         Mr. Joseph E. LoConti (the "Reporting Person") hereby makes the
following statement pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act") and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
This Statement is an amendment to the Schedule 13D dated October 18, 1996, as
previously amended on six occasions.

ITEM 5.       INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER
              --------------------------------

       (a) As of July 31, 1998, Mr. LoConti beneficially owned an aggregate of
4,695,569 shares of Century Business Services, Inc. ("CBIZ") Common Stock, which
includes warrants and options (currently exercisable or which will become
exercisable within the next 60 days) to purchase 461,200 shares of CBIZ Common
Stock and 1,713,132 shares owned of record by Sophia Management Ltd., a limited
liability company of which Mr. LoConti is a managing member ("Sophia"). The
foregoing securities represent approximately 8.8% of the approximately 53.274
million shares of CBIZ Common Stock deemed outstanding as of June 30, 1998
(52.813 million outstanding, plus shares issuable to Mr. LoConti upon exercise
of outstanding exercisable warrants and options). Sophia also owned 834,290
shares and 1,325,710 warrants to purchase CBIZ shares, but Mr. LoConti neither
has a pecuniary interest nor voting or dispositive control of these shares and
warrants.

       (b) As of July 31, 1998, Mr. LoConti has sole voting and investment power
with respect to 4,695,569 CBIZ shares, including 461,200 shares issuable upon
exercise of outstanding warrants and options (currently exercisable or which
will become exercisable within the next 60 days).

       (c) Within the last 60 days, the Reporting Person and persons named in
paragraph (a) have effected the following transaction not previously reported:

              On July 31, 1998, exchanged 237,300 shares of Common Stock in
extinguishment of $2,980,000 of indebtedness of Sophia. On the same date, Sophia
distributed 385,218 CBIZ shares in full or partial redemption of Sophia
membership interests, including 36,137 shares distributed directly to Mr.
LoConti. Additionally, of the CBIZ shares and warrants owned by Sophia that Mr.
LoConti has neither a pecuniary interest or voting and dispositive control, an
additional 275,000 shares and warrants were distributed to a retiring member.
