If I bill for a job, would that go under accounts payable?

Billing a client isn't recorded in accounts payable. Payables are the accounts YOU need to pay. Receivables are the ones you receive from your customers.

No, billing for a job doesn't go under accounts payable. Accounts payable is more for when your company owes money to suppliers or vendors. If you're billing a client, that goes under accounts receivable, since they owe you money.
