Accountant occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

Accountant as occupation, 2012 as cycle

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string ACCOUNTANT. The other is the 2012 federal election cycle. The match is $3,306,797, built from 4,129 contributions and 1,927 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. Four thousand-plus presidential-year gifts from about 1,900 donors is a high-count cell with a modest mean. Do not stack Accountant 2012 and CPA 2012 into one accounting-profession total without naming both source figures.

Average contribution is about $801; average per donor is about $1,716. Those means are arithmetic on the 2012 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. About 2.1 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio, not a headcount of unique humans behind every spelling variant.

ACCOUNTANT is not the CPA bucket

ACCOUNTANT is a common occupation string. CPA 2012 is a different three-letter key with more gifts and more donors in this slice. BOOKKEEPER and AUDITOR, if used, sit in other hubs. The FEC does not verify licenses.

$37,845,841 is every cycle combined for ACCOUNTANT. $3,306,797 in 2012 is about 8.7% of that stack. Other windows hold about 91.3% ($34,539,044). A cycle cell at 8.7% is a chapter, not the occupation’s full FEC history. CPA, BOOKKEEPER, and AUDITOR are other occupation pages if stored separately. Combining them without naming each source total mixes keys.

1,927 donors and 4,129 gifts in 2012

1,927 unique donors against 4,129 contributions implies some repeat giving inside the 2012 window. Primaries, generals, and multiple committees all add rows. One person can appear more than once if addresses or names vary. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $3,306,797.

A title on a form is not an employment verification. People using a household occupation, a retired title, or a short status word can all land in the same cell. LobbyVault does not recode ACCOUNTANT into a NAICS industry or a licensing roster. Recipients of the campaign gifts live on the occupation hub and the 2012 cycle hub.

About 8.7% of a $37.8 million occupation stack

8.7% is $3,306,797 divided by $37,845,841. Reading only 2012 understates the parent occupation book. Reading only the parent hides that this cycle’s share is 8.7%. The leftover outside 2012 is $34,539,044. Those other-cycle dollars are not itemized on this relationship page.

Presidential-year and midterm windows are different FEC two-year clocks. This page cites cycle 2012 only. A later or earlier cell for the same occupation string is a different join even when the occupation total $37,845,841 is shared.

What an Accountant–2012 join cannot claim

This page does not rank firms and does not measure tax-prep volume. It does not claim that campaign gifts funded IRS or Treasury awards.

The page does not identify employers, does not convert occupation text into a corporate gift, and does not link FEC receipts to USAspending obligations. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. Correlation between a job title and a cycle total is not causation. Cite $3,306,797, 4,129 contributions, and 1,927 donors for Accountant in 2012. Cite $37,845,841 for the all-cycle occupation grouping. Name FEC.gov.

Related Accountant and 2012 tables

Accountant donations is the occupation hub behind $37,845,841. The 2012 election cycle page is the cycle census across occupations. All occupations lists other strings. All FEC ties collects other occupation-cycle pairs from the same two fields. Live hubs override this snapshot. If a hub disagrees with $3,306,797, 4,129 gifts, or 1,927 donor IDs, the hub and FEC.gov control.

Keep the occupation string ACCOUNTANT attached to $3,306,797 whenever the sentence also names cycle 2012. Keep 4,129 contributions and 1,927 donors in the same citation so readers can see whether Accountant in 2012 is a high-volume stack or a concentrated roster. The all-cycle occupation total $37,845,841 answers a different question: every window combined, not this two-year clock. Unitemized receipts, independent expenditures, and state-office campaigns sit outside this extract. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.

Questions

How much did Accountant-labeled donors give in 2012?

The Accountant grouping’s 2012 cell is $3,306,797 in itemized individual contributions, from 4,129 contributions and 1,927 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $37,845,841 all-cycle occupation total.

Is CPA included in this Accountant total?

No. This cell is the self-reported string ACCOUNTANT matched to cycle 2012. CPA, BOOKKEEPER, and AUDITOR are other keys if stored separately. The FEC does not verify that the title matches a license or payroll. See the Accountant occupation hub for other cycles and the 2012 cycle hub for other strings.

What share of Accountant FEC money fell in 2012?

About 8.7%. $3,306,797 divided by $37,845,841 is the 2012 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 91.3% ($34,539,044) on the occupation hub. See the Accountant occupation hub for other cycles and the 2012 cycle hub for other strings.

Does the FEC verify accounting licenses?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $3,306,797 is itemized receipts tagged ACCOUNTANT in 2012, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts never enter this cell. FEC.gov is the source.
