My current Position as a Dynamics NAV Contract Developer with a Reseller in Surrey finished at the end of May 2009, after running for 6 Months.
The last two contracts covered 33 months included 27 months in the City of London, this contract started out as a two month contract, for a city based medium sized Microsoft Gold Reseller of Dynamics, my role was as an office based Dynamics NAV developer/consultant, the reseller also had other consultants that carried out some development, with the customer base being quite diverse.

Employing a Dynamics NAV Contractor

Working as a Dynamics NAV development freelance contractor in the UK, the contracts will almost always come through third party agencies, I have a good working relationship with a few of these, the agencies work on a commission basis for both placing permanent employees and contractors.

With an employee the companies will know what commission the agency is charging as it is based on the employees salary this is usually around 15% of the annual salary, however with a contractor the company will get charged a fixed day rate and the agency will deal with paying the contractor or the contractors umbrella company.

One of the most common search terms that brings people to my website is “Accruals Prepayments and Deferred Revenue”, and the search engine brings up many complicated answers, so I will attempt to bring an explanation in plain English for pre-payments and deferred revenue.

Dynamics NAV Contracting

I find myself out of contract after a run of 33 months, having always found it easy to get another position this is not yet to much of a worry, having spoken to several agents it looks like there is not much going on at the moment, some have suggested a permanent role could be an option, but this is not one I would consider as I prefer working as a contractor, this is a personal choice, but many think the rewards of a contractor to be a lot higher than a permanent employee.
