Payroll that scales with your SME
Once you have a team, payroll needs controls as well as calculations: who can see salaries, who approves a run, and a record of every change.

What should an SME look for in payroll software?
Accurate Irish tax calculations are the baseline. Beyond that, an SME needs permission levels so salary data is visible only to the right people, an audit trail, support for more than one company or pay group, and a payroll that posts to the accounts rather than being re-entered.
How SMEPA solves it
Roles and permissions
Control who can view, edit and approve payroll. HR and finance staff see what they need and nothing else.
Audit log
Every change to an employee, a run or a setting is recorded with who made it and when.
More than one company
Plans that include several companies let a group run each entity's payroll from one login.
Payroll posted to the books
On Payroll & Accounting, payroll journals post to the ledger automatically, and the Revenue liability reconciles to it.
