There is an increasing number of small businesses that are moving their accounting systems to computerized systems. There are many accounting software systems available on the market that meet a wide range of needs, company size, and industries. Small businesses simply cannot choose the right software that suits their needs due to a lack of experienced personnel. Previous research has addressed the process of selecting a software system or providing a software selection model for large organizations. In this study, we reviewed the most important previous studies in the field of study, focusing on the most important factors influencing the evaluation process. The validity of these factors was taken into account for small companies that lack technical personnel that can help them carry out this task.
