How to Add Jobs in QuickBooks Online

Work is similar to projects. You might work on several projects for one client. Jobs are used by businesses in sectors including construction, renovation, consulting, and professional services to keep track of costs associated with certain jobs and projects.

A renovation company is an example of a job. You would monitor earnings and outlays according to the remodeling project. A kitchen remodel, for instance, would be seen as a work. Assigning a job to each transaction involving income and expenses would allow you to keep track of both for each remodeling project. After the project is finished, you will be able to generate reports that detail the income and costs associated with the kitchen remodel project specifically, as well as any other task.

In reality, QuickBooks Online doesn’t use “Jobs“. Sub-customers are employed. Setting up sub-customers in QBO is quite simple. From the Customer Center in QBO, you can add sub-customers (jobs) to the customer list.

  • Click New Customer in the upper right corner of the customer centre. For information on adding customers to QuickBooks Online, please see my tutorial.
  • A window with customer information will appear.
  • Set up and save the “Parent” customer first. The customer name is that of the Parent customer. For instance, Freeman Sporting Goods is a perfect example of a Parent customer.
  • Add the job as a sub-customer after that. On the upper right, Select New Customer.
  • In the Company field, type the job title.
  • Select the “Parent” client from the list, check the “Is Sub-Customer” box, and then pick if you want to invoice the sub-customer alongside the parent.
  • Once finished, Press Save.
