Abstract

In an increasingly complex and dynamic business environment, the need for accurate and timely internal information is essential for decision-making. Management accounting emerged as an evolution of cost accounting, aimed at providing strategic data that allows for planning, control, and adaptation to constant economic, technological, and regulatory changes. This qualitative-descriptive study aims to apply management accounting tools to the design of a system tailored to the needs of a family business in the olive sector, analyzed through a case study. The use of management accounting tools would allow for the formalization and clarification of the strategy, systematization and consolidation of existing information, the generation of new reports, a better understanding of key business factors, and the preparation of the organization
to face the challenges posed by the projected growth of the coming years.
