This means "when you finish".

But I see "this way that you finish". But in the translation it just says "when you finish". What am I missing about this translation?

In English @ thsi way that you finiosh' is just not a workable phrase. One can't translate word for word all the time. - annierats, Nov 17, 2014

How can you know when the rest of the sentence is missing and you have no context?

I can only give you an example, ie: Cuando prepares la comida, hazla así que acabes todos los platos a la vez. (When you prepare the meal, do it like this so that you finish all the dishes at the same time).
