Job costing vs Manage Projects

We are small business that wants to track what we invoice customers vs hours spent on the project for internal purposes. I'm not sure which of these I can/should use job costing (which is available in my version) or manage projects (which I'd have to upgrade to Premium version). Basically, we want to assign a project number, enter a total budget for the project, deduct how much we invoiced the client and  hours spent on the project. I have little knowledge of SAGE and am learning to do bookkeeping. THANK YOU!

    Projects = Job Costing.  Projects are available in Pro - you don't need Premium to have projects. Budgetting for projects is also available in Pro.  Payroll hours are allocated to the jobs through the payroll module.  I recommend that you make a sandbox copy of your company file and play around with things to see if the reports will work for you.  Search the help file for project - you'll find a lot of helpful information there. 

    Be careful: don't confuse your sandbox data with your real data!
