Financial Consultant money in the 2012 FEC cycle

Financial Consultant as occupation, 2012 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation FINANCIAL CONSULTANT and election cycle 2012. Matching rows sum to $1,013,234, 581 contributions, and 288 donors. FINANCIAL CONSULTANT in 2012 is a two-word advisory title. FEC.gov does not confirm Series exams or CFP marks. The occupation hub is $13,786,562 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2012 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2012’s dollar share is 7.3% ($1,013,234 of $13,786,562). The remainder, $12,773,328, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. Under three hundred donor keys carrying more than a million dollars is a thinner, higher-mean advisory cell. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $1,013,234.

The FINANCIAL CONSULTANT string across every cycle

$13,786,562 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2012. Financial Advisor, Consultant, and Finance are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $13,786,562 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Financial Consultant donations for the $13,786,562 roll. Open the 2012 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures.

288 donors and a four-figure mean gift

Dividing $1,013,234 by 581 contributions yields about $1,744 per gift. Dividing by 288 donors yields about $3,518 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.0 (581 ÷ 288). Those ratios describe this string in 2012, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

288 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2012. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 288 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2012 receipts beside this cell. Financial Advisor is a nearby key if stored separately. Do not fold those receipts into this CONSULTANT cell.

What Financial Consultant dollars in 2012 are not

A 7.3% share of Financial Consultant-coded dollars from 2012 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that 2012 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $1,013,234 as itemized individual receipts tagged FINANCIAL CONSULTANT in 2012, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Financial Consultant × 2012

A complete claim names Financial Consultant and 2012, then $1,013,234, 581 contributions, 288 donors, and 7.3% of $13,786,562, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 288 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Financial Consultant and 2012—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,744 and mean per donor $3,518 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2012 hub, and Financial Advisor as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $12,773,328 outside 2012. Most of the $13,786,562 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. Financial Advisor, Consultant, and Finance are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of FINANCIAL CONSULTANT on this page. Gifts per donor in 2012 average about 2.0. That ratio is 581 divided by 288, not a measure of turnout.
