To record the provision of accounting services to the dress shop for $8,500 and the expected payment on July 9th, you would make the following journal entry:

Date: [Date of the transaction]

Account Debit Credit
Accounts Receivable $8,500
Service Revenue $8,500

Explanation:
1. Debit Accounts Receivable: This represents the increase in the amount owed to the company for providing accounting services to the dress shop. Since the payment is yet to be received, it is recorded as an accounts receivable, which is an asset account.

2. Credit Service Revenue: This represents the revenue earned by providing the accounting services. It is recorded as a credit to the Service Revenue account, which is an income account.

Once the payment is received on July 9th, you will make another journal entry to record that transaction as well.
