    Job Costing

    Definition

    Tracking costs (labor, materials, subcontractors, overhead) at the individual project or job level — not just companywide.

    Why it matters

    Without job costing, project-based businesses cannot tell which jobs make money and which don't. Companywide profit obscures massive variance at the job level.
