This study employed a quantitative approach using primary data collected through questionnaires distributed to 99 culinary MSME owners in Semarang City using a purposive sampling technique. The data analysis method used was multiple linear regression analysis with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics.The results of the study indicate that financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on the MSME’s financial management. Financial inclusion has a positive and significant effect on the MSME’s financial management. Digital transformation also has a positive and significant effect on the MSME’s financial management. Meanwhile, the accounting information system has a negative and insignificant effect on the MSME’s financial management. Future researchers can improve the research model by adding other variables such as: digital payment transformation variables, financial education, or digital financial capabilities.
