Collecting and realizing assets:
The partners must gather the firm's assets, which may include inventory, property, or any other valuable items. These assets are then liquidated or sold to generate funds for settling liabilities.

Closing the firm's accounts: The firm's financial accounts are closed at last by making the bank account or cash account which shows zero balance.
