Accountant political contributions from Virginia

Accountant and Virginia as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation ACCOUNTANT and donor state VA produce $1,399,080, 7,264 contributions, and 300 donors. The occupation hub is $37,845,841, 203,733 contributions, and 8,434 donors. Virginia’s dollar share is about 3.7%; contribution share about 3.6% (7,264 of 203,733); donor share about 3.6% (300 of 8,434). Three hundred Virginia donors are about 3.6% of 8,434 national donors; 7,264 contributions are about 3.6% of 203,733 national rows; dollars are about 3.7% of $37,845,841.

CPA, BOOKKEEPER, and AUDITOR, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Accountant total. Do not stack ACCOUNTANT with CPA or BOOKKEEPER into a single Virginia professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

300 Virginia donors produced 7,264 contributions, about 24.2 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 24.2 rows per donor nationally (203,733 contributions from 8,434 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Virginia cell is about $193, against about $186 nationwide. Virginia’s about 3.7% share of $37,845,841 tracks the national mix on a contribution-heavy occupation (203,733 national rows).

ACCOUNTANT as a common occupation string

ACCOUNTANT is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a CPA license in Virginia or any other state. The words on the form are the filter. The $37,845,841 national total is ACCOUNTANT only. 8,434 donors produced 203,733 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 203,733 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Virginia (VA). Eight thousand four hundred thirty-four national donors make this a many-person bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state VA.

Virginia on the state side

300 Virginia donors produced 7,264 contributions totaling $1,399,080. Donor state VA is the address on the record, not proof of a Virginia license, and not a limit to Virginia candidates. VA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Virginia CPA license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,399,080.

The Virginia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to VA. This join is only ACCOUNTANT. The Accountant occupation hub without Virginia still holds about 96.3% of the $37,845,841. Virginia’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to VA. ACCOUNTANT is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not count licensed CPAs, merge bookkeeper dollars, or claim that Accountant-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. ACCOUNTANT is not CPA even when filers meant a licensed practice.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. ACCOUNTANT is not a Board of Accountancy extract. Donor state VA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. License numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Accountant filter

Subtract the Virginia dollars on this page from the national ACCOUNTANT occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded ACCOUNTANT in every other state combined. That remainder ($36,446,761) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 300 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 7,264 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,399,080 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Virginia dollars, or only the ACCOUNTANT national total, drops a key. Three hundred donors producing 7,264 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,399,080 headline.
