Finite means there is an end to it and ultimate concern is the overall concern.
Take care and appreciate life.

I don't know what you need this for, but finite by definition has boundaries. Ultimate may have them but they are more distant.
Ultimate suggests a final concern.

Finite concern is about an immetate problem that you face.
Ultimate concern is about what will happen in the future to you or anybody.

The words Jesus speaks to Martha belong to the most famous of all the words in the Bible. Martha and Mary have become symbols for two possible attitudes towards life, for two forces in man and in mankind as a whole, for two kinds of concern. Martha is concerned about many things, but all of them are finite, preliminary, transitory. Mary is concerned about one thing, which is infinite, ultimate, lasting.

Finite is present or immediate and ultimate is to the extreme future. Thank you for your question.
