almost there

Just about finished

Almost there signals that a goal, destination, or completion is imminent but not yet reached.

It encourages patience or persistence when the end is in sight: Keep going, we're almost there.

The phrase works for physical journeys, project deadlines, or any process nearing its finish: After three years of law school, she was almost there.
