He specialized in the taxation of pooled investment vehicles, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs). Scarpa also advised investment companies on compliance requirements.

“As both our Philadelphia office and our Asset Management team continue to grow, Chris will help deliver the personalized service clients need in today’s challenging business environment,” said Dave Maturo, Grant Thornton’s market managing principal in Philadelphia.
Grant Thornton has over 50 offices in the U.S. and employs over 9,000 workers. It recorded $2.4 billion in revenues for the fiscal year that ended on July 31, 2023.
