Taking into mind the fact that SMEs are dependent on the assistance of accounting service practices in order to run their companies. It is of the utmost importance that accounting service practices preserve the quality of service. As a result, there is a limit to both the expectations for and the factors that determine the quality of accounting services given by accounting service firms.

The results of this study basically found that SMEs perceived that accounting service practices are able to offer a diversified variety of services and business strategies despite the fact that they are unable to fulfil all of the criteria of the SMEs.
