Two filters produce $219,624: the grouping Financial Consultant and the 2008 election cycle. FEC.gov individual-contribution tables supply 247 contributions and 88 donors. $3,958,795 is the all-cycle denominator for the same stored string, so 2008 is about 5.5% of that bucket. Not a consultants pac, not an sec-registered-adviser roster, and not a finance naics total.
Key figures
- Financial Consultant × 2008 is $219,624 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 247 contributions from 88 donors.
- 2008 is about 5.5% of the grouping’s $3,958,795 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text (self-reported occupation title), not a PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
How the Financial Consultant 2008 intersection is built
Public records on FEC.gov group itemized individual receipts by employer or occupation text and by election cycle. This file is the Financial Consultant row of the 2008 column: $219,624, 247 contributions, 88 donors. The packet does not list candidate names, party splits, or committee IDs.
Self-reported occupation title is the dimension on one side; the two-year 2008 tag is the other. Not a consultants pac, not an sec-registered-adviser roster, and not a finance naics total. FINANCIAL ADVISOR, CONSULTANT, INVESTMENT CONSULTANT, and named firm employers are other keys. Those neighboring strings have their own overlays if they exist.
Do not cite $3,958,795 as a 2008 total. Do not cite $219,624 as the lifetime Financial Consultant total. Each number answers a different filter. 2008 is a presidential even-year window on FEC.gov; that calendar label does not explain the dollar cell.
The lifetime Financial Consultant denominator
5.5% is $219,624 divided by $3,958,795. That arithmetic uses only packet facts. The leftover 94.5% equals $3,739,171 and lives on other cycle pages for Financial Consultant. A mid-single-digit share (or any other share this packet happens to show) is not a peak-year claim.
$3,958,795 is a sum of itemized individual receipts grouped to FINANCIAL CONSULTANT across cycles in this table. It is not assets, payroll, or a federal award total. Sharing a calendar year with USAspending records does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. Keep the 5.5% attached to Financial Consultant and 2008 together.
