Dynamics 365 Business Central Consultants Who Get You Live Faster
Certified Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central consultants for implementation, configuration, NAV/GP upgrades and ongoing optimisation — finance, sales, purchasing, inventory and light manufacturing, set up to standards and built to stay upgrade-safe. From $3,000/month, or fixed-price by project.
What does a Dynamics 365 Business Central consultant do?
A Dynamics 365 Business Central consultant is a certified Microsoft specialist who implements, configures and optimises Business Central — Microsoft’s ERP for small and mid-sized businesses. On the functional side that means designing and setting up finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, jobs and light manufacturing to fit how you work; on the technical side, AL extensions, API integrations and clean NAV/GP upgrades. PraviMinds provides dedicated and fixed-price Business Central consultants — including former NAV/GP specialists — vetted through our own delivery work and averaging 8+ years on the platform, priced 40–60% below equivalent US/UK day rates with senior oversight and documentation included.
- Functional Business Central consulting: finance, trade, operations, reporting and go-live.
- Technical AL development, API integrations and AppSource-ready extensions when configuration is not enough.
- NAV (2013–2018) and GP upgrade and re-platform experience.
- Standards-first, extension-only approach that survives Microsoft’s twice-yearly waves.
- Engage fixed-price by project, fractional, or as a dedicated consultant from $3,000/month.
- Microsoft partner practice behind every consultant — continuity and QA, not a single contractor.

Signs you need a Business Central consultant
Flexible ways to engage a BC consultant

Dedicated consultant
A certified BC consultant embedded in your team from $3,000/month, with a one-week risk-free trial.
Consultant + developer pod

Prefer to hire a dedicated developer?
If you need ongoing AL build capacity in your own team rather than advisory, hire a dedicated Business Central developer who works your hours, tools and backlog.

What a Business Central consultant costs
Transparent, not a black box. Fixed-price for defined projects; a dedicated Business Central consultant starts at $3,000/month; fractional advisory is available by the day — 40–60% below equivalent US/UK day rates with senior oversight included.
Project / upgrade
A defined implementation, NAV/GP upgrade or integration against clear milestones.
Dedicated consultant
A certified BC consultant embedded full-time in your timezone with senior review included.
Advisory by the day
Senior decision support and health checks without a full-time hire.
Business Central talent is genuinely scarce locally, so a dedicated or fixed-price engagement avoids a long, expensive search as well as recruiting fees and ramp-up — while keeping the same accountability. See our Business Central implementation page and pricing guide for detail.
What clients say about our BC consultants
“Our consultant moved fifteen years of NAV customisations into clean Business Central extensions. The last two waves went in without a single break.”
“They set up finance and inventory to standards and documented all of it, so our own team can maintain it. Live in under two months.”
Business Central consultant FAQs
What does a Dynamics 365 Business Central consultant do?
They implement, configure and optimise Business Central — finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, jobs and light manufacturing — plus NAV/GP upgrades and, where needed, AL extensions and integrations. You can engage one for a single phase or the whole implementation.
How much does a Business Central consultant cost?
Fixed-price for defined projects; a dedicated consultant starts at $3,000/month and fractional advisory is available by the day — roughly 40–60% below equivalent US/UK day rates, with senior oversight and documentation included.
What is the difference between a consultant and a developer?
A Business Central consultant handles functional design and configuration and decides what should be built; a developer writes the AL extensions and integrations. Most projects lean functional-first; we match you to the right mix, or you can hire a dedicated developer.
Can you upgrade our NAV or GP system to Business Central?
Yes — NAV (2013–2018) and GP upgrades are core work: C/AL customisations re-built as AL extensions, data migrated and reconciled, and the system re-platformed for cloud.
Do you work with a configuration-first, upgrade-safe approach?
Always. We never modify the base app — standards-first configuration and extension-only development so Microsoft’s twice-yearly waves stop being a risk.
How quickly can a Business Central consultant start?
Most engagements begin within one to two weeks. For dedicated consultants we send matched, vetted profiles within 48 hours and run a one-week risk-free trial.
