Abstract
This research compared financial strength of SMEs between those that out-sourced their bookkeeping and those that did it in-house, based on the managerial concept that the out-sourcing could lead to an under-utilization of financial information for operation decision making in comparison to the in-house bookkeeping. The researcher collected 342 entrepreneurs using a questionnaire. The analysis of association indicated that the firms preparing all their bookkeeping in-house had a higher ranking mean of the net profit strength and the return on fixed assets strength than the firms that out-sourced all their bookkeeping and the firms that prepared their bookkeeping partly in-house and out-sourced the other parts.

More research related to ready-to-use computer package for accounting that a general employee of SMEs could make the entries of the bookkeeping and generate any financial report all the times needed.
