FLORIANOPOLIS, BRAZIL — Conta Azul, a financial management platform for small and midsize businesses, has acquired PlayBPO, a platform that financial business process outsourcing firms use to run their operations. More than 1,200 BPO firms use PlayBPO to manage the day-to-day finances of more than 15,000 small businesses.
The value and terms of the deal were not disclosed, Brazilian technology news site Baguete reported.
Five years from investor to owner
Conta Azul first invested in PlayBPO in December 2021, when the startup was just over a year old. The two companies have built integrations between their platforms since then.
Conta Azul announced the deal on Nov. 9 in a blog post. Baguete reported that Conta Azul made its 2021 investment alongside angel investor network Anjos do Brasil.
PlayBPO will keep its brand, and its partners, including chief executive and co-founder José Marques, will continue to run the business. Operations and structures will stay as they are while integration begins.
Software for the accountant and the BPO
PlayBPO was founded in 2020 in Florianópolis as a task management platform for financial BPO. It organizes the work of BPO firms and connects them to the businesses they serve.
In July, Conta Azul acquired Mister Contador, an accounting automation platform used by about 3,000 accounting firms. The company said PlayBPO completes that move, giving it technology for both of the professionals who support a small business, the accountant and the financial BPO.
Conta Azul says it serves more than 100,000 companies across Brazil. Baguete reported that it joined the Visma Group in 2025.
Chief Executive Vinicius Roveda said, in remarks translated from Portuguese, that the deal brings in technology that strengthens financial BPO work and expands Conta Azul’s presence in a segment that gains relevance every year.
A fast-growing segment
Conta Azul said financial BPO is growing quickly in Brazil. It added that the country’s tax reform has made organizing finances even more important for small and midsize companies, many of which turn to BPO firms to manage cash.
What it means for buyers
The deal brings a tool used by finance outsourcers under the same roof as an accounting software platform. Small businesses that outsource bookkeeping in Brazil may see tighter links between the software they use and the firms that do the work.
