Job costing

Tracking the actual labour, materials and other costs against a specific job.

Job costing assigns every cost — labour hours, materials, plant, subbies — to the job it belongs to, so you can compare what a job actually cost against what you quoted. Without it, you’re guessing which jobs and customers make you money.
