Your comment reflects the continued lack of understanding that QBO has in what business owners need to track project budget. Please consult with business owners to help improve the system in this area as it is currently totally lacking.  A business does not need to budget against its Chart of Account (which is what QBO is currently insanely think is budget process), whether by customer or project (as you suggest). You are not understanding  that the issue is the "budgeting by Chart of Accounts accounts" that QBO wrongly think is budgeting.  A COMPANY NEEEDS TO BE ABLE BUDGET AT THE PROJECT LEVEL FOR "EACH EMPLOYEE" ASSIGNED TO A PROJECT "BY HOURS WORKED BY EACH EMPLOYEE" AND/OR "BY EMPLOYEE LABOR COST BY EACH EMPLOYEE" ON A WEEKLY, MONTHLY AND OTHER PERIOD LEVEL.
