I have 8 Cisco SF-300 24PP switches on our network, but have no IP addresses for them as they were installed before my time. I have tried using FindIt, but it finds nothing. All the switches are working, but I need to inventory them and manage them. So my question is: How do I find them on my network

We do not know much about your environment and that makes it difficult to give good advice. I would think a starting point would be to use show cdp neighbor to find them (assuming that there is some Cisco gear that you have access to).

show cdp neighbor is done at the command prompt (could be in the console connection or in telnet or ssh connection.
We do not know much about your environment but assuming that there is some device that acts as the core for your network that would be the place to start. show cdp neighbor generally shows neighbors that are one hop away. So if show cdp neighbor shows a neighbor then you would need to access that device and use show cdp neighbor on that device to find other neighbors. Keep working one hop at a time until you get to a device that shows no cdp neighbors.
There are scenarios where show cdp neighbor might not find all of the Cisco devices. But let's not worry about that possibility for now. Try the show cdp neighbor and let us know what you find.

Apps like Solar Winds or PRTG etc only do part of the job, but I use their output as a subset of the data I store in my database.
