Hi All,
I am a permie currently looking within the next few months to begin a venture into the world of contracting.
I am going to be looking for an accountant to assist me in setting up the ltd company and then advising me on my options so that I can hopefully have myself setup for that first contract.
I am 28 and I have minimal commitments so this seems like a good idea to build a better life.
My current role incorporates, Application support, lots of SQL based work, reports, data manipulation and diagnostic work. I have also done a years placement during university at Oracle corp.
I have performed system upgrades, interface configuration, webserver work, as well as being very hands on with clients, including many a site visit.
Essentially the firm I work for is small so I have my fingers in all the pies, project initiation work, requirements, testing, installation, P1 support. Jack of all trades master of a few.
I was introduced to the world of contracting when I was seconded last year on a year long project, where the contractors I worked with were actively suggesting I pursue a career as a contractor.
My biggest asset I would say is that I find it easy to build rapports with business users and translate requirements and other information between them and the technical team/developers.
I was hoping I can draw on the experience of members of the site to help me get started, currently the task is a bit daunting and I don't have much in the way of guidance on how to really get the ball rolling - what kind of role would even be available to myself, considering i am not a developer.
Which agencies should i sign up to? What to avoid, etc.
I thank you guys for taking the time to read my post and i look forward to your responses.
Kind Regards,
Ronni
