Job costing is the practice of tracking every dollar of revenue and expense against each individual roofing job — so you know the gross margin on every roof you complete, not just the company's overall profitability. Without job costing, a $2M roofing company can have losing jobs hidden inside winning months, making it impossible to improve bidding or identify which types of work to focus on.
In QuickBooks Online Plus or Advanced, job costing is done through the Projects feature. Every invoice, bill, and expense is assigned to a Project (job), and the Project Profitability report shows gross profit and margin for each completed job. Learn how to set up job costing in QuickBooks →
