ACCOUNTING SEED AND CQ INFUSED BEVERAGES The Skinny: CQ Infused Beverages is a B2B subscription-based beverage company that provides a proprietary, patent-based infused beverage system in which customers transform their existing water, iced tea, club soda, or lemonade into a variety of specialty infused beverages by adding the company’s purees. These eco-friendly infused beverages can be found in spas, club lounges, banquets, and hotel lobbies. Matthew Farruggio is President of California Quivers Inc. (the manufacturing arm) and VP of CQ Infused Beverages, LLC (the distribution arm). The Challenge: CQ Infused Beverages was using a legacy accounting system that didn’t have the connectivity and functionality that the growing company needed. The software limited what Farruggio’s team of accountants could accomplish. CQ Infused Beverages was also snail-mailing bills, which Farruggio said “was a nightmare.” 12
