FINANCIAL CONSULTANT
Filers who listed FINANCIAL CONSULTANT on federal itemized receipts account for $4.0M ($3,958,795) on FEC.gov. The cluster holds 11,916 contributions and 330 donors. The two-word string is a function written in the employer box, not a NAICS securities-intermediation total and not a PAC.
Key figures
- FINANCIAL CONSULTANT as FEC employer text totals $4.0M ($3,958,795) from 330 donors.
- 11,916 contribution lines sit under that two-word function string.
- CONSULTANT, self/consultant, and STOCKBROKER are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or PAC total.
A title in the employer field, not a firm roster
LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. FINANCIAL CONSULTANT is the credential-plus-function as stored. The $3,958,795 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not CONSULTANT alone, not self/consultant with a slash, and not a NAICS investment-advice category.
CONSULTANT, self/consultant, STOCKBROKER, and named broker-dealers sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into FINANCIAL CONSULTANT. The FEC field records what was typed, not a FINRA registration file.
330 donors and 11,916 lines
330 unique donors produced 11,916 FINANCIAL CONSULTANT contribution lines totaling $3,958,795. That is on the order of 36 itemized receipts per donor and a mean gift near $332. Mean per donor is about $11,996. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count without raising unique donors at the same pace.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and committee PAC filings are outside the $3,958,795 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

Questions
- How much have FINANCIAL CONSULTANT-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $3,958,795 to the FINANCIAL CONSULTANT employer string, from 11,916 contributions and 330 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not a PAC and not a NAICS securities-advice total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Is this the same as CONSULTANT or self/consultant?
- No. CONSULTANT and self/consultant are separate grouped strings. The $4.0M total is only receipts whose employer text grouped to FINANCIAL CONSULTANT. LobbyVault does not merge those variants into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
- Does this include STOCKBROKER filers?
- No. STOCKBROKER is a separate employer string in this ranking. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text FINANCIAL CONSULTANT. Staff who typed a wirehouse name sit in that firm row instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- How many unique donors listed FINANCIAL CONSULTANT?
- The rollup counts 330 donors and 11,916 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not a FINRA headcount. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
