Hello @njhinkson1,

Yes, there isn't yet an integrated way to create a budget to be assigned with your project. You're on the right track in creating an estimate and manually posting it to your budget.

Learn more about how the project works with this article: Learn how to use Projects to track project income, expenses, and profitability.

Additionally, I've also included this helpful article for the different methods you can start using in accepting payments for your project: Learn how to receive and categorize invoice payments.

If you have any other questions, please let me know by leaving any comments below. Stay safe!
