Day one of the season, the new preparer walks in, and you've got 10 minutes between two clients to get them productive. Here's the path.

1

Users Directory → New User

Pick the Tax Preparer tier. The tier dropdown auto-gates what they can see: leads, returns, the calendar — not billing, not tier-management, not the audit log of other users.
2

Generate a TOTP enrollment SMS

Reveal-on-confirm flow: you click reveal, the SMS goes to their personal mobile, they type the code back to you, you see the TOTP for their initial enrollment. Two-factor is on from minute one.
3

Assign their starter lead bucket

Right-side panel on their profile: pick how many leads to auto-route. Default is 25; bump to 50 if they've worked seasons before.
4

Walk them through 3 things only

Quick Scan + Submit, the Calls tab, and the Activity tab on a lead. Everything else, they'll discover by themselves or ask.
5

(Optional) Pair them with a senior

The shared inbox under Support → Live Chat lets them ping a senior preparer mid-return without leaving the screen.

Tier-based access also means if they leave at the end of the season, you flip the toggle and they're locked out of everything except a read-only export of their own historical activity. No more "is the password rotated?"
