CPA occupation money in the 2014 FEC cycle

CPA as occupation, 2014 as cycle

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string CPA. The other is the 2014 federal election cycle. The match is $2,884,227, built from 4,339 contributions and 2,252 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. Four thousand-plus midterm gifts from 2,252 donors is still a high-count cell. About 6.5% of the occupation stack sits below the 2012 CPA share of about 8.9%. Those percents are separate joins. Quote 2014 dollars only with cycle 2014.

Average contribution is about $665; average per donor is about $1,281. Those means are arithmetic on the 2014 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. About 1.9 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio, not a headcount of unique humans behind every spelling variant.

The 2014 CPA cell is not the 2012 cell

CPA in 2014 uses the same three-letter key as CPA 2012, with a smaller cycle total, fewer gifts, and fewer donors. ACCOUNTANT remains a different high-volume string. Licenses are not verified.

$44,519,078 is every cycle combined for CPA. $2,884,227 in 2014 is about 6.5% of that stack. Other windows hold about 93.5% ($41,634,851). A cycle cell at 6.5% is a chapter, not the occupation’s full FEC history. ACCOUNTANT, CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT, and AUDITOR are other occupation pages if stored separately. Combining them without naming each source total mixes keys.

2,252 donors and 4,339 gifts in 2014

2,252 unique donors against 4,339 contributions implies some repeat giving inside the 2014 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 $2,884,227.

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 CPA into a NAICS industry or a licensing roster. Recipients of the campaign gifts live on the occupation hub and the 2014 cycle hub.

About 6.5% of a $44.5 million occupation stack

6.5% is $2,884,227 divided by $44,519,078. Reading only 2014 understates the parent occupation book. Reading only the parent hides that this cycle’s share is 6.5%. The leftover outside 2014 is $41,634,851. 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 2014 only. A later or earlier cell for the same occupation string is a different join even when the occupation total $44,519,078 is shared.

What a CPA–2014 join cannot claim

This page does not rank firms and does not convert occupation text into a partnership contribution. Adding CPA 2012 without labels mixes cycles. Tax-prep volume is not a field in this packet.

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 $2,884,227, 4,339 contributions, and 2,252 donors for CPA in 2014. Cite $44,519,078 for the all-cycle occupation grouping. Name FEC.gov.

Related CPA and 2014 tables

CPA donations is the occupation hub behind $44,519,078. The 2014 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 $2,884,227, 4,339 gifts, or 2,252 donor IDs, the hub and FEC.gov control.

Keep the occupation string CPA attached to $2,884,227 whenever the sentence also names cycle 2014. Keep 4,339 contributions and 2,252 donors in the same citation so readers can see whether CPA in 2014 is a high-volume stack or a concentrated roster. The all-cycle occupation total $44,519,078 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 CPA-labeled donors give in 2014?

The CPA grouping’s 2014 cell is $2,884,227 in itemized individual contributions, from 4,339 contributions and 2,252 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $44,519,078 all-cycle occupation total.

Is the 2012 CPA total included here?

No. This cell is the self-reported string CPA matched to cycle 2014. ACCOUNTANT, CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT, and AUDITOR are other keys if stored separately. The FEC does not verify that the title matches a license or payroll. See the CPA occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.

What share of CPA FEC money fell in 2014?

About 6.5%. $2,884,227 divided by $44,519,078 is the 2014 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 93.5% ($41,634,851) on the occupation hub. See the CPA occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.

Is ACCOUNTANT included in this 2014 cell?

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. $2,884,227 is itemized receipts tagged CPA in 2014, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts never enter this cell. FEC.gov is the source.
