Configuring RDP for a small workplace

Next week or so I"m going to someone's workplace to set it up for them so that they can access their work computers via RDP through the Internet. They have a static IP already so I mainly just have to configure port forwarding on their router (a inexpensive consumer model) and set static IP addresses on their computers.

Normally they would have the IT business that they pay to maintain the network do it, but they are $60/hour and some people don't trust them. (Don't know if they would get irritated if they find out that I performed configuration changes on the network, but I doubt they will even find out unless they view the DHCP server lease list on the DC and see a lack of IP leases)

Is there anything that I should be careful (particularly security-wise) when configuring port-forwarding on their router?

Any tips and/or general recommendations are also welcome.
