Just in general, monitor the number of VMs you create. They can fail, stay idle for long periods of time and you still get charged.

I am helping a boutique geo company move their web architecture from a
managed VPS to Amazon Web Services. Personally, I haven't done much more
than set up test servers and play with Hadoop in AWS. Does anyone have
general hints on tools, techniques and best practices?

For instance, I just had to move an AMI from my personal account to the
company account across AWS regions. Creating the AMI and sharing it was
easy. Moving across regions was a total PITA. I ended up using
Ylastic.com which is pretty cool but seems like overkill for this
company's needs to pay for on-going. But the tech-fu level of the team
is limited, so something like Ylastic may be a necessity.
