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.
