Summary
Guaranteed Foods has been a life saver for our family, especially during tax seasons. I believe in the same values as this company. Faith, Respect for Employees and Customers, Quality and Integrity.
I would love to be part of this team even though my education and background has been a different path. I love the client relationships I had built over the years as an accountant and would cherish new ones through this company.
The employees I have encountered at Guaranteed Foods have also been impressive. They represent the company well. I hope to be part of that team environment as well.
