Where the money comes in on a job
On a job the money comes in twice: a deposit on the proposal, before the work begins, and the rest on the invoice when the job is done. Between the two is what the customer still owes. Below, Harper’s furnace repair from the sample Tuesday, followed from the quote to the books. Payments work with invoicing, estimates and proposals, QuickBooks Online and the customer portal.
