Year-to-date adjusted EBITDA more than doubled compared to last year, reflecting the strength of CBIZ Inc (CBZ)'s business model and the creative nature of the Markham acquisition.
The company has implemented proactive revenue and cost control initiatives, including workforce integration, resulting in enhanced team utilization and improved compensation expenses.
