I am a bookkeeper at a new architectural company and am trying to set up everything in quickbooks. I need some help figuring out how to set up my books so that I can pull a job cost report that will show all income and expenses on a particular job. Is this something that should be set up through the chart of accounts or is there another way of doing this?

Each Job is set up as a Customer:Job. As you purchase items or have expenses they are assigned as Items to that Job.

To create or set up a job, right click on the customer name in the customer list and click "Add Job". Then you simply select the Customer:Job as needed. Then you can create reports using the particular job.
