Can we add billable expenses in QBO essentials?

Hi there,

A billable expense is an expense you incur on your customer’s behalf when you perform a work for them. You can easily record and track billable expenses so your customer can reimburse them when they receive their invoice. I'll gladly shed some light on this for you. 

The Billable Expenses feature is only available in QuickBooks Online Plus. If you need this feature but your version doesn't support it and you're considering an upgrade, take a look at this article: How do I upgrade my QuickBooks Online subscription. 

Once upgraded, you can follow the steps here to enable the Billable Expenses feature: Enter billable expenses. This article will guide you through the setup process, as well as how to make expenses billable. 

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our tech support team.

Have a great day.
