Job Costing in QuickBooks

Job Costing Help for Contractors

See which jobs actually make money. I help contractors set up and maintain job costing in QuickBooks Online — so profit is tracked project by project, not guessed at year-end.

Most contractors know their total revenue but couldn't tell you which jobs made money and which ones lost it. That's the gap job costing closes. Done right, it shows the true profit on every project — materials, labor, and costs tracked job by job — so you can bid smarter and stop guessing.

I'm Nalini Pratap, a Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor in the Reno/Sparks area. I help contractors get job costing set up correctly in QuickBooks and keep it running each month, so the numbers stay useful instead of drifting.

How I help with job costing

Why it matters for contractors

Two jobs can look identical on the surface and end up wildly different on the bottom line. Without job costing, that difference is invisible until it's too late. With it, you can see patterns — which crews, which job types, which clients are actually profitable — and make decisions based on facts instead of gut feel.

Getting started

Whether you're setting up job costing for the first time or want it maintained properly going forward, it starts with a conversation about how your business runs. Everything is handled remotely and securely, on your schedule.
