I don't think you need to love paperwork or money. Just employ an accountant for a few hours a year.

Filling out paperwork for the accountant to look at is still paperwork.

The HMRC will take a fair cut of my gross income, which is fine, and then leave me alone whereas an accountant earns money by bothering me with more paperwork.

How do you know it's fair?

The accountant fills out the paperwork for you.

Accountants don’t bother you - once a year they ask you to sign your accounts.
