In QuickBooks Online (QBO), the Project feature works like Job Costing in QuickBooks Desktop. This feature helps you to be organized and track all moving parts. You can also use sub-customers, to track your projects and job costs depend on your preferred way of tracking. 

You might create sub-customers if:

• Use sub-customers for members of teams or leagues.
• Homeowner Associations and Property Management companies often use sub-customers for individual properties.

To help you decide which best suits your situation, you can take a look at these articles for guidance:
