ACCOUNTANT

Accountant as stored text, 2008 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Accountant and 2008 — sum to $745,154. 845 itemized contributions and 273 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the Accountant hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Accountant is a job title, not a license census. Two hundred seventy-three donors and 845 lines in 2008 matched that word. CPA is a neighboring abbreviation with its own cell. Named firms typed as employer sit on firm pages. CPA, CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT, BOOKKEEPER, and named firms such as PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP are other keys.

5.9% of the Accountant roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $12,687,400 ($12.7 million). The 2008 slice of $745,154 is about 5.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 94.1% ($11,942,246). Treating 2008 as the Accountant FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $12,687,400 as the denominator for the 5.9% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $12,687,400.

Questions

How much did Accountant donors give in 2008?

FEC.gov aggregates show $745,154 in itemized individual contributions for the Accountant grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 845 contributions and 273 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $12,687,400 all-cycle figure.

What share of Accountant FEC money is 2008?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $12,687,400. The 2008 cell of $745,154 is about 5.9% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 94.1% ($11,942,246) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Accountant hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only licensed or currently employed Accountant donors?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string Accountant. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2008 only, totaling $745,154 from 273 donors.

Where is the overlay for the Accountant 2008 join?

Open Accountant 2008 for the cycle overlay, Accountant for the grouping hub, and the 2008 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
