Bookkeeper occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

Bookkeeper as occupation, 2012 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation BOOKKEEPER and election cycle 2012. Matching rows sum to $586,903, 972 contributions, and 404 donors. Drop either key and the number changes. Accountant, CPA, book keeping, and accounting clerk are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into a CPA-license census, an AICPA roll, or a firm PAC. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the remainder on the occupation hub.

Parent hubs: Bookkeeper donations at /occupations/bookkeeper/ and the 2012 election cycle at /election-cycles/2012/. All occupations at /occupations/ lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties at /ties/ keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $586,903 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Bookkeeper in 2012 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $586,903. In-house versus contract versus small-firm bookkeeping is unpublished for Bookkeeper in 2012. The occupation page and the 2012 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees. Four hundred-plus donor keys and nearly a thousand lines is a mid-scale clerical-finance cell, not a partner-only stack.

BOOKKEEPER, not accountant or CPA

$7.4 million ($7,412,920) belongs to the exact string BOOKKEEPER across harvested cycles. It is not a CPA-license census, an AICPA roll, or a firm PAC. People who wrote nearby wording — accountant, CPA, book keeping, and accounting clerk — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2012 slice is 7.9% of that title bucket ($586,903 of $7,412,920). Share of BOOKKEEPER is not share of all 2012 receipts. The remainder, $6,826,017, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $586,903. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $7,412,920. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Bookkeeper donations and the live 2012 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $586,903.

404 bookkeeper donors and 972 receipts in 2012

404 donors and 972 receipts — about 2.4 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $604; mean per donor about $1,453. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. Four hundred-plus donor keys and nearly a thousand lines is a mid-scale clerical-finance cell, not a partner-only stack. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 972 is a line count, not 404 one-time gifts. In-house versus contract versus small-firm bookkeeping is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by BOOKKEEPER. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $586,903. A 2008 Bookkeeper cell is a different cycle join against the same occupation total. Do not add the two years.

Clerical-finance title versus firm PACs

Cite $586,903 as Bookkeeper in 2012. Cite $7,412,920 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add accounting-firm PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $586,903 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 7.9%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode BOOKKEEPER into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a presidential-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset. USAspending.gov awards are a different ledger. This page does not claim that 2012 donations funded contracts or grants.

How to cite Bookkeeper money in 2012

A clean footnote names occupation BOOKKEEPER, election cycle 2012, $586,903 in itemized individual contributions, 972 receipts, and 404 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $604 per line and $1,453 per donor in the cell. If the live Bookkeeper donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 972 as unique workers in the trade named by BOOKKEEPER.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Bookkeeper donations rolls every cycle into one BOOKKEEPER running total. The 2012 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2012 total. Only the Bookkeeper × 2012 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 972 receipts and $586,903. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.

Occupation hub, 2012 hub, and the 2008 Bookkeeper cell

The occupation hub still holds $6,826,017 outside 2012. Most of the $7,412,920 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. A 2008 Bookkeeper cell is a different cycle join against the same occupation total. Do not add the two years. Gifts per donor in 2012 average about 2.4. That ratio is 972 divided by 404, not a measure of turnout. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
