QuickBooks Online Tips Every Home Service Professional Should Know in 2025
If you run a home service business—whether it's cleaning, HVAC, landscaping, organizing, handyman work, or pest control—QuickBooks Online (QBO) can be your secret weapon for managing your money.
But most entrepreneurs in the trades didn’t get a financial education. That’s where simple, targeted QuickBooks ProAdvisor tips can make a big difference in 2025.
1. Turn On Class Tracking
Use class tracking to break your revenue and expenses down by service type, location, or crew. This helps you see exactly which parts of your business are profitable.
2. Use the Projects Feature for Larger Jobs
Doing multi-day installs or larger jobs? QBO’s Projects feature lets you track time, materials, invoices, and expenses all in one place to help manage job costing and profits.
3. Memorize Common Transactions
If you buy supplies from the same vendor or have regular fuel costs, memorize those transactions in QBO. It saves time and keeps your books consistent.
4. Set Up Estimated Quarterly Tax Reports
With income and expenses entered correctly, QBO can help estimate your quarterly tax obligations so you’re not surprised come tax time.
