How are you handling project/job profitability tracking alongside QuickBooks?

QBO's project profitability reporting has always felt pretty thin to me — decent for basic P&L but not great for real-time visibility into whether a specific job is actually making money while it's still in progress, especially once change orders or scope creep enter the picture.

For those of you managing this (bookkeepers, controllers, owners) — are you supplementing QB with a spreadsheet, a separate job-costing tool, or something else? What's the actual workflow, and what's the most annoying part of keeping it accurate?

Trying to understand how common this gap is and how people are patching it in practice.
