This research aims to analyse the effect of the CEO's financial literacy on SME firm performance and the mediating roles of both the CEO risk-taking orientation and the alleviation of financial constraints. Using a sample of 310 Spanish SMEs, our findings show that both the risk-taking orientation and the reduction of financial constraints playa partial mediating role in understanding the relationship between financial literacy and firm performance. Thus, when CEO is more financially literate, it might produce a higher risk-taking propensity and, simultaneously, facilitate access to external financing, which, indeed, are much more likely to generate better performance in SMEs.
