a grounded journey in business and bookkeeping
Laying the foundations for financial growth
Every business deserves strong financial roots. Grounded Bookkeeping exists to support business owners who are building for their families, not just for growth. With over two decades of experience, founder Edward Lower has worked with more than 70 businesses across creative, manufacturing, and service industries, helping them establish solid financial systems that support clarity, profit, and time freedom.

“Edward is an incredibly committed Financial Manager, always going the extra mile to get the job done. He made a huge difference for us when he tightened up all the accounting procedures and helped us to develop our new DJ booking system. Edward took care of all the company bookkeeping and payroll”

Real world experience that business owners can trust
Edward’s journey in financial management began in London, working with creative business owners who needed a steady financial hand. Later, he co-founded a national organic chocolate company, scaling it from a small startup to over 700 stores across Australia. This experience of building a business from scratch — while navigating risk, cashflow, and growth — gave him real-world insight into what business owners truly need.
Now based in the Northern Rivers, NSW and raising a young family, Edward brings that same depth of experience to business owners seeking clarity, confidence, and calm in their finances. He knows that strong cashflow and clear systems are the difference between feeling in control or constantly under pressure — and his approach helps business owners make grounded, confident decisions at every stage.
