Something to the effect that during office hours you handle numerous phone calls and walk-ins and that by allowing you to come in an hour early, it gives you that quiet time to take care of those work issues that need your undivided attention, allowing you to produce quality work, more accurately, more easily, and meet suspenses in a timely fashion.  This benefits the office because you are able to return their reports and such quicker without losing quality of the work.  If possible, show examples of reports and such that would be done during this quiet time and the time it takes in the current system for you to complete them and how much quicker it was done that one morning you came in early.  Show how it will benefit your bosses more than how it will benefit you.  Also realise they will be looking at the hinderance that your not being there, either because your time now has you leaving an hour earlier, while they're still in the office, or because you work it where you get certain days off.  How will this affect the work and what gets done and when?  Do you have someone else who can cover during those times?  This should be part of your justification.

Hope that gives you a starting place...
