It delved on quantitative descriptive and evaluative method using self-constructed survey questionnaire, one-on-one interview and actual observations as the primary means of gathering the data among 375 owner-manager of those SMEs. Results showed that all the accounting services were highly effective and showed significant relationship with the SMES' business performance.
