About Creeda
Creeda makes accounting software for franchise businesses. It reads data from QuickBooks Online, bank accounts (through Plaid) and services such as DoorDash and ADP. Then it sorts each store's transactions into the right accounts and holds back the ones it is unsure of. An accountant approves the entries before anything goes into QuickBooks.
Creeda is aimed at three groups: franchisees, franchisors and accounting firms. Franchisees can compare their stores side by side, and franchisors can see each store's profit, not only the royalties it pays. Creeda, Inc. is a Delaware corporation based in New York City. Harrison Kirk is chief executive officer, Haojie Jia is chief technology officer and Sean May is CRO.

Why Investors Backed Creeda
Creeda is building accounting software for businesses that run many franchise stores. Its pitch is that a royalty report shows what a store sells, not what it earns. The software sorts each store's transactions into one standard set of accounts, shows each store's profit and leaves final approval to an accountant. The company's website does not name its investors or customers.
The problem it targets
Franchisors collect royalties as a share of each store's sales. Creeda's case is that this can hide how a store is doing. A struggling store can look fine on a royalty report. A store can grow, pay every royalty on time and still lose money. Owners of several stores have a related need. Creeda wants them to catch problems "now, not next month."
What the product does
Creeda reads data from QuickBooks Online, from bank accounts through Plaid and from services such as DoorDash and ADP. It sorts each store's transactions into accounts and holds back the ones it is unsure of. For each entry it shows the account it picked, how it picked it and how sure it was. An accountant approves the work before anything goes into QuickBooks. Creeda also lines up each franchisee's accounts with one brand standard, so a food-cost figure means the same thing in every store.
How the market is moving
Investors have funded AI accounting companies. In February 2026, Basis, which sells AI agents to accounting firms, raised $100 million at a $1.15 billion valuation, according to Reuters. Accel led the round. In September 2026, Adaptive, which does AI accounting for construction companies, raised $30 million in a round led by Tidemark, according to International Accounting Bulletin. Franchise software is drawing money too. Delightree, which sells an operations system to franchise brands, announced $25 million in funding on August 4, 2026.
