We put forward a fully analytical approximation for the observable characteristics of many-electron atoms, which is obtained via a complete and orthonormal hydrogen-like basis. The basis contains a single-effective charge parameter that is identical for all electrons of a given atom. The completeness of the basis allows us to employ the secondary-quantized representation for the construction of regular perturbation theory, which includes correlation effects and converges fast. The hydrogen-like basis set provides a possibility to perform all summations over intermediate states in closed form, including both the discrete and continuous spectra. We demonstrate that our fully analytical zeroth-order approximation describes the whole spectrum of the system and provides accuracy, which is independent of the number of electrons. Moreover, the second-order perturbation theory results become comparable with those via a multi-configuration Hartree-Fock approach. [1] J. Phys.
