The best way to collect personal information from vendors is to collect a completed W-9 form that asks for basic info such as name/business name, address, SSN/EIN & entity type. If you use Davies Allen for ongoing accounting services your Advisory Accountant has already been helping you gather this information and will let you know if we are missing anything.
