仕上げ focuses on the final touches or completion of a specific task or product, while 仕納め emphasizes the act of finishing up one's duties or work for a given period.
終了 is a general term for 'end' or 'completion' and is more common in everyday speech; 仕納め is more specific to work or tasks and carries a slightly formal, literary tone.
Compound of 仕 (し, 'to do, serve') and 納め (おさめ, 'putting away, finishing'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the word is conventionally associated with completing one's work.
