Clio Certified

Our Founder, Eliza, Earns Clio Certified Administrator Designation

At Book Media Bookkeeping, we are committed to continuous learning and staying at the forefront of legal accounting technology. That's why we're excited to announce that our founder, Eliza Shkolnik-Movahdian, has officially earned her Clio Certified Administrator designation.

While Eliza has worked extensively within Clio for years, supporting law firms with bookkeeping, trust accounting, billing workflows, and financial management, she recently took the opportunity to complete Clio's comprehensive administrator certification program and formalize her expertise.

Why Certification Matters

As a bookkeeping firm that specializes in serving law firms, we understand that legal accounting requires more than standard bookkeeping knowledge. Law firms depend on systems like Clio to manage client matters, trust accounts, billing, and financial operations. Having a deep understanding of these systems allows us to better support our clients and help them operate more efficiently.

The Clio Certified Administrator program covers advanced platform functionality, workflow management, reporting, billing, document management, and firm administration. Completing the certification reinforces our commitment to delivering knowledgeable, specialized support to the legal community.

Supporting Law Firms Beyond the Numbers

Over the years, Eliza has built Of Counsel Bookkeeping around the unique needs of law firms. From trust account reconciliation and IOLTA compliance to Clio and QuickBooks integrations, our focus has always been helping attorneys create organized, compliant, and scalable financial systems.

This certification is another step in that commitment.

By combining legal bookkeeping expertise with advanced Clio knowledge, we help firms:

  • Maintain compliant trust accounting records

  • Streamline billing and collections

  • Improve financial reporting and visibility

  • Optimize Clio workflows and processes

  • Ensure accounting and practice management systems work together seamlessly

A Commitment to Continuous Improvement

Running a business often means putting client work first, and professional development can sometimes take a back seat. Earning this certification was a reminder that investing in education ultimately benefits the clients we serve every day.

As Clio continues to evolve and introduce new tools for law firms, we remain committed to staying current with industry best practices and platform developments so we can continue providing exceptional service to our clients.

Please join us in congratulating Eliza Shkolnik-Movahdian on becoming a Clio Certified Administrator.

We look forward to putting this expertise to work for law firms across the country.
