The need for transparent and accountable financial management requires educational institutions to transform conventional administrative practices into digital-based governance systems. However, many school financial administrators still face challenges in utilizing digital technology for financial recording, documentation, and reporting. This community service program aims to strengthen financial accountability through application-based digital financial management training for school managers and treasurers. The program was implemented through three stages: strengthening digital financial governance understanding, practical application training, and continuous mentoring. The results showed that the program improved participants’ understanding of digital financial governance and encouraged the transformation of financial administration practices through more systematic recording, organized documentation, and efficient reporting processes. Continuous mentoring also strengthened participants’ confidence and commitment to implementing sustainable digital financial management practices. This program highlights that digital transformation requires the integration of technology, human competence, and institutional commitment. Its novelty lies in positioning digital financial management training as a governance transformation strategy rather than merely technical application training.
