description The study challenges the previous literature and assumes the digital vision as a proxy of intention among Technological, Organizational, and Environmental (TOE) factors and investigates the influence of TOE factors on cloud accounting adoption among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Furthermore, the effect of cloud accounting adoption on the organization's performance as measured by the balanced scorecard was evaluated. The data collection strategy employed an online survey of owners and managers using snowball methodology, in which the survey was automatically introduced to the respondents most likely to find relevant. The data was validated prior to SEM analysis. Seven of eight hypotheses were accepted, including the two hypotheses about the impact of the digital vision on cloud accounting adoption and the hypothesis about the impact of cloud accounting adoption on balanced scorecard-measures organizational performance. Despite the importance of the statistically significant factors in the study model, the digital vision was the most affected by the organizational readiness factor. The findings contribute to the TOE model by challenging the previous literature and assumption of digital vision as a proxy of intention among TOE factors. Future studies should use the TOE framework more caution if the intention is assumed to be a mediating variable.
