That which you can finish is good.
Great that it can be done,/ can be realized/ can be completed.
Without context that's my best effort.

Also: I don´t know why, but when phrases and proverbs are written in passive voice they seem to have more feeling of poetry, so to translate the feeling along with this sentence we would say "Well is that which can be finished."
In this case we´re unusually lucky: the translation is almost word-for-word and it works.

If you want to be poetic, how about "All's well that ends well"? - PeterRS, Dec 15, 2012

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this sentence can be rearranged into this: Lo que se lleva a cabo está bien.
So my attempt would be: What reaches the end is fine.
Whether it makes sense will depend on the context, too.
