How do I generate individual client accounts?

I'll share information that could help you.

QuickBooks Self-Employed helps track your income, expenses, mileage, and tax info. You can access your accounts from a web browser or the mobile app. 

In QuickBooks Self-Employed, you can only create a client or customer on the Invoice page, not in the transactions. You can utilise the description for your customer and then pull up the P&L report to view the income and expenses. Customise the report according to the information you needed. I will attach screenshots for better reference.

If you want more features to help you manage your business flawlessly, you may consider availing of the QuickBooks Online subscription. You can visit these articles for the overview:

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I don't see exactly the same screens as you are showing in your screenshots.

I've created a "test client" invoice with two items of work. You will see I don't have the same options that you show.

Can I carry out what you describe using my version of QuickBooks? If so, how may I do it please? (I am using the web-browser version of Self-Employed QuickBooks that I signed up for yesterday.) I looked at the P&L report and couldn't see an option for selecting the client. Please see attached screenshots of the mock invoice I set up. There are two screen shots in order to show the whole length of the invoice.

Thank you.

Thank you for the response and for providing us with more details about your concern, @Dog Walker 1.

I can share additional information about adding clients or customers in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE). 

At this time, there's no option to add customers or clients in QBSE. However, you can add your client name and email address on the invoices page. Then, QBSE will auto-remember that information. Additionally, the Profit and Loss report in QBSE will only summarize your income and expenses you categorize under SA103F categories. 

In the meantime, I suggest adding tags to your transactions like what you're currently doing and then filtering it from your Transactions page to see Business Income and Business Expense for the specific time. 

Here's how:

1. Go to the Transactions page.
2. Set the Type, Account, and Date to All. 
3. Click on Tags and select the tag. 

Refer to the following article for more information about categorising transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed. 

Here's how you can email receipts to QuickBooks so it automatically records them: Forward receipt images to QuickBooks Self-Employed.
