Triangulation was a technique used to strengthen the robustness of a qualitative and quantitative study. The study found out that management accounting practices enabled the SMEs to produce and sell high quality goods and that promoted increased productivity and profit growth rate and boosted SMEs performance level. The result also indicated that access to credit and buying bulk purchases from cheaper sources enhanced business prospects in profit maximization and smoothened SMEs financial performance.
