Lessons I wished I had learned before going independent:
1. Hire an accountant to advise you right away.
2. Start setting aside cash every month in a money market fund (anywhere that it is liquid but not that easily accessible) to pay your income tax quarterly instalments when they come due. You won't have to pay any of these until you file your first return, but then you have to pay everything for that first year of business plus be ready to pay another quarterly instalment shortly thereafter.
No. 2 is something that No. 1 should help you with (deciding how much you should set aside).
As painful as cash flow can be in the first year of operations, it is way too easy to use now what you should be saving for taxes later. And the pain of saving now is exponentially increased later if you don't.
