Behind Every Effective Leader Is a Strategic Administrator
Small
& Growing Nonprofits
Nonprofit teams are often wearing every hat under the sun, all while fighting for larger-than-life missions with limited capacity. This often means administrative gaps can quickly turn into burnout, bottlenecks, and ultimately toiling away at work that starts to feel too overwhelming to be effective.
That is why we are here: to advocate for the advocates. We provide the kind of thoughtful support that helps teams stay on top of communication, coordination, and internal processes without losing sight of the work that matters most.
A partnership with our team leads to lighter workloads for those already holding the responsibility of more than one title; Better internal coordination, and more capacity to stay focused on the mission instead of being burdened by everyday logistics.
Small Business Owners
You’ve built something great, and now the behind-the-scenes work is starting to compete with the work that actually grows your business. Our services are tailored to your needs, whether that’s diagnosing your admin bottlenecks and recommending improvements that give you back valuable time, or fully managing the moving parts, creating more structure, and making sure important details don’t keep falling back on your shoulders.
A partnership with us will give you more time back to focus on the work that matters, smoother day-to-day operations that support growth, and the ability to catch the details that tend to fall through the cracks.
Attorney-Led Firms & Solo
Attorneys
Whether you run a small law firm or your own solo practice it is hard to stay client-facing when you are also managing every email, invoice, appointment, document, and follow-up.
We help attorneys manage the adminiatrative workflows that eat into valuable billable hours. .
We provide backend office support so you can focus more on serving clients and less on chasing the details. We do this by filling your operational gaps, helping you automate tasks you’d rather not outsource, and leave you with more time on your plate to dedicate to billable hours rather than the overwhleming to-do list of admin tasks.

Testimonials
“The work went beyond analysis and restructuring: every deliverable and recommendation was built upon a clear understanding of who would be using it and why,”
Justin Birdsong
Skeleton Key Strategies, Founder & Principal
“"What consistently stood out to me while working alongside Adina across multiple engagements was their relationship with every client. Adina always connected with who these clients were as people before diving into complex system overhauls, where she really aimed to understand the “why” behind the project.
The work went beyond analysis and restructuring: every deliverable and recommendation was built upon a clear understanding of who would be using it and why, resulting in a system the client could navigate, maintain, and grow into independently. Adina led with this holistic approach during a sensitive data privacy audit, where her structured and intentional interviews, risk matrices, and findings report gave leadership visibility and insight into their problems, and provided strategic recommendations fine-tuned to what the organization could realistically implement at their current capacity.
Whether delivering for a client or collaborating internally, Adina consistently demonstrates heartfelt, human-centered work that leaves clients with something functional, not just finished."
David Barrosse
Capstone, Founder & CEO
“Adina is a highly motivated and capable professional. She excelled at her role with Capstone, and was able to meet difficult deadlines sometimes under enormous pressure. She doesn't complain when the task is difficult, she simply finds a way to get it done. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Any organization would be lucky to have her.”
by Adina Russell, They/She
“I grew up between the bustle of New York City, and a small village in Southern Germany: two worlds that couldn’t have been more different. From the time I was in grade school I’ve known that this world was not built with people like me in mind. My experience as a young, Black & unknowingly Queer child instilled in me a deep empathy for anyone who has ever felt like they had to carve out space for themselves in order to thrive.
That understanding led me to dedicate my life to social justice. I learned that parts of my identity, things I had no control over: my race, assigned sex, and superficially formed perceptions of who I was, often determined opportunities, access, and belonging. From decade to decade I noticed the importance of my identify would shift with political winds, swift and detatched at the best of times, and dangerous at their worst. I wanted to protect the children who went unprotected and often looked like me, so they never had to endure that same pain as I did… so I worked towards building a future and space where their uniqueness is their strength, not their barrier.
This collective was born from that same intention. It’s a space for people who chose to build the vision of the future they wished to see. For the dreamers who struck out on their own, shaping their futures by hand, and the activists I spent years working with, who give their all to causes bigger than themselves:
This is not just a firm, this collective is our community.
I founded Russell & Co, to be a place of support, strategy, co-learning, radical love and deeper understanding… shoulders to lean on backed by years of lived experience, trial and error, and the lessons learned from navigating both advocacy, the private sector, and entrepreneurship. When you work with us, you work with people who have walked the same road, tripped on the same rocks, and crossed the same troubled waters. My mission is simple: create a collective of advocates for the advocates. To stop burn out culture, share the work, and stand beside the small shops, independents, and professional activists as the ally and resource they’ve always deserved.”
