Ask the Accountant…
Question: I am using QB Premier and set up my orders with jobs. If I move to QBO, will the jobs move as well?
Answer: Yes, fortunately, they will. Your jobs in QB Premier will move into QBO as Projects in several QBO offerings. To have your jobs migrate from Premier to QBO as Projects, you must be in QBO Plus or QBO Advanced. If you are in QBO Essentials, your jobs will only move as sub-customers, which will not be as helpful to you. I recommend QBO Plus for our industry normally.
Projects are similar to jobs in QB Premier in that they are listed under the main Customer. Projects in QBO Plus and Advanced allow you to measure income and expenses attached to the project (order in our case) and shows profitability for the project.
