An amount equal to each 
participant’s compensation deferral is transferred into a rabbi trust and invested in various debt and 
equity securities as directed by the participants. The assets of the rabbi trust are held by CBIZ and 
recorded as “Assets of deferred compensation plan” in the accompanying consolidated balance 
sheets. 

Assets of the deferred compensation plan consist primarily of investments in mutual funds, money 
market funds and equity securities. The values of these investments are based on published market 
prices at the end of the period. Adjustments to the fair value of these investments are recorded in 
“Other income, net”, offset by the same adjustments to compensation expense (recorded as 
operating expenses or corporate general and administrative expenses in the consolidated 
statements of comprehensive income). For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 
CBIZ recorded gains or (losses) of $8.2 million, $4.3 million and ($0.4) million, respectively, related 
to these investments. These investments are specifically designated as available to CBIZ solely for 
the purpose of paying benefits under the deferred compensation plan. However, the investments in 
the rabbi trusts would be available to all unsecured general creditors in the event that CBIZ 
becomes insolvent.  

Deferred compensation plan obligations represent amounts due to plan participants and consist of 
accumulated participant deferrals and changes in fair value of investments thereon since the 
inception of the plan, net of withdrawals. This liability is an unsecured general obligation of CBIZ 
and is recorded as “Deferred compensation plan obligations” in the consolidated balance sheets. 

14.  Common Stock 

CBIZ's authorized common stock consists of 250 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 
per share (“Common Stock”). The holders of CBIZ's Common Stock are entitled to one vote for 
each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There are no cumulative voting 
rights with respect to the election of directors. Accordingly, the holder or holders of a majority of the 
outstanding shares of Common Stock will be able to elect the directors of CBIZ then standing for 
election as terms expire. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights and are entitled to 
such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors of CBIZ out of funds legally available. 
The holders of CBIZ’s Common Stock are not entitled to any sinking fund, redemption or conversion 
rights. On liquidation, dissolution or winding up of CBIZ, the holders of Common Stock are entitled 
to share ratably in the net assets of CBIZ remaining after the payment to any and all creditors. The 

F-31 

 
 
 
  
 
  
 
 
 
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued) 

outstanding shares of Common Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-
assessable.  

In 2006, CBIZ filed a registration statement with the SEC to register an undeterminable number of 
shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company upon conversion (the “Conversion Shares”) of 
the Company’s issued and outstanding 2006 Notes. The registration statement was declared 
effective on August 4, 2006. In September 2010 and June 2011, $60 million and $39.3 million, 
respectively, of the 2006 Notes were retired by CBIZ, leaving $750,000 outstanding as of 
December 31, 2013. Although the Company cannot at this time determine the number of 
Conversion Shares it will issue upon conversion of the remaining 2006 Notes, if any, the number of 
Conversion Shares will be calculated as set out in the S-3 Registration Statement filed by the 
Company with the SEC on July 21, 2006. In addition, in September 2010, CBIZ issued the 2010 
Notes pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company cannot at 
this time determine the number of shares of Common Stock it will issue upon conversion of these 
notes, although the number of shares of Common Stock it will issue, if any, will be calculated as 
defined in the indenture agreements with U.S. Bank National Association as trustee. The 2006 
Notes and 2010 Notes are further discussed in Note 8. 

Treasury Stock 

CBIZ’s Board of Directors approved various share repurchase programs that were effective during 
the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. Under these programs, shares may be 
purchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions according to SEC rules. 
The repurchase programs do not obligate CBIZ to acquire any specific number of shares and may 
be suspended at any time. Repurchased shares are held in treasury and may be reserved for future 
use in connection with acquisitions, employee share plans and other general purposes. 
Under CBIZ’s amended credit facility (described in Note 8), there are no limitations on CBIZ's ability 
to repurchase CBIZ Common Stock provided that the Senior Leverage Ratio, as defined by the 
credit facility, is less than 2.0. 

On September 14, 2010, CBIZ’s Board of Directors authorized a supplemental share repurchase 
program allowing for an additional 7,716,669 shares of CBIZ’s Common Stock to be repurchased 
from CBIZ’s largest shareholder at that time, Westbury, a company organized by CBIZ founder 
Michael G. DeGroote. In addition, on September 16, 2010, CBIZ’s Board of Directors authorized a 
second supplemental repurchase program allowing for an additional 4,578,894 shares of CBIZ’s 
Common Stock to be repurchased using a portion of the proceeds from the 2010 Notes transaction. 
The total cost of these two share repurchases was $48.5 million and $25.1 million for the Westbury 
and 2010 Notes transactions, respectively.  

On August 30, 2013, concurrent with the sale of MMP, CBIZ repurchased an additional 3.85 million 
shares from Westbury, which was 50% of Westbury’s then current holdings of the Company’s 
common stock, at a price of $6.65 per share, which represented the 60-day moving average share 
price at July 1, 2013. The total cost of this repurchase was $25.7 million. See Note 18 for further 
discussion of the Westbury transactions. 

Not including the shares repurchased from the 2010 supplemental share repurchase plans as well 
as the shares repurchased from Westbury in 2013 as discussed above, CBIZ repurchased 1.0 
million shares under the share repurchase programs during each of the years ended December 31, 
2012 and 2011, at a cost (including fees and commissions) of $5.7 million and $9.5 million, 
respectively. No shares were repurchased in 2013.

15.  Employee Share Plans 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan 

The 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which has a termination date of June 30, 2017, 
allows qualified employees to purchase shares of common stock through payroll deductions up to a 
limit of $25,000 of stock per calendar year. The price an employee pays for shares is 85% of the fair 
market value of CBIZ Common Stock on the last day of the purchase period. Purchase periods 
begin on the sixteenth day of the month and end on the fifteenth day of the subsequent month. 
Other than a one-year holding period from the date of purchase, there is no vesting or other 
restrictions on the stock purchased by employees under the ESPP.  

Under the ESPP, the total number of shares of Common Stock that can be purchased shall not 
exceed two million shares. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, approximately 0.1 
million and 0.2 million shares were purchased under the ESPP, respectively, and approximately 
$0.1 million and $0.2 million was recorded as compensation expense, respectively. 

Stock Awards 

Stock awards outstanding at December 31, 2013 were granted pursuant to the 2002 Amended and 
Restated Stock Incentive Plan (“the Plan”), which expires in 2021. A maximum of 15.0 million stock 
options, restricted stock or other stock based compensation awards may be granted under the Plan. 
Shares subject to award under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares of CBIZ Common 
Stock or may be treasury shares.  

CBIZ granted stock options and restricted stock awards under the Plan. The terms and vesting 
schedules for stock-based awards vary by type and date of grant. At December 31, 2013, 
approximately 2.3 million shares were available for future grant. 

CBIZ utilized the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock 
options on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options granted during the years ended 
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were determined using the following weighted average 
assumptions: 

Expected volatility (1) ...................................................... 
Expected option life (years) (2) ..................................... 
Risk-free interest rate (3) ................................................ 
Expected dividend yield (4) ............................................ 

2013

0.75%

2012

0.78% 
0.00% 

2011 
32.24% 
4.85 
2.20% 
0.00% 

(1)  The expected volatility assumption was determined based upon the historical volatility of CBIZ’s 

stock price, using daily price intervals.  

(2)  The expected option life was determined based upon CBIZ’s historical data using a midpoint 

scenario, which assumes all options are exercised halfway between the expiration date and the 
weighted average time it takes the option to vest.  

(3)  The risk-free interest rate assumption was based upon zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a 

term approximating the expected life of the respective options.  

(4)  The expected dividend yield assumption was determined in view of CBIZ’s historical and 

estimated dividend payouts. CBIZ does not expect to change its dividend payout policy in the 
foreseeable future.

Stock Options 

Stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were generally 
subject to a 25% incremental vesting schedule over a four-year period commencing from the date of 
grant. Stock options expire six years from the date of grant and are awarded with an exercise price 
equal to the market value of CBIZ’s Common Stock on the date of grant. At the discretion of the 
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, options awarded under the plan may vest in a 
time period shorter than four years. Under each of the plans, stock options awarded to non-
employee directors have generally been granted with immediate vesting. Stock options may be 
granted alone or in addition to other awards and may be of two types: incentive stock options and 
nonqualified stock options. In the event the optionee of an incentive stock option owns, at the time 
such stock option is awarded or granted, more than ten percent of the voting power of all classes of 
stock of CBIZ, the option price shall not be less than 110% of such fair market value. During the 
years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, no individual who may receive options had an 
ownership in excess of ten percent of the voting power of all classes of CBIZ stock. Stock option 
activity during the year ended December 31, 2013 was as follows:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended 
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $2.9 million, $2.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively. 
The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during each of the years ended 
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $2.0 million, $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively. 
The intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between CBIZ’s stock price on the exercise date 
and the exercise price of each option exercised. At December 31, 2013, CBIZ had unrecognized 
compensation cost for non-vested stock options of $6.6 million to be recognized over a weighted 
average period of approximately 1.4 years. 

Restricted Stock Awards 

Under the Plan, certain employees and non-employee directors were granted restricted stock 
awards. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are granted at no cost to the 
recipients. The awards are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of 
restrictions, generally one to four years from the date of grant. Recipients of restricted stock awards

are entitled to the same dividend and voting rights as holders of other CBIZ Common Stock, subject 
to certain restrictions during the vesting period, and the awards are considered to be issued and 
outstanding from the date of grant. Shares granted under the plan cannot be sold, pledged,

At December 31, 2013, CBIZ had unrecognized compensation cost for restricted stock awards of 
$7.0 million to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.3 years. The total 
fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was 
approximately $3.0 million, $2.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The market value of shares 
awarded during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $3.4 million, $3.0 million 
and $3.6 million, respectively. This market value was recorded as unearned compensation and is 
being expensed ratably over the periods which the restrictions lapse. Awards outstanding at 
December 31, 2013 will be released from restrictions at dates ranging from February 2014 through 
May 2017. 

16.  Earnings Per Share 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of 
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing 
net income by diluted weighted average shares. Diluted weighted average shares are determined 
using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the 
dilutive effect of potential future issues of common stock relating to CBIZ’s stock award programs, 
CBIZ’s convertible senior subordinated notes, business acquisitions, and other potentially dilutive 
securities. In calculating diluted earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock awards is computed 
using the average market price for the period, in accordance with the treasury stock method. 

As described in Note 8, CBIZ’s 2006 Notes and 2010 Notes may result in future issuances of CBIZ 
common stock. Under the net share settlement method, potential shares issuable under the 2006 
Notes and 2010 Notes will be considered dilutive, and will be included in the calculation of diluted 
weighted average shares, if the Company’s market price per share exceeds the conversion price of 
$10.63 for the 2006 Notes and $7.41 of the 2010 Notes. As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 
the Company’s average annual market price per share had not exceeded the conversion price of 
the 2006 Notes or 2010 Notes.

form of notes receivable, notes payable and CBIZ Common Stock. 

18.  Related Parties 

The following is a summary of certain agreements and transactions between or among CBIZ and 
certain related parties. It is CBIZ's policy to enter into transactions with related parties on terms that 
are no less favorable than those that would be available from unaffiliated parties. Based on CBIZ's 
experience and the terms of its transactions with unaffiliated parties, it is the Audit Committee of the 
Board of Directors' and managements’ belief that the transactions described below met these 
standards at the time of the transactions. Management reviews these transactions as they occur 
and monitors them for compliance with the Company’s Code of Conduct, internal procedures and 
applicable legal requirements. The Audit Committee reviews and ratifies such transactions annually, 
or as they are more frequently brought to the attention of the Audit Committee by the Company’s 
Director of Internal Audit, General Counsel or other members of Management. 

Pursuant to an agreement (the “Westbury Agreement”) entered into on September 14, 2010 by 
CBIZ with its largest shareholder at that time, Westbury, CBIZ purchased 7,716,669 shares of 
CBIZ’s common stock at $6.25 per share for a total cost of approximately $48.5 million. Pursuant to 
the Westbury Agreement, CBIZ also purchased an option for $5.0 million to purchase up to 
approximately 7.7 million shares of CBIZ’s common stock at a price of $7.25 per share, which 
constituted the remaining shares of CBIZ’s common stock held by Westbury. On August 30, 2013, 
concurrent with the sale of MMP, CBIZ repurchased 3.85 million shares from Westbury, which was 
50% of Westbury’s then current holdings of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $6.65 per 
share, which represented the 60-day moving average share price at July 1, 2013. The total cost of 
this repurchase was $25.7 million. The option to repurchase the remaining shares from Westbury 
expired on September 30, 2013. 

A number of the businesses acquired by CBIZ are located in properties owned indirectly by and 
leased from persons employed by CBIZ, none of whom are members of CBIZ’s senior 
management. In the aggregate, CBIZ paid approximately $2.1 million, $2.0 million and $2.0 million 
during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, under such leases which 
management believes were at market rates. 

Rick L. Burdick, a director of CBIZ, is a partner of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP (“Akin 
Gump”). Akin Gump performed legal work for CBIZ during the years ended December 31, 2013, 
2012 and 2011 for which the firm received approximately $0.4 million, $0.2 million and $0.5 million 
from CBIZ, respectively. 

Richard C. Rochon, a Director of CBIZ, is an officer or director of, or holds or controls a significant 
but not controlling interest in, various entities which obtained business advisory and tax services 
provided by a CBIZ subsidiary. The fees paid to this subsidiary totaled approximately $0.3 million, 
$0.3 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

CBIZ maintains joint-referral relationships and administrative service agreements with independent 
licensed CPA firms under which CBIZ provides administrative services in exchange for a fee. These 
firms are owned by licensed CPAs who are employed by CBIZ subsidiaries and provide audit and 
attest services to clients including CBIZ’s clients. The CPA firms with which CBIZ maintains 
administrative service agreements operate as limited liability companies, limited liability partnerships 
or professional corporations. The firms are separate legal entities with separate governing bodies 
and officers. CBIZ has no ownership interest in any of these CPA firms, and neither the existence of 
the administrative service agreements nor the providing of services thereunder is intended to 
constitute control of the CPA firms by CBIZ. CBIZ and the CPA firms maintain their own respective 
liability and risk of loss in connection with performance of each of its respective services, and CBIZ 
does not believe that its arrangements with these CPA firms result in additional risk of loss.

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued) 

CBIZ acted as guarantor for letters of credit for a CPA firm with which it has an affiliation. The letters 
of credit totaled $1.9 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. CBIZ has recognized a liability for 
the fair value of the obligations undertaken in issuing these guarantees, which is recorded as other 
current liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Management does not expect any 
material changes to result from these instruments as performance is not expected to be required. 

19.  Acquisitions 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, CBIZ acquired substantially all of the assets of two 
companies: Associated Insurance Agents (“AIA”), an insurance brokerage agency specializing in 
property and casualty insurance, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Knight Field Fabry LLP 
(“Knight”), an accounting and financial services company located in Denver, Colorado. The 
operating results of AIA are reported in the Employee Services practice group and the operating 
results of Knight are reported in the Financial Services practice group.  

Aggregate consideration for these acquisitions is expected to be approximately $10.8 million, which 
consists of $4.9 million in cash paid at closing, $0.4 million in guaranteed future consideration, and 
$5.5 million net present value in contingent consideration to be settled in cash, subject to the 
acquired operations achieving certain performance targets. 

The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions was allocated as follows (in thousands): 

Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: 
     Cash ..............................................................................................  $
     Accounts receivable, net ................................................................ 
     Other assets ..................................................................................

10,781 

Under the terms of the acquisition agreements, a portion of the purchase price is contingent on 
future performance of the businesses acquired. The maximum potential undiscounted amount of all 
future payments that CBIZ could be required to make under the contingent arrangements is $6.1 
million. CBIZ is required to record the fair value of this obligation at the acquisition date. CBIZ 
determined, utilizing a probability weighted income approach, that the fair value of the contingent 
consideration arrangement was $5.5 million, of which $1.2 million was recorded in “Contingent 
purchase price liability – current” and $4.3 million was recorded in “Contingent purchase price 
liability – non-current” in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2013. 

The goodwill of $9.3 million arising from the acquisitions in 2013 consists largely of expected future 
earnings and cash flows from the existing management team, as well as the synergies created by 
the integration of the new businesses within the CBIZ organization, including cross-selling 
opportunities expected with the Company’s Financial Services group and the Employee Services 
group, to help strengthen the Company’s existing service offerings and expand the Company’s 
market position. Goodwill totaling $1.4 million is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, CBIZ purchased three client lists, two of which are 
reported in the Employee Services practice group and one reported in the Financial Services 
practice group. Total consideration for these client lists was $0.3 million cash paid at closing and an 

F-38 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued) 

additional $0.3 million in cash, which is contingent upon future financial performance of the client 
list.  

In addition, CBIZ paid $10.1 million in cash and issued approximately 184,000 shares of common 
stock during the year ended December 31, 2013 as contingent earnouts for previous acquisitions. 
During the year ended December 31, 2013, CBIZ also increased the fair value of the contingent 
purchase price liability related to CBIZ’s prior acquisitions by $1.1 million due to higher than 
originally projected future results of the acquired businesses. This increase of $1.1 million is 
included in “Other income, net” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Refer to 
Note 6 for further discussion of contingent purchase price liabilities. 

During the year ended December 31, 2012, CBIZ acquired substantially all of the assets of eight 
companies, Meridian Insurance Group, LLC (“Meridian”), Primarily Care, Inc. (“PCI”) Stoltz and 
Company, LTD., L.L.P (“Stoltz”), Trinity Risk Advisors, Inc.(“Trinity”), Strategic Employee Benefit 
Services – The Pruett Group, Inc. (“SEBS-Pruett”), the employee benefit division of Leavitt Pacific 
Insurance Brokers, Inc. (“Leavitt”), Diversified Industries, Inc. d/b/a Payroll Control Systems (“PCS”) 
and PHBV Partners, L.L.P. (“PHBV”). Meridian, with offices in Boca Raton, Florida and Atlanta, 
Georgia, is an insurance brokerage specializing in multiple insurance products and services 
including property and casualty, bonding, personal lines and employee benefits. PCI, located in 
Cranston, Rhode Island, is an employee benefits brokerage firm that offers long-term healthcare 
cost reduction strategies through a unique system comprised of technology, innovative plan design, 
educational tools and tangible financial health incentives. Stoltz, with offices in Midland, San 
Antonio and Amarillo, Texas, is an insurance brokerage offering multiple insurance products and 
services including property and casualty, personal lines and employee benefits with specialization in 
oil and gas related risk management. Trinity, located in Atlanta, Georgia, is a specialty property and 
casualty brokerage firm focused primarily on medical malpractice insurance to the healthcare 
industry and specialized insurance to the transportation industry. SEBS-Pruett, with offices in 
Nashville, Chattanooga, Johnson City and Knoxville, Tennessee, is an employee benefit and 
consulting firm for mid-sized businesses. Leavitt, located in Campbell, California, provides 
employee benefits, retirement plan services and ancillary business support and services to clients in 
the San Jose region. PCS, located in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, provides payroll, payroll tax, time 
and labor and human resources solutions to small and mid-sized clients. PHBV, with offices in 
Richmond, Virginia; Baltimore, Maryland; Indianapolis, Indiana; Austin, Texas; Cranford, New 
Jersey; and Raleigh, North Carolina, is a professional consulting and accounting service provider 
specializing in health care compliance on behalf of federal and state government agencies. The 
operating results of Meridian, Primarily Care, Stoltz, Trinity, SEBS-Pruett, Leavitt and PCS are 
reported in the Employee Services practice group, and the operating results of PHBV are reported 
in the Financial Services practice group. As a result of these acquisitions, revenue of approximately 
$25.4 million was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2012. 

During the year ended December 31, 2012, CBIZ also acquired substantially all of the assets of 
ProMedical, Inc. (“ProMedical”), a full-service provider of medical billing and practice management 
services for hospital-based anesthesiology practices, located in Ocala, Florida. This acquired unit 
was subsequently sold on August 30, 2013 as part of the sale of the MMP. Accordingly, the 
disclosures below have been restated to exclude the acquisition of ProMedical. The acquisition of 
ProMedical resulted in recording a $2.2 million contingent liability, which remains the responsibility 
of CBIZ. 

Aggregate consideration for these acquisitions consisted of approximately $74.2 million in cash, 
$3.6 million in CBIZ Common Stock, $4.5 million in short-term notes payable, $1.7 million in 
guaranteed future consideration, and $15.4 million in contingent consideration.

future payments that CBIZ could be required to make under the contingent arrangements is $18.5 
million. CBIZ is required to record the fair value of this obligation at the acquisition date. CBIZ 
determined, utilizing a probability weighted income approach, that the fair value of the contingent 
consideration arrangement was $15.4 million, of which $4.6 million was recorded in “Contingent 
purchase price liability – current” and $10.8 million was recorded in “Contingent purchase price 
liability – non-current ” in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012.  

The goodwill of $57.2 million arising from the acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2012 
consists largely of expected future earnings and cash flow from the existing management team, as 
well as the synergies created by the integration of the new business .within the CBIZ organization, 
including cross-selling opportunities expected with the Company’s Financial Services group and the 
Employee Services group, to help strengthen the Company’s existing service offerings and expand 
the Company’s market position. Goodwill totaling $53.0 million is expected to be deductible for 
income tax purposes. 

On February 1, 2012, CBIZ also purchased an employee benefits and consulting client list which is 
reported in the Employee Services practice group. Aggregate consideration for this client list 
consisted of up to $2.5 million in cash, which is contingent upon future financial performance of the 
client list. 

In addition, CBIZ paid $25.6 million in cash and issued approximately 402,000 shares of Common 
Stock and 41,314 shares of Common Stock became issuable during the year ended December 31, 
2012 as contingent earnouts for previous acquisitions. During the year ended December 31, 2012, 
CBIZ also reduced the fair value of the contingent purchase price liability related to CBIZ’s prior 
acquisitions by $1.1 million due to lower than originally projected future results of the acquired 
businesses. This reduction of $1.1 million is included in “Other (expense) income, net” in the

Advantage Benefit Planning) (“ABP”). Thompson Dunavant PLC, a full-service accounting and 
financial services company located in Memphis, Tennessee, provides tax and financial consulting 
services to clients of various sizes and in a variety of industries. MBS, an employee benefits 
company located in Atlanta, Georgia, provides employee benefit consulting and support services to 
clients in a wide variety of industries. Gresham Smith LLC, with offices in Tulsa, Oklahoma and St. 
Louis, Missouri, provides traditional accounting services to privately held, for profit clients. ABP, 
located in Pleasantville, New Jersey, provides employee benefits and retirement planning services. 
The operating results of Thompson Dunavant PLC and Gresham Smith LLC are reported in the

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued) 

Financial Services practice group. The operating results of MBS and ABP are reported in the 
Employee Services practice group.  

Aggregate consideration for these acquisitions is expected to be approximately $29.6 million, which 
consists of $11.8 million in cash and $3.3 million in CBIZ Common Stock that was paid at closing, 
$1.1 million in guaranteed future consideration, and $13.4 million net present value in contingent 
consideration to be settled primarily in cash and a portion in Common Stock, subject to the acquired 
operations achieving certain performance targets. 

The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions was allocated as follows (in thousands):

     Cash ..............................................................................................  $
     Accounts receivable, net ................................................................ 
     Fixed assets and other ..................................................................

Under the terms of the acquisition agreements, a portion of the purchase price is contingent on 
future performance of the businesses acquired. The potential undiscounted amount of all future 
payments that CBIZ could be required to make under the contingent arrangements is between $0 
and $15.1 million. CBIZ is required to record the fair value of these obligations at the acquisition 
date. CBIZ determined, utilizing a probability weighted income approach, that the fair value of the 
contingent consideration arrangements was $13.4 million, of which $4.1 million was recorded in 
“Other current liabilities” and $9.3 million was recorded in “Other non-current liabilities” in the 
consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2011.  

The goodwill of $16.9 million arising from the acquisitions in 2011 consists largely of expected future 
earnings and cash flow from the existing management team, as well as the synergies created by the 
integration of the new businesses within the CBIZ organization, including cross-selling opportunities 
expected with the Company’s Financial Services group and the Employee Services group, to help 
strengthen the Company’s existing service offerings and expand the Company’s market position. 
Goodwill totaling $11.8 million is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. 

CBIZ also purchased one client list in 2011 which is reported in the Employee Services practice 
group. Consideration for this acquisition consisted of $0.8 million cash paid at closing and up to an 
additional $0.6 million in cash which is contingent upon future financial performance of the client list.  

During the year ended December 31, 2011, CBIZ reduced the fair value of the contingent purchase 
price liability related to CBIZ’s prior acquisitions by $3.5 million due to lower than originally projected 
future results of the acquired businesses. This reduction of $3.5 million is included in “Other income, 
net” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. See Note 6 for further discussion of 
contingent purchase price liabilities. 

In addition, CBIZ paid $16.7 million in cash, issued approximately 38,900 shares of Common Stock, 
and 251,100 shares of Common Stock became issuable during the year ended December 31, 2011 
as contingent proceeds and payments against notes payable for previous acquisitions. 

The operating results of all acquired businesses are included in the accompanying consolidated 
financial statements since the dates of acquisition. Client lists and non-compete agreements are 
recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of 
net assets acquired, (including client lists and non-compete agreements) is allocated to goodwill.

Additions to goodwill, client lists and other intangible assets resulting from acquisitions and 
contingent consideration earned during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were as

The additions to goodwill include purchase price adjustments made in 2013 that retrospectively 
adjusted 2012 goodwill by a total of $1.4 million. These purchase price adjustments resulted from 
finalizing net working capital arrangements pertaining to two acquisitions made in 2012. The result 
of these adjustments was a $0.7 million reduction of goodwill for each of the Financial Services and 
Employee Services operating segments. 

As a result of CBIZ’s acquisition activities in 2012, the following table provides unaudited pro forma 
financial information for CBIZ as if all the acquisitions were acquired on January 1, 2012. The 
unaudited pro forma financial information includes the effect of financing resulting in interest 
expense of approximately $2.0 million, amortization expense of $2.6 million resulting from acquired 
intangible assets, and other adjustments to normalize certain expenses such as benefits, 
commissions and incentive compensation. The unaudited pro forma results of operations are 
presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operation 
that would have been obtained had these businesses actually been acquired at January 1, 2012, 
nor are they intended to be a projection of future results of operations. No pro forma information is 
presented for the year ended December 31, 2011 due to lack of available data.

20.  Discontinued Operations and Divestitures 

CBIZ will divest (through sale or closure) business operations that do not contribute to the 
Company’s long-term objectives for growth, or that are not complementary to its target service 
offerings and markets. Divestitures are classified as discontinued operations provided they meet the 
criteria as provided in FASB ASC 205 “Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued 
Operations – Other Presentation Matters”. 

Discontinued Operations 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, CBIZ sold all of the issued and outstanding capital 
stock of CBIZ Medical Management Professionals, Inc. and CBIZ Medical Management, Inc. and

substantially all of the stock of their subsidiary companies, collectively consisting of all of CBIZ’s 
MMP’s ongoing operations and business for a purchase price of $201.6 million, subject to final 
working capital adjustments pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement among CBIZ Operations, Inc. 
and Zotec Partners, LLC dated July 26, 2013. Certain adjustments were determined to be 
necessary to reflect the operating results and financial position of MMP as discontinued operations. 
These adjustments include an allocation for interest expense and tax expense, as well as an 
allocation of deferred tax accounts that specifically relate to MMP. The interest charges were based 
on the assumption that $40.0 million of the credit facility debt was related to MMP, thus the interest 
related to the $40.0 million was charged to MMP at the respective annual rate of interest for the 
credit facility. Tax expense was allocated to MMP at its respective individual tax rate. The assets 
and liabilities of MMP have been consolidated and are included in “Assets of discontinued 
operations” and “Liabilities of discontinued operations” on the consolidated balance sheets as of 
December 31, 2012. The results of operations for MMP for the years ended December 31, 2013, 
2012 and 2011 are included in “Income for discontinued operations, net of tax,” and the gain on the 
sale of MMP is recorded in “Gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax” on the consolidated 
statements of comprehensive income.  

In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2013, CBIZ made the decision to divest  the operations of its 
property tax business located in Leawood, Kansas, as a result of declining growth and profitability. 
This business is being held for sale at December 31, 2013, with the results of operations being 
included in “Income for discontinued operations, net of tax” on the consolidated statements of 
comprehensive income. This business was previously reported in the Financial Services practice 
group. 

During the year ended December 31, 2012, CBIZ did not sell any operations. Gains recorded for the 
year ended December 31, 2012 related to contingent proceeds of $0.1 million for a National 
Practices operation that was sold during 2010.  

During the year ended December 31, 2011, CBIZ sold a business from the Financial Services 
practice group and will receive contingent proceeds from this sale transaction based on revenue 
over the three-year period ending December 31, 2014. As part of the sale of this business, CBIZ 
reduced its goodwill balance by approximately $0.3 million. 

Revenue and results from operations of discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 
2013, 2012 and 2011 are separately reported as “Income from operations of discontinued 
operations, net of tax” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and were as follows 
(in thousands):

Corporate and Other. Included in Corporate and Other are operating expenses that are not directly 
allocated to the individual business units. These expenses are primarily comprised of certain health 
care costs, gains or losses attributable to assets held in the Company’s deferred compensation 
plan, share-based compensation, consolidation and integration charges, certain professional fees, 
certain advertising costs and other various expenses. 

Accounting policies of the practice groups are the same as those described in Note 1. Upon 
consolidation, intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated, thus inter-segment revenue 
is not included in the measure of profit or loss for the practice groups. Performance of the practice 
groups is evaluated on operating income excluding those costs listed above, which are reported in 
the “Corporate and Other” segment.  

CBIZ operates in the United States and Canada and revenue generated from such operations 
during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was as follows (in thousands):
