After spending 15 years in investment banking, Adel founded Scale Pro Advisors with a clear mission: bring the financial capabilities and best practices typically reserved for large corporations — those with dedicated finance teams and significant budgets — into the hands of small law firm owners, empowering them to scale and thrive.
Before launching Scale Pro Advisors, Adel spent 10 years at Perella Weinberg Partners, one of the most respected independent advisory firms on Wall Street. There, he advised companies on mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, and restructuring transactions across a wide range of industries. He also brings hands-on experience helping growth-stage companies raise capital and providing fractional CFO services.
Adel saw that small law firms, especially personal injury practices, face some of the most complex financial challenges of any small business — contingency-fee cash flow, case cost financing, trust accounting compliance, and growth planning under uncertainty. Yet most of these firms are working with generalist bookkeepers who don't understand the model.
Scale Pro was built to close that gap. Adel's investment banking background gives him the analytical rigor to build cash flow models, financial forecasts, and strategic plans at a level most accounting firms simply can't match — and he delivers it with a collaborative, partner- first approach.
Adel earned his MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charterholder.
Adel is an avid marathon runner, having completed six marathons. He also enjoys playing soccer (and is a passionate Liverpool FC supporter), traveling, and spending quality time with his wife and two sons.
We exist to transform the complexities of financial management into opportunities for growth — enabling law firm owners to focus more on practicing law and less on the burdens of financial operations.
That means going beyond recording transactions. We deliver actionable financial insights that improve profitability, cash flow, and decision-making. We act as an extension of your team, ensuring you always have a trusted financial advisor in your corner.
Your goals are our priority. We tailor our services to meet your unique needs and hold ourselves to the highest standards of professionalism, transparency, and accuracy.
We don't just hand you a report and disappear. We work alongside you, explain what the numbers mean, and help you make decisions with confidence. We're a partner, not a vendor.
We don't apply generic templates. Our processes, reports, and forecasts are designed specifically around how law firms — and contingency-fee practices in particular — actually operate.
You'll always know where your firm stands financially. No surprises, no jargon, no black boxes. If something needs attention, we'll tell you directly — that's what trusted advisors do.
Getting started is straightforward. Here's what the first 90 days look like.
Step 1
We learn about your firm, your challenges, and your goals. No pitch — just a conversation to see if we're a fit.
Step 2
We get access to your systems, clean up your books, and establish a solid baseline within the first 30 days.
Step 3
You start receiving monthly financials, KPI dashboards, and cash flow forecasts you can actually use to make decisions.
Step 4
Regular check-ins, strategic guidance, and proactive financial planning as your firm grows. We're in your corner long-term.
You're not getting a rotating cast of junior staff. You get a dedicated team that knows your firm, understands your business model, and is invested in your success.
