Abstract
This study aims to analyze the role of household accounting in family financial management using a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. This study was conducted in the Pangaritan area, Panyileukan District, Bandung City, involving five housewife informants from various educational and work backgrounds. This research explores four main aspects: budgeting, record-keeping, decision-making, and long-term planning. The results of the study show that household accounting helps housewives in controlling expenses and planning finances better. However, some informants face obstacles in recording and planning consistency. This study emphasizes the importance of applying household accounting regularly to support family welfare. The study also recommends further studies that consider cultural perspectives to enrich the findings in a broader context.
