i bought a fig tree at a local greenhouse and it is really root bound it has a lot of branching for such a small pot. so , my question is can i prune it after i transfer it to a larger pot ? it has a lot of leafless top growth. maybe to jumpstart new root growth?

I'm of the opinion that you can prune a fig tree at any point. You probably won't induce much growth this late in the season unless you are in the tropics or growing in a controlled environment.

i live in zone 7a so my season is coming to an end. i am keeping them in my house where i have some old lights i had from my reef aquariums. i bought two plants one is a celeste and the other is marseilles fig. the celeste is doing great but the marseilles is the one i wish to prune.
