Auto-enrolment readiness
My Future Fund, Ireland’s auto-enrolment pension scheme, went live on 1 January 2026 with contributions handled through payroll software and the NAERSA portal. Accounting-only products typically delegate this to a paired payroll product.
Why this regime matters
Most platforms in this accounting set are accounting-first; their auto-enrolment story is really their payroll story, handled by a separate product. We surface the dependency so buyers do not assume their accounting tool covers a payroll obligation that is now live.

It is a payroll obligation, not an accounting one
My Future Fund, Ireland’s auto-enrolment pension scheme, went live on 1 January 2026. Eligible employees (broadly, those aged 23 to 60 earning over EUR 20,000 and not already in a workplace pension) are enrolled automatically, with contributions running through payroll software and the NAERSA portal.
The platforms on this page are accounting-first. Their auto-enrolment readiness is really the readiness of the payroll product they pair with, which is where the dedicated payroll Compliance Matrix column applies. We keep this regime here so buyers do not assume their accounting tool covers a live payroll obligation, and we mark cells against the accounting record only where a payroll surface is confirmed.
These cells read ? until a vendor or regulator publishes evidence we can cite. Back to the full Compliance Matrix.
