Local

Based in East Grinstead, West Sussex, Eden supports local businesses and sole traders by providing a friendly, down-to-earth service.

Eden Bookkeeping is owned by Alison Morphew, a qualified bookkeeper with many years of experience.  She had to learn basic bookkeeping skills for her job running a small shop in East Grinstead (2007) and ended up catching the bookkeeping bug.  Alison decided to undertake full professional training with the Association of Accounting Technicians (2011), followed by the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (2012).

Having worked within the finance departments of charities and organisations for many years, Alison decided to step out of the shadows of helping a few friends with their annual tax returns to launch her own company, Eden Bookkeeping, in 2012.

Eden is built on a foundation of creating systems and processes that allow sole traders and small business owners to concentrate on their own strengths, releasing them from the nitty-gritty of everyday paperwork and record-keeping.
