Botón

Botón is a software platform for running day-to-day business operations in Panama, paired with an independent CPA accountant (contador partner) who works on the same data within the platform. It addresses the problem of maintaining a separate internal spreadsheet alongside an external accountant who works in a different system and delivers delayed reports. Botón is a technology company, not an accounting firm; accounting services are delivered by partner CPAs under a service-level agreement with Botón.

The platform covers accounts payable, banks, sales, accounts receivable, and electronic invoicing with the DGI. It connects to the Dirección General de Ingresos, banks and cards, Municipio and CSS, and billing systems, with daily automatic reconciliation of banks against invoices and sales. Integrations include Invu POS for restaurants and Shopify for stores. Invoices can be submitted by photo via WhatsApp for processing and storage. Partner CPAs handle Formulario 430 of ITBMS, payroll calculation and SIPE filing, liquidaciones, financial statements, income declarations, and Informe 43 de Compras. Partners are matched to the business, and a partner can be changed while data remains in Botón.

Botón is built for PYMES in Panama, including restaurants, stores, and service businesses. Pricing depends on business size and the scope of service with the partner, quoted after an introductory call; no free plan, trial, or seat-based packaging is stated.
