Lea Foster, CPA, CGA

Founder

Numera was founded out of a straightforward frustration: too many business owners are handed off to junior staff, given generic advice, and left confused at tax time.

The firm offers something different — senior-level attention on every file, proactive strategy that looks beyond the current tax year, and a direct relationship with the person who manages your numbers.

Every client deserves the same quality of advice I would give myself — timely, honest, and built around their real goals.

With 20+ years across IT, real estate, professional services, and cross-border enterprise.

Frequently asked questions.

Do you work with US-based businesses?

Yes. We serve clients across the United States, working with licensed US CPA partners to ensure full compliance with federal and state tax regulations, and to provide coordinated cross-border advisory.

What does working with Numera look like?

It starts with a free discovery call, followed by a tailored proposal within 24 hours. Once onboarded, you receive ongoing accounting, tax planning, and advisory — with senior-level attention on every file.

How does pricing work?

We offer custom pricing based on your business size and service needs — no one-size-fits-all packages. Book a call and we'll send a detailed proposal within 24 hours.

Can you handle cross-border tax situations?

Yes — Canada–US cross-border advisory is a core focus. We help you understand treaty considerations, foreign reporting obligations, and how to structure across both countries.

A growing collection of practical, plain-language articles for business owners — grounded in official guidance and designed to help you make informed decisions. New articles are published regularly.
