Couple launches roofing, tax preparation business in Ephrata

EPHRATA — In a little blue house on the corner of Division Street and E Street, Yuritzi Chavez and her husband Victor decided to take a chance. “I’ve been doing taxes for 12 years,” Yuritzi said as she sat behind the big desk in an office that still smelled of fresh woodwork and new paint. “My life has been in taxes and business.” However, Yuritzi said that while she worked preparing individual and business taxes and selling insurance, she was also looking for an opportunity to expand her business, but nothing presented itself. Then Victor found himself working for a roofing company that was no longer paying him. To the Chavezes, it all suddenly seemed like a heaven-sent opportunity.
