You may find people who will say there is a difference, but as an American, I find both fine. " and "There! " are also very commonly said.

You would use I have finished and Have you finshed? with the example of completeing a job. I am finished can be used. For example, when someone realises that their bankrupt or if they have made a terrible mistake they may say 'I'm finished'.
