Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any way you can do this in QB if your client is on a cash basis.  If you "pay" the bills to reclassify them "To Print", use a clearing account, or anything that removes the bills from A/P, the expenses will hit the P&L as of the date the payments are scheduled (4-29), not the date they are paid (5-15).  Obviously, that's not proper cash basis accounting.
