The objective of this paper was to verify how the use of tools and management information in micro and small companies operating in the Western Cariri of Paraíba. In order to reach this objective, a survey considering a sample of 32 micro and small companies chosen for accessibility and coming from the cities of Congo, Sumé, Serra Branca and Ouro Velho was selected. A questionnaire containing 25 subjective and objective questions was applied. The methodology used was descriptive, exploratory, and qualitative approach. For the presentation of the data, both the description and the presentation of the frequencies and averages were used through tables, when pertinent. The analysis followed based on the correlations between the questions and the respondents’ perception of the proposed content. The main results point to a marked use by the interviewees, 53.1% of the sample, with the tax tools being the most expressive and the accounting are the least used. Accounting is perceived as ally but little used by the companies analyzed since entrepreneurs mostly make decisions and manage their business based on past experiences.
