					Experts are not always effective teachers. Joe is both. He is very well versed in Quicken and knows how to guide someone new through all the benefits of this really capable program. More importantly, he's a nice guy and easy to talk with. Thanks Joe!

					Working with Joe brings an insane peace of mind! He has such a vast wealth of experience and knowledge and was able to weigh in on multiple different scenarios we were exploring, providing us with clarity! Even if it wasn't info we wanted to hear, he still gave it which we really appreciated. His advice is sound and reasonable and rooted in appropriate risk. We're now working on wrapping our heads around our daily finances to know how we get to our bigger financial goals. Sounds easy right? But it wasn't for us- and yet Joe broke it down so that now it actually does seem pretty simple. Joe is a numbers and financial nerd in the best way! Just what we wanted.

					WOW - it's a simple word but expresses just how blown away I am by the coaching I received from Joe! I'm a newer user to Quicken, with my goals being to better track my personal expenses, savings and investments and my real estate properties. I gathered all bits of information I could find online and did an "ok" job setting up my financial life on Quicken - I would give myself a C+/B- grade. But some things just weren't working quite as I'd hoped, so I reached out to Joe. We met today, I shared my screen, and he showed me so many EASIER and BETTER ways to do what I was doing. These steps will not only make my financial snapshot more accurate, but they will save me time going forward. I can see many other ways that he can help me in the future. Thanks, Joe, for making your knowledge and talents in the financial realm available to others - I so appreciate your time and expertise!

					I have found Joe to be both professional and pragmatic in dealing with clientele I have referred to him. This, at times, is not an easy task given both my Firm's taxation focus and the complex nature of many our client's financial picture. I recommend him highly and look forward to an ongoing business partnership.

					Even though I had some background on Intuit softwares, I needed some specific help with Quicken and some of the "quirks" I couldn't figure out. Joe was most helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend Joe for any and all needs or questions regarding Quicken. Mike

					I found Play Louder through YouTube when searching Quicken tutorials. Joe at Play Louder is a Quicken guru and his videos are so incredibly helpful. My personal finances are a bit complex, so I reached out to Joe to schedule a one-on-one session for more hands on help. Joe was incredibly flexible with his availability and helped me out so much. Joe was informative, thought provoking, and so knowledgeable. Joe asked questions and solicited feedback so that he could make the best suggestions/tweaks to the program to meet my specific needs. I am so grateful for his YouTube tutorials and one-on-one time. If you are in need of help with Quicken or just for a sounding board on personal finances, Joe at Play Louder is definitely an incredible resource. 10/10 would recommend.
