Braided sleeve for finishing the wire runs

In some professional installations, they use a braided sleeve material to protect and bundle the wires. There are many types, but some of the most common are available from McMaster Carr. This is the type that they carry.

Note, you want the fire retardant type.

Also, if looking for the good stuff for ahead of the firewall, it's called Roundit 2000nx and it isn't cheap, but it's made from Nomex and is a split type braid that wraps around the wire bundles and protects them from heat.
