The activities included training, hands-on practice, and mentoring on digital financial recording using the BukuWarung application. A pre-test and post-test were administered to measure improvements in participants’ financial literacy and digital bookkeeping skills.<br /></span><strong><span lang="EN-ID">Results: </span></strong><span lang="IN">The results show improved understanding of digital financial management after the training. Warung Iwan’s score increased from 0 to 10, while Warung Chaca improved from 90 to 100, indicating different levels of financial literacy and digital readiness. The application also improved efficiency in transaction recording, debt tracking, and financial reporting.<br /></span><strong><span lang="IN">Conclusions</span></strong><span lang="IN">: The BukuWarung application helps MSMEs transform manual bookkeeping into a more structured digital system, although its effectiveness depends on users’ initial financial literacy and technological readiness.<br /></span><strong><span lang="EN-ID">Limitations: </span></strong><span lang="EN-ID">This program involved only two MSME partners within a limited implementation period, which may restrict the generalization of the findings to a broader MSME population.<br /></span><strong><span lang="EN-ID">Contribution: </span></strong><span lang="EN-ID">This program highlights the potential of digital bookkeeping applications to enhance financial literacy, recording accuracy, and operational efficiency among MSMEs.</span></p> Syarifah Nurbaiti Neny Desriani Sri Suningsih Lidya Ayuni Putri Copyright (c) 2026 Syarifah Nurbaiti, Neny Desriani, Sri Suningsih, Lidya Ayuni Putri https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-08-04 2026-08-04 5 2 1 14 10.35912/jpu.v5.n2.p1-14.2026
