<![CDATA[In Indonesia, MSMEs have a very important role in the pace of the economy, which is one way to accelerate regional development. However, MSME actors face obstacles, particularly difficulties in financial management. MSME actors in the Medan Timur area have limited knowledge of financial literacy and financial attitudes, which results in them being unable to manage their finances properly. This research uses quantitative methods with SPSS software. The population of this study was 130, using a saturated sample where the sample size was 130 MSME actors in Medan Timur. The data analysis technique uses multiple linear regression analysis. The results of this research show that the financial literacy variable has a positive and significant effect on the financial management of MSMEs in Medan Timur (t-value 3.713 > t-table 1.657, sig. 0.000 < 0.05), and financial attitude also has a positive and significant effect on the financial management of MSMEs in Medan Timur (t-value 6.668 > t-table 1.657, sig. 0.000 < 0.05). Simultaneously, both variables explain 54.7% of the variance in financial management.
