Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in the Indonesian economy, particularly in Jayapura City, which relies heavily on the small business sector to support its economic activities. However, most MSMEs still face challenges in managing their financial reports, primarily due to inaccurate, time-consuming manual recording, and the difficulty of business evaluation. This study aims to implement the Android-based IS APIK (System Information System) as an accounting digitalization instrument that can help improve the effectiveness of financial records in MSMEs. The study employed a qualitative method with a strategic case study through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and focus group discussions with MSME fish floss processors in Jayapura. The findings indicate that the use of IS APIK significantly improves the efficiency of financial report preparation, reducing the processing time from 3–4 days to just 1 working day. This study provides a tangible contribution to the digital transformation efforts of MSMEs in underdeveloped regions and serves as the basis for policy recommendations to accelerate digitalization in MSME financial management.
