Jobber runs the route side of a service business: quotes, visits, invoices, and card payments. QuickBooks Online keeps the books. The current Jobber connection sends your sales, payments, and payouts into QuickBooks on its own, and it sets up accounts for fees and tips. What it leaves out, mostly expenses, is where the books drift.

Five points. Each one is explained below.
The sync runs one way, from Jobber into QuickBooks. Clients, products and services, invoices, payments, payouts, tips, refunds, and timesheets all flow that direction. When you first connect, Jobber pulls your existing QuickBooks customers and products in once. After that, nothing comes back.
The sync is automatic. You choose when each record first goes over: a client when created or when invoiced, an invoice when created or when sent, a payment when collected, a timesheet when approved.
For Jobber Payments, a payout syncs once it is marked paid. Jobber creates QuickBooks accounts for its processing fees, undistributed tips, instant payout clearing, refunds clearing, and disputed payments. Payments land in Undeposited Funds first.
Timesheets only sync if QuickBooks Payroll is turned on, and employee names must match exactly in both systems.
Jobber’s pricing page and its help center disagree on which plans include the QuickBooks connection. Check your plan before you count on it.
Example: A lawn care company bills maintenance routes and one-time cleanups. It sets up “Weekly maintenance” and “Seasonal cleanup” as separate services in Jobber, each mapped to its own income account. The QuickBooks profit and loss now shows route income apart from one-time work.
Once a week. Each payout groups several payments, less fees. With the current integration, the payout itself syncs to QuickBooks. Match the bank deposit to the synced payout. Do not add it again from the bank feed.
Example: A week of card payments totals $5,000, including $60 of tips customers added for the crew. Jobber’s fees are $145. The bank receives $4,855. In QuickBooks, the synced payout shows $4,940 of invoice payments, $60 to undistributed tips, and $145 to the fees account. Match the $4,855 bank deposit to that payout. When the crew gets the tips through payroll, clear the tips account.
On the Grow and Plus plans, Jobber shows profit per job from labor, line items, and expenses. QuickBooks shows the company’s real profit. Because expenses do not sync, job costing in Jobber depends on someone entering expenses there too. Compare the two monthly, so a route that looks profitable is not missing its fuel and dump fees.
No. Jobber does not sync to QuickBooks Desktop.

No. After a one-time import of your customers and products when you connect, everything flows from Jobber into QuickBooks.
Jobber’s sync articles do not list expenses. Plan to enter expenses in QuickBooks from the bank feed or receipts.
In a Jobber Payments fees account that the integration creates. The payout syncs with the fees and tips broken out.
Usually because the bank feed added the deposit as a payment on top of the synced payout. Match the deposit to the payout instead.
No. Only QuickBooks Online.
