There are times when the browser gets congested with frequently visited sites, resulting in unexpected behavior in QuickBooks Online (QBO) such as unresponsive pages or missing data or buttons. Launching the program in incognito mode prevents internet files from being saved, eliminating the potential for webpage issues. Follow the steps below to bring up one:

• Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N  
• Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: press Command + Shift + N
  
  

Once you've signed in, proceed to the Projects page and check the contractor expense. If the information shows up, clear the cache of your regular browser to start fresh and improve your browsing performance. Using another supported browser is also a great alternative.
