activo neto
It is probably safer to go with "activo neto". In three good sources, the following is said as the translations given for "net assets"
Diccionario de términos contables (Instituto mexicano de contadores públicos, A.C.) (1995) activo neto
Oxford Business Dictionary (2002) activo neto
Urrutia - Diccionario de negocios (1999) - activo neto, capital líquido, activo líquido
All three sources are excellent. The first, obviously, is an accounting dictionary and thus most relevant to a balance sheet.
In conclusion, all three mention "activo neto" in the singular for "activos netos".

activo neto o líquido
es indiferente. Alcaraz traduce 'net asset' como 'neto o líquido'. ¡Suerte!

activos netos
El término <net assets> se refiere a la diferencia entre los activos totales y los pasivos de una empresa.
Es posible que gran parte de esos activos no sean líquidos, pero no por ello dejan de reflejar el valor neto de la empresa.
