How to Track Expenses in Quickbooks
Many businesses incur expenses when providing services for their customers and they want to bill
their customers for these expenses. For example, a lawyer may bill their client for
courtroom time. When the lawyer drives to the courthouse, they may have to pay a toll. The lawyer will pay for that toll out of pocket and
then include that toll on the invoice to the client at the end of the engagement. Many wonder
how to handle expense tracking in QuickBooks accounting business software, so here is a step-
by-step article on how to do this.
STEP-1 Enter in the expense as you normally would on either a check, credit card charge or a bill.
STEP-2 When you choose the expense account (in this case – Automobile: Gas, Tolls & Mileage) you also want to enter in the Customer Name in the Customer: Job column and then
check the box that says “Billable.”
STEP-3 When it comes time to create the customers Invoice, open up the invoice screen and enter in the customer name
like normal.
STEP-4 You will get a pop up that states that this customer has outstanding billable time and/or costs.
STEP-5 In the next screen, click on the Expenses tab and you will see a listing of all the unbilled billable expenses for that
customer.
STEP-6 Once back in your invoice screen, you will see the amount of your expense has been added into the invoice for
the customer.
